Ch 5
After the auction, Nate and Sully met up with Chloe in Barcelona.
The marker was supposed to be a tree but there were so many trees and that didn't seem like a secretive option to Nate.
They also had another problem.
When Nate checked his backpack, it was empty.
Chloe had stolen the cross since she didn't trust Sully.
Nate was running from rooftop to rooftop until he accidentally rammed into Sully.
"Could you run any slower?" Nate asked in frustration.
"Give me a break, kid." Sully said. "I got a bad ankle."
Nate ran after Chloe on his own and they soon reached a water fountain, then the square where Chloe was already in her car starting it up.
"STOP!" Nate shouted, pleading for her to listen.
"Piss off." Chloe snapped, not in the least bit interested.
"Listen to me!" Nate tried. "The 18 were willing to wait years to go back for the gold. They wouldn't have picked a tree as a marker. They would have picked
something more permanent."
"You're full of shit." Chloe replied.
Man, she was as stubborn as hell.
"Hey." Sully had finally caught up with them. "Let her go. She knows where to use the keys, then she doesn't need us, right?"
"Okay. Be my guest." Nate said. "Get outta here.
"Thank you."
"Bye."
Chloe drove off but a minute later, she pulled right back in.
She didn't know what the marker was.
"If it's not a tree, what is it?"
"At the auction house, Moncada called it an "altar crucifix." I didn't think about it then but it means that the cross was originally made to stand on an altar. In a church."
"Which church?" Chloe and Sully both asked.
Nate was extremely annoyed. They both just wanted to get it by themselves but things never worked out that way.
"God, you guys never stop, do you? If we wanna get the gold, we have to figure out a way to trust each other. So give me the key." Nate said, reaching with his hand.
"Which church?" Chloe asked for the final time.
Finally, everyone else had realized it.
They needed to be a team.
