CHAPTER 64

We hit the deck.

When Dad tells us to duck, we don’t ask questions!

The second we were sprawled on the floor, about three dozen Russian politsiya officers in SWAT team combat gear stormed into the room, their weapons already trained on Zolin’s six armed guards.

Because a few seconds ago, Dad had alerted them to how many bad guys were in the room!

Uncle Timothy ran toward the open window. Quick-thinking Mom pressed a button on her watch and a thin cable slithered out. She whipped it around his legs before he could jump through the window and escape! With a thud, Uncle T face-planted on the floor; three soldiers instantly surrounded him.

“Hands up!” shouted the woman leading the charge. “All of you!”

Okay, you’re not going to believe this. The top cop? It was Larissa Bukova! That’s right. Our former tutor and extremely chatty tour guide. Only now she was dressed in a police uniform and bulletproof vest.
