Chapter 75: Bain, Orion

Friday. Café Brazil. Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza.

BAIN STARED AT THE door. He could hear their fading footsteps if he listened carefully enough.

"You didn't realize that was not Milan Esposito?" Mr. Magness' tone was cutting.

Bain glanced at his boss. He felt sweat bead on his brow and knew this was one blunder he couldn't get out of.

"She's four-five-inches taller, man. Open you damn eyes." Mr. Magness snatched up his paper and stood.

"Sorry, sir," Bain muttered.

Mr. Magness waved his hand. "Bah. It's her job to confuse people. Don't fall for it again. And find out everything you can on this Jennifer Miracle. You're going to be responsible for her and getting me that puzzle box."

Bain nodded.

"Apply whatever pressure you must. The best opening will be tomorrow night. If she drags her heels, use our contact at the police and see if we can't change her mind. This has a better chance of succeeding if it isn't Ms. Esposito doing the job. This could work out in our favor."
