Continued from Renovations
Aria had a bit of time to think on the train. She only wished she could settle down and have one day to herself. It seemed like since her father... No Father Dimitri had sent her away it was one thing after another. Like there was always something more pressing to do. Aria felt more trapped now than she had when living in the Vatican.
But the Baccarat Mansion stood in front of her and there was nothing more she could do than go in, see the horrible person she was to meet and then be on her way to her next so-called mission. Whatever that was.
The way into headquarters was secret, yet it had been broken into. How safe were they really? And why would anyone want to break into headquarters, Aria doubted anything of any value was inside. Surely they had better safes and safe houses than what would be found inside the prestigious building the Moscow headquarters was located.
Aria didn't have to knock on Father Stone's door, it was wide open and the man looked rather pale. When Aria knocked on the door as she stood in the frame he nearly jumped out of his skin. Aria smiled, she could feel the fear emanating from him, it made her feel better. Though she doubted he feared her.
He took a gulp. "I have made a grievous error sending you on that mission. Father Dimitri has insisted rather profusely that you were to go straight away to your next place of um, well, work."
"You have everything he sent you?" He asked rather hopefully.
Aria nodded. "I do."
"Good. The Regus requires your attention."
To say Aria was shocked would be an understatement. What would the Regus want with her? Aria nodded.
"You can find him in the Great Library, two floors down."
Aria nodded, and shrugged her bag higher on her shoulder. Down into the bowels again she went.
The door was closed and Aria knocked politely waiting for admittance. One did not interrupt the Regus.
