each other and Greg takes them to the Baker's house Ayla assumes the woman from the other night was the Baker's wife, but Xander says don't make assumptions The name card outside the door is empty An old woman says they're not here and that they left with bags Xander tries to get inside but there is a security camera They go back home but they feel as if they were followed There's a black car

the hotel Greg tells them Oom Dirk is Lisa se pa They wonder if he is the Baker and if Lisa just met Plank so that her dad could keep an eye on Greg They don't know who Lisa's mom is  There is a knock on the door There is a package for Xander at the door and Greg asks what it is Ayla says he will nd out anyway Xander takes out a Teddy Bear He rips open the bear and there is a 9mm pistol in there He bought it on the Dark Web when they were in Istanbul Drugs, money, and guns are the highlights of the Dark Web He loads the gun HOOFSTUK 51 Time stands still Xander says he was joking Greg is very mad and he walks to his room He gets a note under the door of his room and runs to show Xander The note is from Oom Dirk and says that Greg must meet him in the Palazzo Vecchio Ayla says they will go with him but Xander says no, he gives Greg the pistol Greg doesn't want the pistol so he says Ayla and Xander must stay back and cover him The next day he goes to the meeting spot and the police are there He says a Medusa statue and it's as if Medusa follows them like a shadow (they saw her in the Basilica Cistern) Xander stands behind and has his hand on the gun He sees Oom Dirk who says he has bad news HOOFSTUK 52 Greg asks if Oom Dirk is the Baker Doesn't give time for Dirk to answer He bombards Dirk with questions fi  Dirk tries to grab Greg's arm He says that Greg's mom is worried about him and that's why he came - to check on Greg Plank called Lisa and thats how he knew where they were Mom is safe The bad news is different, Dok Pienaar is dead In the jail showers, they sharpened a toothbrush stabbed him and left him to bleed They tried to kill Greg's dad, but he fought back and is now in the ICU Greg sits on the oor and Oom Dirk gives him water Xander says no don't drink that Oom Dirk says he isn't the Baker and that there is Windpomp Cherrie in the bottle (water) Xander drinks from the bottle HOOFSTUK 53 Greg loses hope and wonders if he should still search for the Baker (will be ght or ee) Xander says he must now ght even harder They think the Baker has disappeared but Xander says the truth will always be revealed and justice will always prevail Greg says Xander doesn’t understand and Greg ghts with Xander and Ayla The David statue holds a little stone as a weapon, Greg thinks the artist did it purposefully to show that thoughts matter more than the body when one is facing danger Snakeheads, Dok is dead, Dad is in ICU, Baker has ed Of course, there are more snakes, they are intertwined Oom Dirk asks where Plank is Greg says Plank had to stay in Istanbul and Dirk is angry - Greg tells him everything Dirk is worried about telling Lisa that Plank is gone fi fl fl fi fi fl  A choice stands before Greg - he must choose between his MOM (go home and be safe) and XANDER (continue to nd the Baker) Xander seems to know what Greg is thinking It’s like playing Russian Roulette - he considers his choice Greg decides that they have come so far - just put in a little bit more effort and they will get there Oom Dirk understands - Plank going missing has altered the plan - he says he will try to nd Plank and nd the Baker HOOFSTUK 54 Ayla ignores him and he apologises for yesterday, Xander says he must leave it Oom Dirk = protection angel Xander still doesn’t trust that he’s not the Baker - Greg says the only chemical he knows is beer Xander has a plan - they will hack the Baker’s webcam They sit at a coffee shop and eat cake Webcam was developed by computer geeks because they were too lazy to get up and check on their coffee The Baker knows they were in his les, so he closed that backdoor, but they still have access to his Webcam They have to rst check if there is one They snap a picture of what the Webcam sees, the Baker isn’t there but they see the background of his house - there is a window, a church close to water outside Xander asks the waiter what this building is - San Giorgio Maggiore in Venesië HOOFSTUK 55 Greg leaves Plank a letter at reception saying where they’re going Dirk knows where they’re going - he overheard them fi fi fi fi fi  He says there are lots of things they can learn from him - so