He's following a lead hoping to reacquire his stolen egg when he

with doe-like eyes.

anything to find it, including destroying Dimitri's life. Can Dimitri

Excerpt:
A loud
crash and the shattering of glass thundered through the room. Elise
wrapped her arms around Dimitri's waist and pressed herself to him.
Her shoulders tensed.
"What
was that?" he asked, lowering his voice to a whisper.
More
glass shattered, and footsteps thudded below.
"I
think someone just broke into the museum." Elise bolted from his
arms and lunged for her phone.
"What
are you doing?"
"Dad
always told me to call nine-one-one first, then call him."
"What
is nine-one-one? Your emergency response?"
"Yes."
Elise paused, then said into the phone, "This is five-thirty
Main Street. Someone has broken into the Heritage Museum. They're
still there."
Dimitri
fisted his hands. He couldn't let the intruders find Elise in the
apartment. He had to go down there. He bolted for the door.
"Dimitri,
what are you doing?"
He
ignored her, flung open the door, and raced down the stairs. His
footsteps rang in his ears as he dashed through the hallway, entering
the museum through the back, then ran into the main display room. Two
men dressed in black with ski masks over their faces looked up at
him. Dark shadows from the outside street lamp filled the main room.
"Stop!"
Dimitri yelled in Russian, letting his eyes get used to the low
light.
They
froze, caught off guard by Dimitri's voice.
