their taxi finally stops in Durham after 11 hours on the train, they are exhausted but are in front of the mansion of their London friends.

(Eurus): wow, it's...huge.

William smiles.

(Curtis): It hasn't changed.

a boy comes out of the mansion, Curtis begins to cry lightly while hiding.

(?): C-Curtis ?
(Curtis): Heath.

The young boy remains motionless before taking Curtis in his arms.

(Curtis): I'm so happy to see you again.
(Heath): Me too Curtis.
(William): I don't think we've ever seen each other. My name is William, I am the leader of this team. We come to see Perth and his brother following the letter we received.

Heath curtsies and kisses Eurus's right hand before saying anything.

(Heath): I know who you are William, well follow me please.
(Eurus): excuse me, your face...is telling me something.

Heath smiles but says nothing more and heads for the mansion, motioning for the team to follow him. Arriving in the lobby, a young man awaits them with a big smile.

(Nomad): signs with his hands to express himself: hello, my name is Nomad, I am...mute because of an accident.
Hope you will understand me anyway.
(William): delighted Nomad, my name is William. I think you already know Curtis.

The boy, surprised, takes a little time before answering.

(Nomad): yes that's right, nice to see you again.

everyone looks at each other questioningly.

(William): Let me introduce you to the rest of the team.
From left to right: Bhaal, Biakhov, Eurus and Louis.

the young man curtsies and walks towards the stairs.

(Heath): where are you going Nomad ?
(Nomad): I'm going to look for my brother upstairs, he probably didn't hear you.
(Heath): Okay, come on we'll wait for him in the living room.
(Bhaal): Have you been with the two elites for a long time ?
(Heath): yes it's been over 6 years now.
(Biakhov): and the army knows that you are placed here ?
(Heath): yes of course, she doesn't know about you ?
(Curtis): No not really.

the door opens, Nomad and another boy enters the room ...