he is coming with Dirk calls them Kubercowboys and they get on with it They are on a train and Greg worries about his dad and Plank Greg wants to sleep but Xander stares at him and asks if he knows who the Baker is Greg says if he is always looking over his shoulder he will see every ghost Xander says Greg must’ve sat in court and thought about revenge - Xander says probably trapping him Greg wonders what this guy is on They stare at each other and Greg looks away rst Nothing can prepare you for Venice - it’s beautiful in the water Station in Piazza San Marco Google Maps shows them the fastest way to get to their accommodation They are sharing the Air BnB Greg and Xander sit by the laptop, Ayla explores, and Dirk does shopping because it was an impulsive decision to join them Now and then they check the Webcam with no luck They go onto a website which allows them to watch a live stream Dirk gives Greg a beer and says that he doesn’t trust Xander He says Xander helps him into the gutter instead of out - he’s helped you abandon Plank - maybe he’s a psycho - he feels it in his liver and gestures to the wrong side Dirk asks who are his suspects and Greg says they have none - and explains that they are using tech Dirk looks through the burnt book - talk about Rian Trollip Dirk thinks it’s suspicious Dirk asks who Greg knows - he thinks the Baker must be someone Greg knows since he knew the other bad guys They make a list of suspects - Prof Kabi (guest speaker, who spoke to Greg about drugs on the day that Tom died) Thomas fi  Lawson (contacts in the army, General Winters bridges can burn but so can people, doesn't feel guilt) André Symington (mom and dad know him, and he is a chemical engineer) Dirk thinks Toman Lawson is the Baker HOOFSTUK 56 They eat but despite the gesselig atmosphere there is tension as if no one trusts each other Mom: "Die ou wat wraak will need, moet twee grafte grawe." - a grave for your victim and one for yourself Greg thinks it could mean that you are getting revenge on two people at the same time Greg remembers Xander got revenge on Dok and his dad, but wonders how Xander got that video from the Baker because Dok would not have sent that video around, therefore the Baker was taking the video If the Baker took the execution he is a target of revenge Greg thinks that maybe Xander is using Ayla to get revenge on the Baker - just like he used him to get to his dad in the last book Xander uses people to get to their parents Greg thinks about this idea He remembers that Ayla's parents work for Doctors Without Borders - maybe Ayla's dad is the Baker because he also has knowledge about viruses and medicine and is not part of Ayla's life HOOFSTUK 57 Ayla is on Rialto Bridge Greg wants to nd her He gets lost on the way there in the small allies He asks people for directions and rushes there (builds tension) Feels sorry and worried for Ayla fi  He nds her and tells her she's in trouble - she doesn't believe him Greg tells her he also didn't see the attack coming Ayla starts to think Greg might be right and Greg asks her about her dad She gets defensive but is worried Greg touches her back Ayla asks what about her mom and Greg mentions the lady on the balcony in Florence She says her parents were always so busy - and Greg says that Xander exploited these weaknesses Ayla is sad because she realises Xander doesn't love her Xander meeting her at the Freedom House-konferensie was on purpose Greg says he feels like a louse - projecting his experience onto Ayla Her world falls apart "Want slange bly slange" Greg hugs her and she is shaking, Greg is reminded of when his life fell apart like that He kisses the side of her head and they kiss "Is that revenge for Jbay" HOOFSTUK 58 The moment is gone - in Jbay, Xander kissed Nicole, Greg's girlfriend at the time - Xander says Greg wasn't man enough for her Xander says he was there to hack his dad's computer not to kiss Nicole Ayla says Greg told her everything - they are putting Xander in checkmate Xander says Greg is wrong fi  Greg says that Xander was glad for Greg to be there to make it less suspicious for Ayla Xander sits in a bundle and breaks down Greg says to Ayla let's go Ayla says Greg went too far and goes to Xander She is very confused and says she doesn't know who to believe She says she doesn't trust either of them and walks away from them Xander says desperately that he wants to help Greg Xander compares himself to Prometheus - all he wanted to do was to bring light to the people - to do so, he had to steal