"You give us a complete map of the Cathedral. Escape routes. Guard schedules. Everything."
"Done."
"And if it goes wrong... you get us out of there."
Flavius smiled. "Impossible. But I can create a distraction."
Genius nodded. "That'll do."
Flavius spread a large map on the table, a complete architectural plan of the Cathedral, three floors above ground, five underground levels.
Genius leaned forward, studying it with clinical eyes.
"Routes..." he murmured, tracing with his finger, "...how often do guard patterns change?"
"Three hours." Flavius replied. "Full shift."
"Ideal time..." Genius calculated, "...midnight. Shift change. Five-minute window where guards communicate positions."
Haru looked at the map but ignored most of it.
"Too much strategy. Complex plans fail quickly."
"Or..." Haru said loudly, "...we go in during the day. Disguised as students."
Genius looked at him as if he'd said something crazy. "During the DAY? With the Cathedral packed?"
