“The attic?” Oliver said “How?”

“Rooftop entry, after dark,” he said, as the phone rang

“Should I answer it?” Oliver asked

“Typically,” Bill said, “Chelsea would answer”

“I can be Chelsea,” Remi said

“He ht suspect you if you sound American”

“I’ll make sure to sound like a proper Brit,” she said, in her best upper-crust accent “David Cooke’s office”

“Well done Let’s give it a try, shall we?” Bill hit the speaker button

“Who’s calling, please?”

“Dex Northcott”