re from the gods, Zeus caught him, tied him up, and sent an eagle to eat his liver (where is soul is), which grows back nightly, every day - regret Xander says he was on a high when he won last time - but when he saw how crushed Greg was - he felt regret and that's why he helps him now He says he didn't realise how dark he could be He lifts his head and says that he is sorry for everything Xander says he loves Ayla Greg says he doesn't believe him - pressing his nger against his chest Greg feels as if he should give up everything He goes back to the house and calls for Dirk and Ayla Ayla sits on Xander's bed - crying - with a laptop next to her - with a picture of her parents open Xander comes in and they sit around the table, drinking wine, all avoiding each other's gaze The trust is completely broken HOOFSTUK 59 Greg wonders about the Baker fi fi  Dirk is contacting his contacts to see if he can dig up dirt on him and possibly nd info about Ayla's dad Greg suspects Andre Time goes by Greg takes a Ritalin Like an athlete in the starting blocks, Greg waits Greg watches a video of the webcam, waiting to see his face, he sees a hand, and he hears the Baker speak for the rst time (accepting wine) Greg sees the Baker's face HOOFSTUK 60 Cease re Greg studies the Baker, his hair is combed back and his hair is the colour of metal, a wax pale skin, thick eyebrows, a prominent nose, and thick wrinkles Greg feels disappointed Something feels familiar about him Baker looks up at the camera and notices a light on the webcam, but Greg has a recording of the video, Baker shuts the computer A hand is on Greg's shoulder, Greg gets a fright, it is Xander It's not Ayla's dad They agree to put their issues aside so that they can nally nd the Baker - there is a cease re Greg tells him he found the Baker They go to sleep Greg tries to recall where he has seen this face before He thinks about Project Coast - Truth and Conciliation - to get the truth out while keeping the identities a secret because they didn't want them to be used by other countries Poisend people by lining clothes with Phosphates which poisoned people through the skin fi fi fi fi fi fi  Greg comes across Vlakplaas sounds like a swear word - Eugene de Kock's farm Putting a plastic bag over someone's head and tying it with a tube Or putting a mask with vaseline on Greg remembers Xander's dad in the video, calling for help The next day Ayla is on Xander's phone for her Freedom-House blog Dirk comes in, and Greg shows him the picture of the Baker Dirk says its Sebastian Stadler - THE BAKER HOOFSTUK 61 They show Dirk the Baker's video Oom Dirk is anxious Years ago he was high on the police's wanted list - but then the les on him went missing Plank might be with him They want to make a War Room - a room with all the printouts and pictures on a wall They go on the Dark Web and Dirk asks if it's evil Uitskotkraal - The Baker se plaas - he killed animals, snakes, meerkats, and birds, and then stuffed them He studied chemistry, medicine and virology His brother studied the same thing The Baker then joined the army - in the military hospital And later on with special projects (coast and nursery rhyme) He killed the farm animals with poison They can't nd his Venice address Taylor Swift has camera tech at concerts to analyse everyone's face to compare with her stalkers They want to do the same thing HOOFSTUK 62 fi fi  They nd facial recognition software They will place the phones in the street and have them record It streams the video to the laptop in the house which will use facial recognition They go and buy some phones with good cameras and prepaid data They add the numbers on each phone The night before they go out into the streets, Greg has a dream that he is back at Lawson Collage and people are bullying him Greg screams and Xander runs in with his gun to help HOOFSTUK 63 They cant put cell phones everywhere so they focus on the area around San Giorgio Maggiore Greg is on the streets and Xander is in the house He gets to the monument of Emmanual 2nd, set up by the Londra Palace Hotel, he can see the church He wonders about Plank The second place that he sits is close to the Ponta della Paglia where he can see the Burg van Sugte Xander lets him know there's no success The fourth power bank is gone and the phone is going to die He leaves the phone in public and goes back to fetch the power bank Xander asks what he's doing back and gets mad They look at the screen and it "matches" using the cell phone that Greg left behind HOOFSTUK 64 