The trinkets were swiftly carried away. Maja watched Number 8's retreating figure and let out a small sigh of relief.
With Number 8 on the move, another person was keeping watch, but the big question that remained was whether the person being escorted away was the real Ian or an impostor.
The two men were dead ringers for each other; even Maja could mistake one for the other in dim light, and with Number 8 not getting so well with Ian, the chances of a mix-up were high.
So, as they waited for Sarah to react to the trinkets, they also needed to head over to Rachel's location. It was crucial to stop that car and check out what was inside.
Meanwhile, Bernard was rummaging through the cabinet for fish food to feed the inhabitants of his large aquarium.
The fish scrambled over each other to snatch up the food, and Bernard smiled at the ripples they made on the water's surface.
He turned to someone beside him and inquired, "Has Rachel taken him away?"
"Yes, she has."
"Good. That girl, I've always trusted her to get the job done right. Anyone looking to snoop around will find themselves tied up with her."
Given Rachel's exceptional skills, any confrontation would surely be an ordeal for both sides.
After tossing the last bit of fish food into the aquarium, Bernard gazed out at the sky, "Then we move tonight. That'll make things ready for tomorrow's experiment. I've waited years; I won't delay any longer."
"Understood."
What the so-called "move" entailed, no one knew.
At seven in the evening, Maja received a message from Carol. She had previously hinted to Carol that if she ever wanted to escape it all, she could ask for Maja's help.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
