Bank Holiday Vault
Cases unlock in order, like levels. This is case 113 of 200.
A safe deposit building in London's jewellery quarter, Tuesday after Easter, 8 am. The manager went down to the basement to open up and found three round holes in the vault wall.
On the other side of the wall, seventy-three deposit boxes broken open and emptied. Jewellery, loose stones, gold and cash, worth an amount nobody can say for sure. The armoured vault door is still locked, without a scratch.
The building stayed shut from Thursday night until today. There is no sign of forced entry at the street door, and the holiday guard swears he opened it for no one.
Three people know this building from the inside. One of them spent the holiday down here.
A narrow basement corridor with an open steel gate, a stalled elevator and the client ledger.