They are going to nd the baker and Xander is bringing his gun They tell Ayla that they found the Baker and she must tell Dirk They head off to the promenade by Ponta della Paglia There are lots of masks in Venice so they must be aware fi fi  They pass Cafe Chioggia Greg notices the scary black death mask They go to where Greg left the phone and it's gone The guy at the stall says have you lost your phone and they say yes did you see it And he said yes do you want to buy something Xander says no and the guy says he can't help them but Xander pulls the gun out on the guy The guy tells them that someone took the phone and says he went that way past La Piazza and pointed in the direction of the church He takes out a cap and says please buy it, he swaps Greg's hats and makes out as if it's the most beautiful thing A familiar face stands in the middle of the street looking directly at Greg holding the phone in his hand HOOFSTUK 65 It is Plank, he looks bruised and battered, he has a blue eye, blood on his mouth, and blood on his t-shirt, the same out t he was wearing in Istanbul when he was abused He says lets drink and be merry He smells like sweat and puke Plank says you dropped this and gives them the phone Xander says "Look who arose from the dead" Greg asks if he is okay Plank asks about Lisa and says something is very wrong He then says there's a woman, and they follow him to the Giardini Reali, die Koniklinke Tuine The woman sits on a bench, wearing a long black dress, her face is covered with a mask with a beak, and nely cut wings next to her head, fearful black eyes look back at them (VALKYRIE) The gate slams shut behind them Two built guys stand behind them fi fi  Greg now sees that Plank typed on the phone IT'S A TRAP The lady takes off her mask and gestures for them to come closer More guys appear from the pathways Greg feels darkness coming The woman says Greg Owen it's good to see you, she is "Valkyrie" Xander says they have to stay together Plank says he can't run if they have to run off Plank says the baker wants to kill him The kidnappers say QUIET "Cherish those who seek the truth but beware those who nd it" The Baker stands there - SEBASTIAN STADLER Greg says how he met him at that party SS told Lawson that he had to get Greg to the party Know your enemy - you weren't the intellectual giant - your dad is probably more proud of John Greg says he also saw him in another place - by David Beeld in Florence, the man and woman stood next to him that was the Baker and Valkyrie Greg knows this because he recognises the umbrella handle Valkyrie is the lady that Greg started seeing everywhere, in the court, by vensters - she says she likes to keep an eye on things Plank struggles to stay up straight Xander says oh yea well see how that worked out today Baker says Xander has a big mouth and won't be snarky when he is as hurt as Plank Baker says dark is more exciting than the light - everything that is taboo for other people - suggesting that Greg is similar to him Baker asks Greg what fantasies he has Baker says he doesn't have to say - he has his suspicions To think - all of this is because of your dads - why do we do so much to satisfy them when they are just as messed up as us fi  Xander says they are the only heroes that they have - until you take them Baker asks Xander if he liked the video and that he wouldn't miss seeing the murder for the world Valkyrie asks if Xander wants to know what happens next Xander shakes (anxiety attack) Greg says no and says to Xander "wees net ko" Xander looks for 4 things he can see etc. - remedy for anxiety Ayla and Oom Dirk arrive in a boat in the canal, hands tied and mouths gagged, there are kidnappers behind them Oom Dirk's eyes tear when he sees Plank and he stands behind him like a guardian angel Ayla tries to help Xander Valkyrie says he forgot to tell them something The Baker says one of them has been poisoned (Paraoxon) which one could it be? He lists when they could have been poisoned (he has been on top of them the whole time) Plank has been in a loft Valkyrie says one will die Xander thinks it's him - he wants to kill him like his dad Doc Pienaar and Chris Owen wanted to kill his dad - they called Baker to help and Valkyrie encouraged him Ayla screams through the tape and Greg tells Xander to hold on There is no antidote, but something that can treat it - Atropine Valkyrie takes a syringe out of her coat Greg says give it to Xander Wash the sins off not just the face They needed this meeting to get everything out in the