Alaskan Silver Let Himself Go

  It was the day of the Museum opening, and all were excited.  Pin and Carl thought that they had taken every precaution to guarantee  Edward Mallory’s safety. The one thing they didn’t anticipate, was the mail.

That morning, Edward had received a letter.  A small note that seemed to warn him of a political plot against his Father, and an offer to meet to discuss it.  The curator normally wouldn’t leave, but he was worried about his Dad.

He informed Pin and Carl of his plans for the side trip. Carl’s reaction was that it was an obvious trap.  Edward felt that, while probably true, it was worth the risk.  Pin just began to laugh, he chose another option.

Upon the opening of the museum, there was no curator.  Instead was a sign of a struggle, a note requesting a huge ransom, and a threat to the man’s safety.  Everything the Pick Axe men would have done, only they hadn’t.

Pin reasoned that, if they tried to prevent a kidnapping, the Pick Axe group would keep trying.  If someone beat them to it, offered a ransom, and had a good hide away…  So off went Edward Mallory to Carl’s cabin, to wait until it was safe to let himself go.

Next week find out how the Pick Axe group reacts when Pin continues to interrupt their plans.
