Chapter 1079 - Two missions at the same time (4) (1/2)
~ Dallas ~
Sarah and Aiden are observing on the laptop video feeds of the area provided by the drones they dispatched.
Eric told them that in this place Mr. Morgan has a secret underground bunker of some sort where he keeps most of his valuables.
Sarah and Aiden want to make Morgan family's demise appear like it came from Chaos, so they selected few targets to attack and to leave their marks.
Most of the things they can handle from the comfort of their computer room by shutting down the accounts and tampering with names on the documents, but they need the originals (if any exist) so that Mr. Morgan can't take them back.
Eric informed them that this is the most secretive and most secured location that Mr. Morgan owns, so they concluded that if those original documents exist, the chance is high that they will be here. Based on that, Sarah and Aiden decided to make this location their first target.
They didn't bring Eric with them, because they still don't trust him completely. He was under the influence of the truth serum, but there is always a possibility that they didn't ask the right questions.
After all they've been through, Sarah and Aiden don't trust newcomers easily.
Sarah and Aiden have with them twenty men from the White family. They are all people whom they trained on the White property, and currently they are working for Jeff. Each of those men received a facemask, so that their identities are not exposed, and also they are here with ten black unmarked vans. Their purpose: to help Sarah and Aiden carry out any 'treasures' they find in that underground bunker.
The mission went smoothly. The drones disabled guards, Eve took over the surveillance and put it on a loop so that activities of 'the robbers' are not recorded. Sarah and Aiden walked in with Jeff's men like they own the place.
The scans from the surface showed that there is something underground, but it is deep, and under a layer of some metallic mixture, so they were unable to see the details.
They expected to find a bunker and a bunker they found.
The entrance was right where Eric told them, and Eve helped crack the passcodes and bypass the biometrics so that no alarms are triggered.
Sarah and Aiden didn't expect what they found inside. It was like a huge treasure cave. Paintings stacked one on top of the other. Both Sarah and Aiden are not into art, but Eve-vision helped them identify few pieces worth several million dollars each. Those pieces are missing from the open market for many years. There were statues, ancient weapons, antiques, jewelry, a wall-covering wine rack with hundreds of bottles… It seems that Mr. Morgan is a collector.
Sarah's eyes lit up when she saw a huge safe door which leads to another room!
As soon as they confirmed that there are no traps, Sarah and Aiden got Jeff's men to start taking things into vans.
Initial plan was to take everything with them to Los Angeles right away, but they found too many items which need to be handled with care. Aiden instructed their helpers to take all the items to the storage owned by the White family, where it will be packed and secured in a way to prevent any damage and then it will be transported to Los Angeles where Sarah and Aiden will figure out what exactly they looted and what to do with it.
Aiden suggested that Penny can help them with the artwork because she is an expert in the area, to which Sarah agreed absentmindedly while reading on Eve-vision instructions how to crack open that safe-door. Whatever is inside, must be precious enough to hide in the safe inside a secret bunker.
Aiden handled logistics of getting the things out while Sarah kept busy with the safe.
Aiden was surprised that Sarah had a diamond-head drill and explosive with her, it seems that she expected something like this. Or maybe she hoped for it. He didn't notice when she packed those things in the suitcase which she brought with her.
With the help of the Eve-vision, Sarah knew where exactly to drill and how much explosive to put inside in order to damage internal locking mechanism without blasting the door itself.
Jeff's people worked fast, and they were more than halfway with clearing numerous things from the bunker when the door of the safe opened.
Inside they found gold bars, diamonds and documents. A lot of documents.
Aiden glanced randomly through few and confirmed that one section was filled with property deeds, originals. What surprised them is that not all of them are on the name of the members of the Morgan family.
One stack of documents was on the name 'Harriet Morgan' . Sarah remembered that Penny told her how her parents took away her assets, well… she will get them back. It's a piece of cake for Sarah and Aiden to change the name on electronic documents, and as long as Penny holds onto the originals, 'Harriet Morgan' will not show up to claim what is hers.
”Do you think that these are stolen? Or are they kept here for safekeeping?”, Aiden asked Sarah while holding several documents which had unknown owner's names on them.
Sarah shrugged indicating that she does not know. ”We are taking everything and will examine them later.”
Another section inside the vault was with some other documents, pages from different magazines, photographs, and there were several external hard drives as well.
”Any guesses what these are?”, Sarah asked Aiden.