open, ironic that it's in Venice - the idea of puri cation and cleaning HOOFSTUK 66 The Baker says he has a brother - Rian Trollip Xander's head goes up fi fi  Greg says he has also seen Valkyrie in the picture in the newspaper at Trollip's funeral Trollips parents died and he went to live with Stadler (they were cousins but raised as brothers) - they grew up under his dad's heavy hand on the farm in the Vrye Staad This is where he learnt violence Moral exibility, church on Sunday, and beating up farmworkers on Monday, the dad beat the boys too, no mercy Sometimes it didn't stop with the belt - he still has scars and not just on his skin - emotionally scarred - he was abused He learnt about poisons like pesticides on the farm, and he experimented with it He killed animals - Greg says he later killed people Baker says he inherited it from his dad - nothing was enough for him Rian and Sebastian were then involved in Project Coast - Stadler recruited Rian, but the scientists in the company did not know what they were working towards - including Rian - Stadler knew about what was going on Greg says then the notebook was probably his - Stadler thought it was burnt - Greg says Rian probably got it out of the re and kept it at home - the wife probably sent it to Greg after they called Baker says it was probably her - she's an alcoholic and unstable - the Baker says he will pay her a visit Greg tries to say we don't know who sent the book - he regrets bringing it up The Baker thinks her motivation was to get back at the Baker for the death of her husband Rian Project Coast was not enough for Stadler, he wanted more to satisfy his intense fascination for pain Xander looks better but he anticipates the part about his dad fl fi  Stadler says that nature wants chaos, if you leave a house unattended it will crumble, and everything whithers, he wanted to be a part of this After apartheid, Greg assumes everyone wanted Stadler's work Greg's vision goes blank Stadler says he needed to wait for the right opportunity, then he met Valkyrie - a soulmate introduced him to Chris and Dok Pienaar Their company was going under - there was corruption, court cases etc Xander asks about the judge - his dad Then Project Nursey Rhyme came about Xander is looking stronger, his anxiety is leaving him "One person's downfall is another's bene t" It gave Stadler the freedom to discover new things - Rian joined too - Valkyrie, Rian, Doc Pienaar, Chris, Stadler - FIVE of them Rian found out what they were planning - to create a deadly Hemorargiesie virus and u injections - and to then pro t from the vaccine (the rst part, injections etc was Valkyries plan, and pro ting was Stadler's idea) As Xander gets better Greg realises he's been poisoned Valkyrie says he mustn't pass out now he'll miss the story Xander asks what's going on and Greg says he doesn't know - Greg sweats and knows he is going to die as he spits out slime Rian was never really in the loop - when he found out, he wanted to mess up their plans and go to the police Stadler framed him with the pornography, to send him to jail, where the other people would sort him out Stadler says it doesn't matter cuz he is only his cousin Greg starts seeing things blur Because I despise weak people - Rian's murder was violent and horrible - pity Greg's dad's murder didn't work Greg is not doing well fi fi fl fi fi  Oom Dirk is so angry but he can't take off the tape Stadler says your dad's time will come and so will yours Valkyrie asks if Greg wants water or the antidote and she laughs Stadler says you thought you could stop me - the darkness in this world is many snakes that are all intertwined and in a river of blood in the underworld - he says he has connections Greg zones out and Stadler asks if he is listening Stadler lists his connections - if you cut one head two more grow Xander says I'll tell you about chaos, you've probably heard of RANSOMWARE Valkyrie's phone rings - it's the lab saying there's crashes Xander went onto the Baker's system from when they did it earlier on with the webcam - and now with his phone, he locked their entire system with a password - you have to pay a bitcoin ransom, but in this case, Xander requires justice This is where the second part of his plan comes in Doxware HOOFSTUK 67 There is a pain in Greg's muscles Xander says all his data will end up in public (with some important people) this is where Doxware came in Stadler says they won't be able to read it because it is encrypted But Xander responds and says he hacked the