"You're not going without a plan."
Arthur stood in front of Clara, his expression leaving no room for argument.
Clara folded the message and placed it on the table.
"Henry has my mother."
"And he wants you to walk into his building carrying a seal he believes is real."
"Then we give him what he wants."
Arthur shook his head.
"That's exactly what he expects."
Aaron entered the room with his tablet.
"Mr. Blackwood is right. I've checked the address in the message. It's an abandoned corporate building owned by one of Henry's subsidiaries. The property has three entrances and an underground parking area."
"How many men?" Arthur asked.
"At least twelve. Possibly more."
Clara looked at Samuel.
"Can you identify the original fourth seal?"
Samuel nodded.
"Yes. The original was engraved with a small inscription beneath the family crest. It reads: Custodia Veritatis."
Clara examined the silver seal Genevieve had given her.
There was no inscription.
