"Take me instead."

Preston's eyes widen. "Nigel –"

"Shut up," Nigel cuts off his brother, not taking his eyes off the two men who were just manhandling Preston from the room. "I'm better with languages, I can translate the texts better." It took a long time for Nigel to feel as though he could claim that he was better at something than Preston, but it's true. And now that gift is going to get Preston out of trouble.

One of the henchmen nods and they throw Preston aside.

"Tell Syd…" Nigel's voice drifts. He only knows what Preston knows, that someone wants a necklace worn by Queen Nefertiti. Sydney can narrow down the location just as well as he can, even without the texts – he's seen her do more with less. He thinks about having Preston tell her a million things that he suddenly needs her to know and then dismisses all of them. She'll find him. "Oh never mind."

Nigel goes with the men. He's not used to making big gestures, especially when his brother's involved, but he knows that he's better equipped to handle this kind of situation despite the two hunts Preston has now taken part in.
