The bloody auction has been postponed twice already due to unforeseen circumstances, which Chloe knows to mean 'Darrow weirdness' and it's only now, finally, after all their work and research and leg work, the auction items have been moved from private and well hidden storage to a more public location.
Public might be overstating it a wee bit, but at least now they know where the damn compass is.
The auction is set for the weekend, Saturday night, and by Tuesday she has both Nate and Coop up to speed on every last detail of their plan. The new storage building is still monitored, but they've done a great deal of recon work and Chloe has no doubt they'll be able to get in and out without much problem. She and Nate have worked more complicated buildings than this and Coop comes with his own set of skills neither of them have.
Of course, that also means she may have to play mediator when Nate inevitably tries to compete with those skills, but she'll worry about that when the time comes.
Three weeks before they're set to break into the storage location, Chloe receives an anonymous letter, telling her she'll never be allowed to use the compass. Since she has no intention of using it, since she's only interested in selling it, she throws the letter away without telling the others about it and forgets about it soon after. No further letters come.
On the Wednesday afternoon before the auction, they're set to meet at her apartment to go through the plan one last time. When it comes down to the moment, she knows there's plenty they're going to have to wing, that's just how these kinds of things work, but she likes knowing there are as few potential issues as possible. And they've planned well, they know their route in, they know where to find the compass, they know their route out. Between the three of them, she's confident they've got this in the bag.
And the payday they're going to get at the end of it will make all the waiting worthwhile.
They wait until after midnight before moving to the location and once they're there, it's Coop Chloe sends to the door first. His skills, after all, come with lock picking tools she's never even seen before. Once inside she knows there's a second door and an alarm they'll have to bypass, but she trusts Nate with that. She's seen him climb higher walls than the one on the other side of this door, after all.
