“He’s undoubtedly got some of everything,” Gwen commented, leaning against the doorframe.


“Looks like.” Van went to get his pack, took out his phone, and began taking pictures of both rooms and the contents. Then he dug into the pack, coming up with a pair of handcuffs that he used on Barone.


While he was doing that, Gwen went to the laptop. She started checking files before announcing, “We should take this with us. I work better when I’m dressed.”


“Where are your clothes?” Tate asked.


“Got me. He drugged me after we were in his car. When I came to, I was here, tied up, and damned near naked.”


While they were talking, Van looked down at the still comatose Barone. “You want to help me lug this lug out of here, Tate?”


“Yep. Getting him up that ladder should be fun.”


Van grinned. “We put a rope around him and haul him up.”


“You have one in your pack? God only knows you seem to have everything else.”


“Now that you mention it…No. We’ll figure something out.”
