Merrick the Art Thief

“Thurman’s paintings won’t have this.” Merrick perked up. “I should call him. He’s trying to get me out of the country right now.”


“I’ll call him, but I think we’re onto something.” Wyatt nodded. “At first, I didn’t get it, but remember when Thurman took the one off the frame and there was a number six? They all have numbers, one through seven. They each have hands pointing to the right or left.”


“Right or left? Like a combination?”


“Directions to an address.” Wyatt scrolled through the pictures on his phone, stopping on an image of a billing invoice. “The paintings, in the order they were painted, lead to 1754236.”


“Look at the address on the receipt.”


Merrick held Wyatt’s phone close as he read the address for Reliable Storage in Meriweather Grove, Louisiana. “It’s 1754 E Monroe.” He looked at Wyatt. “I’m not following.”
