Chapter 26: Phase 2

Phase 2 of the plan required my presence at the museum in the morning. That was the time, the artifacts were due to be moved from the hall to the secured staff area ready for shipment. I had called in sick at school, but not at the museum. I had to keep things as normal as possible for Harry’s sake. Had I taken a sick day at work, then Harry would be on high alert waiting for something scandalous to happen.

Pretending to be a tourist, I arrived at work through the visitors’ entrance and casually picked up a museum map from the information stand. Keeping it open, I used it as an excuse to keep my head down and my face out of sight from the cameras secured high above my head.
