Two Wheeled Chaos
While partaking of his afternoon tea Miles receives a call from one of his former acquaintances, a Professor Hamilton Dickenson. Dickenson is an Oxford professor with a penchant for the Knights Templar. He invites Miles to Washington D.C. to listen to a seminar that is giving about the Knights Templar. In the conversation Professor Dickenson warns Miles that he should come with friends as he believes that someone is following him.
After a pleasant train ride from N.Y. to D.C Miles rents a limo and the group heads towards the seminar. Getting caught in traffic delays their arrival to the hotel where the seminar will be held. As they approach they see Professor Dickenson wave at them. In this left hand he holds a small wooden box. As the car moves towards the curb a motorcycle races by and grabs the box from the Professor! In a burst of speed Mike jumps out after him and Liam guns the engine of the limo. As the car nears the cycle Tommy pushes open the door knocking the rider from his motorcycle. Mike scoops up the man and box then puts them into the back seat of the limo. As he throws in the stunned man and box he spots three motorcycles pull up to the front of the hotel. One of the three large men pulls out a pistol! Liam guns the car while Professor Dickenson runs inside the hotel. While the three riders race after the limo Miles uses his confusion spell to send two into spins. As Liam expertly avoids pedestrians while racing through a city park the third pursuer runs into an open manhole cover sending him sprawling!
As the limo races to safety they decide to interrogate the man on the first motorcycle. After some back and forth conversation the man admits that he is from a modern group of Knights Templar. He was instructed to retrieve the box at any cost. After finishing their conversation the group returns to the hotel to check on Professor Dickenson…
Stay with our valiant Corp as they encounter nefarious villains and travel to foreign lands to try and get to the bottom of this ancient mystery. It will take brains and brawn in spades to deal with all of this danger!
