He smiled and nodded. "I'll leave the menu to you," he said. "We'd like to eat on the terrace. I'll be in library until then." Derek headed back to the library, entering through the downstairs doors.

It was just a children's book, but he realized it might actually be the key. Derek hurried up the second level and into the control room. Once inside he put the book the table beside him logged onto the computer. He used his passcode to connect with the London house and made an emergency request for a digital copy of a Legacy Journal.
