Merrick the Art Thief

“You’re an interesting fellow, Mr. Davidson. Bank robber. Art thief. A very valuable asset to the right person, I would say.”


Merrick took deep breaths as he faced Squires.


“There’s a very interesting exhibit on the second floor, isn’t there?”


Jordan’s voice came from behind them. “He wouldn’t know.” Her gaze was locked on Squires as she walked past Merrick. “He’s not much of an art lover.”


From the hallway, there were the sounds of grunts, then a body hitting the floor.


“Looks like I’m up to four.” Jordan grinned at Merrick. “Get out of here, I’ll handle him.”


The fire alarm sounded and then people began to rush toward an exit. Merrick led Grant into the group, then passed Scotty. He had taken down the two agents following Merrick, but didn’t move as Merrick hurried by.
