Chapter 13

The Tip

“That’s where he took a right,” said Jack, pointing to the street leaving the library’s car park.

Max maneuvered the Heli-Drone to fly along the road. Below them was Dublin Castle. They passed over City Hall and the River Liffey below.

Just then, a message lit up on the dashboard’s screen.

A few seconds passed, and then Buddy appeared. It was the first time either Jack or Max had seen him in person. He was as kind and friendly-looking as his voice.

“Hello, agents,” he said. “I’ve isolated the red car. After the public library, the thief headed north of the city and onto the M1.” Jack and Max knew that the M1 was a major highway in Ireland.

“He seems to be headed toward the coast,” said Buddy. “There’s a ‘Map Mate’ in the Heli-Drone, if you need it.”

“Thanks, Buddy,” said Max.

“Anytime,” said Buddy.

Then, Buddy signed off.
