The auction (1)

The auction was held in an abandoned factory. It had been redecorated inside, and the entrance had been moved underground. The luxury cars would head downwards so that no one would notice the crowd moving in the building. It was still a mystery how the police hadn't noticed so many expensive cars with the same destination, but it was not something Ethan or Vera needed to worry about.

They had a tracker each and a mic on their clothes. Vera was wearing an emerald necklace she hadn't allowed the police to transform into a cam - for it would have been obvious to everyone there; those people knew how to discern a fake gemstone. She had said, however, that the camera could be put in the purse. She would ensure to point it around to witness everything.

A white van of the police was not far from them, intercepting everything and getting ready to intervene if they sensed danger. However, no one was expecting any need for an intervention.
