Magnus's Note
Raphael Mirabaud
I knew the Rogues hadn’t signed up for this.
When Raphael returned to the Mirabaud estate after stealing the guns, he excused himself from Flicka—who had been pacing and was relieved to see him—to the bathroom, locked the door, and examined the paper that Magnus had passed to him.
The note was a quarter of a sheet of paper so as notto make a noticeable lump in his utility pocket after the bump-pass, and it read,Rogues are suspicious that you are compromised with this operation. They didn’t sign up to be Russian guards bought by crimelords. Not sure how much longer I can hold onto this.
Raphael sucked a deep breath and sighed.
Hopefully, when Magnus saw the reams of scanned pages and electronic copies of Geneva Trust’sdata on the flash drive, he would change his mind about whose side Raphael was on.
Raphael flushed the note down the toilet and went back to the living room, grabbed his wife, and dragged the giggling woman to bed like the adrenaline-drunk caveman he was.
