THE BAD GUYS Santo spoke real fast in Italian. Then he and Luca got excited and raised their voices. They waved their hands about like they were having an argument. I couldn't wait to learn Italian. Then Santo got out his cell and made a call. Then he made another call. Charlie and me glanced at each other. I knew we were thinking the same thing. We were going to burst before they told us what was going on. Finally, Santo got off the phone and switched to English. Real serious, he said to the three of us, "The agency that employs casual staff for the film set hired two new workers two weeks ago. They help with the props and sets." He sighed. "The successful art robbery that occurred at the other palace was in every newspaper and in all the media across Europe. All police forces across Europe have been put on alert for a copycat robbery. It's possible ..." "Where next?" asked Luca. Santo pointed back up the canal. "To the film set; we'll check the tubes ourselves." Luca revved the boat, spun it round and took off.
