Table


It had started with the kitchen table. Alex had unscrewed the leg out of morbid curiosity. A piece of paper fell out. Alex gaped at the picture of a younger Yassen Gregorovich. He dumped the leg out. A flash drive came next. Alex quickly glanced around before pocketing both. He began searching the rest of the house. Piece after piece. It was more information than Alan Blunt would ever dream of giving him. It was more than Ian had given him in life. Alex felt his heart begin to pound as he slid the first flash drive into his computer.
