Once Campy saw the gates for the Estate du Cluade, he pulled out a wireless device that Ricky gave him with the black box. He pressed the button and waited for the green light to confirm the box received the message. Then he turned off the street and onto the road that led to the estate. He was sure that the cameras picked up who entered, whether or not the two men looked until whoever it was came to the Estate's parking entrance or not was another matter. But once Campy was at the gate it flew open without him stopping. He rode in noticing that no one was in the courtyard, not even one of the two men at the security cameras. And because they were out of sight from the laundry room, Campy rode there and noticed a small light on in a little barred window near the door.
He rode up to the door and dismounted, knocked three times and the door opened. A small girl was there with a smile. 'Monsieur, quickly, bring your bicycle in."
Campy complied and she pointed to a mound of laundry nearby, "Hide your bike there, behind the bundles. It will be waiting for you when you leave."
Girlymann did as she asked and then said, "Thank you Rose."
She blushed and then curtsied. "Your welcome Monsieur." She then pulled out a sheet of paper that looked like a blueprint of the Estate. There was an X where they were and drawn lines to a location under the Estate. "You will find what you are looking for with this map." She said and pointed along the line from the laundry room to a point marked, Dungeon.
Campy studied the blueprint turned into a map and he could see why he needed it, there were so many passages and it seemed to him that he was being directed to a hidden passage that went directly to the dungeon from a location near the library. It was also marked, 'USE WITH CAUTION!' another line went further on and around to a series of staircases and hallways, a longer way but without the caution warning.
Campy had to make a decision.
To be continued....
