       Wicked Ones: Dorothy

"Think about it, guys. The Court's been around since the last century." I inquire.

"It makes sense they have secure locations, safe houses all across the city." Jim nods.

"And that's where they're hiding the virus bomb?Makes sense." Harvey agrees.

"We dug deeper into Kathryn's holdings. She owns a tenement building near Miller Harbor. But, there's a discrepancy between the square footage listed in the city records and the blueprints. Over two thousand square feet." Oliver informs as we lay down a map on the desk.

"You're saying they got a secret room there. Okay, but by your guys's logic, there could be dozens of secret rooms throughout the city. And the virus bomb could be in any one of them. You're in the club now. This Kathryn broad trusts you. Why not just wait for her to call?"

"Because if I can do it quietly, she'll never know.  And if the bomb is there, I can end this." Jim says.

"Okay, where in this building is the secret room?" Harvey wonders.

"Lucius says the basement." I reply.

"Oh, Lucius says the basement. I guess we should check out the basement."

"What is your issue with him?"

"He's smarter than me. Sound familiar, kid?"

"Yeah, it does." I wickedly grin. "Let's go." I start to walk.

"How come no one ever hides something in a place I actually would like to search?" Harvey questions as we walk through the basement. "You know, like a brewery or a strip joint."

"Or a casino." Jim says.

"Exactly. All I'm asking for is a little, uh, consideration."

"This is more like it." I stop.

"What's this?" Jim asks.

"Little crease in the wall." Oliver walks over to the wall with me. "I think it's a door."

"Let me hit the lights." Harvey opens the box and presses some buttons.

"Just need to find the way in." Jim mutters before the door opens.

"I meant to do that."

"Uh-huh." I chuckle before we head inside.

"Geez." Jim comments. "I don't see a bomb anywhere."
