"So, he turns to loyal fan Jerry Scott. Who's only happy to donate some to The Cause." LeGrasse concluded.
Ramirez looked at the outlines to try and see if he could recognize the guns that had been removed from the walls.
"Sturmgewehr 44." He told them. "Considered the first real assault rifle. They were only issued to SS officers in the paratroops. An old widow turned one in at a gun buyback. A collector spotted it for what it was, returned it to her, and told her that the only way her husband could have brought one home would have been if he'd killed an officer and taken it off the body himself. And that it was worth at least thirty-thousand American dollars."
"Yes, some historic pieces." Luc agreed. "But if Dietz came here to arm himself and his men, he only took a few of the vintage weapons and went for the more modern." Luc pointed out the outline of a Luger Parabellum P08. "The murder weapon was a Luger, no?" LeGrasse confirmed Forensics' findings. "And note the distinctive shape of an Uzi also missing."
"That's where Scott's sense of irony ended." LeGrasse offered, pointing at it. "Israeli weapon; Uziel Gai was Jewish."
Luc nodded agreement, then turned his attention to the large floor safe that had been left ajar for him.
"We now know that Dietz is not just armed, he's as well-equipped as he could get. And then there's this." He bent down and opened the safe the rest of the way. His eyes widened at what he saw. He dragged the large wooden box with American military markings out by one of the two ropes that flanked either side and opened it.
"That is what the bomb tech said would be there, correct?" LeGrasse asked.
"Oui." Luc replied. "It says so on the box. He neglected to tell us that most of the contents were missing."
"Those come in boxes of twenty-seven," Ramirez informed the two. "The bottom layer is full, that's nine. Three on top of the nine for a total of twelve. One on the safe leaves fourteen unaccounted for!"
"He HAS to have had it smuggled!" Luc said as he stood. "The box may not have been full when he acquired it. We know he used one on the safe itself. Maybe traded a block or two for something like the Sturmgewehr. Whether he gave Dietz any or not; and we have no reason to assume he didn't part with at least some of his, what's left is enough to destroy a good portion of the block. We've only found the one detonator, but Scott could easily have made more!"
The three of them stared down at the wooden crate.
"Non." LeGrasse agreed. "San Finzione has not experienced a bombing campaign since the War. And then it was our own, against Schell. Now, we are a Tourist Nation. Except for the Nessuno Family, almost everyone is an innocent victim waiting to happen!"
"And now Dietz may have enough to start one." Ramirez said, taking out his phone and getting no signal in the underground room. "I must alert La Contessa at once!"
Luc closed the box and they followed him to find a signal. Because they knew what they'd find, but the label on the box meant that all three men had important calls to make. Leaving the room with the partial box that read "C-4, 27 Kilos."
