They"d made a good work of securing the chapel. All that remained, according to Felix, was the second floor viewing area; accessible by the stairway in the ambulatory. This gallery in the north wall offered a bird"s eye view of the chapel and opened, through a door in the wall, to an exterior balcony overlooking the courtyard, stable and countryside to the north.
This door had a hasp and padlock already in place. When Ray borrowed Trevelyan"s screwdriver, and slid it in the lock, Brandy came unglued. “What are you doing?”
“We"re blind here,” Ray explained. “The balcony will give us a vantage point to watch those things.”
“Yes… and give them an entry point. I"ve got the place secure and you want to open a hole in it?”
“If the hasp is intact, we can use the balcony and still secure it.”
