    clicked open. He pushed the door open a crack and paused. “Hurry!” Jessica whispered edgily from behind him. “Hang on, I just want to make sure it’s clear.” Very slowly he nudged his head out of the opening and looked around. The courtyard stood silent, the central fountain turned was turned off and the normally crowded space was totally devoid of people as far as he could tell. “How’s it look?’ Jessica asked. “Looks empty.
