Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me
Characters: Mike Gambit and Alex Kapranos
Rating: R
Time Period: Modern
Location: Castle Interior
Relative Date: Sometime during the current plot
Status: Finished
Gambit got off the helicopter, and took the device with him. It seemed like some kind of radio, though he didn't recognize the make of it. The pilot had been less than talkative, but he hadn't been looking for a tour guide so he let him be. The castle was the most obvious building in the area. If Scapina really was back at work, that's where Gambit would find him -- it, whatever.
He headed toward the castle, not wanting to waste any time. It was a little unnerving that he hadn't heard directly from Steed or even Purdey, but knowing Steed he was already on the case. Knowing Steed, he'd already solved it.
There was no one out anywhere that Gambit could see. No traffic on the street, no gardeners at work, no butlers taking out the trash, no English countryman out for a ride or foxhunt. The scenery was just dead. Even the breeze seemed muted as he neared the castle, and stepped up to the large front entrance. There was no sense in finding another way in, Scapina no doubt already knew he was here. He pushed open one of the doors and stepped inside, his hand reaching inside his jacket and wrapping around the handle of his gun.
The inside was the same, quiet -- too quiet. Gambit took another few steps inside, carefully noting the surroundings. There weren't any security cameras, either Scapina had gotten much more sophisticated or something was terribly wrong. He snuck toward the closest hall. He needed to be sure he didn't miss anything, and in a building as large as this he might as well start at the beginning.
