Chapter 41

Kyle successfully closed the case he’d taken, turning over the information he’d gathered to the proper authorities. The news that a major art thief had been arrested and was facing trial, hit the papers two days after he returned home.

It had been a long, arduous job, so he decided to take a break to relax and unwind. Thus he didn’t answer his phone, early Tuesday morning, when he saw Alex’s code name come up on the Caller ID. Alex was persistent however, to the point that Kyle figured he’d better answer before the man showed up in person.

“So what’s so important you keep calling?” Kyle asked. “I told you I needed to take some time off.”

“This has nothing to do with a job,” Alex replied. “I thought you might like to visit a museum.”

Kyle snorted. “I do that way too often. Why now?”

“Just do it.”

“A specific one, or are you trying to get me to expand my art horizons?”

“The American Civil War Museum.”

“Been there. Seen most of what they have to offer. I’ll pass.”