encryption - and it's now open Your connections can only cover for you for so long - if things get heated the contacts will turn on him It's good to watch Xander work when you are not on the receiving end of it Xander has everything ready to send The Baker says he is bluf ng Xander says then how do I know about your new research on brain control and CRISPR (inject people with a virus that carries proteins to the brain, able to control their brains) fi  You will do all this on babies so it goes from generation to generation The Baker goes pale Xander is con dent and standing up straight Baker starts to walk off Greg falls to the ground Baker asks what Xander wants - Xander says the guys must throw their guns in the river, and Ayla will take them to the gate The Devil making a deal with the Devil Baker agrees and the guards throw their guns Greg unties Dirk and Xander unties Ayla It rains, Baker opens an umbrella and Valkyrie stands in the rain Greg takes the injection from Valkyrie and says thanks Tannie Xander says he will inject Greg, Plank says I will, and they joke not after the bathroom incident Lewensreddende Antropine is injected Baker says at Coast they injected them with Paraoxin and then they injected them with atropine Greg throws the phone and says he won't be caught out like those people, and now he realises it in the hat Greg says to the Baker he is the sickest person he knows The Baker asks what about your dad - we all stand in front of a nger, we are all messy Even Xander's dad who is supposed to serve the community, buckled in front of Mammon The thunder goes as if the sky is also accusing Stadler Valkyrie's idea to put the tube over his head Xander asks WHY "Because that is how you would've killed your dad, the pig who mistreated you, the man who you hated so much, as violently as you can" - Stadler took out his anger on his father on Xander's dad Xander cries - Stadler smiles ominously fi fi  Baker says there was a beauty to it, and asks if thats all Xander wants to know Xander asks what they did with the body Stadler says they tied him up in bags, put weights on his ankles, and put him in a small aeroplane, by morning they were so far out at sea (his last straw) Xander took out the pistol "This is for my dad" "You pig you pig" Shot him three times (one in the head and two in the heart) HOOFSTUK 68 It's as if the shots go like programming code through Greg's body Xander is exhausted Plank puts his hand on Greg's shoulder and asks how he is (Greg can't nd words) Plank says the same Valkyrie is gone Dirk and Ayla got the boat to take them away They go through the snake-shaped canal Pictures from the last years ash through Greg's mind Greg says sorry to Plank for leaving him in Istanbul, Plank says he owes him a six-pack and a dodgy samosa Lisa says he must dream until his dreams come true, she she is his dream - he is excited to see her Plank thinks they will have the best kids being friends It's turning dark, and they laugh about their time at Lawson and the student life in Stellenbosch Xander asks if he can talk with Greg Xander says he heard them talk about Lawson, and he has something to say, he can take it or lose it - Xander says he is so sorry and refers to feeling guilty like Prometheus, he says he is not his dad and did not deserve it Greg says it over, but Xander says no because Greg's dad is still in prison fi fl  Xander says he has murdered someone and is now just like them If you want to take revenge you must dig two graves He throws the pistol into the canal and washes his hands (blood on his hands) Xander and Ayla's connection is stronger than words Something isn't right, there is a speed boat approaching, Valkyrie They all fall on the deck of the boat (the other boat slammed into them) and people on the land are screaming, they fall into the water Bullets are hitting the water Its Valkyrie Greg tries to swim away and goes to help Dirk "Een is dood in venesie" Dirk is panicking, Greg says he has to stay calm to help him More bullets swerve past Dirk starts choking Greg's head breaks the surface The last shot hits the water where a blood cloud is spreading "Een is dood in venesie" Ayla and Xander are ne, Dirk is ne in his arms, and Greg is ne "Daar was vyf van ons in Venesië" Plank is gone It's strange how time blends, one event blurs into another until there's only memory he remembers of watching divers pull Plank's body out of the water Won't have the coolest naughtiest kids anymore Valkyrie came to revenge the Baker's death Another memory: Dirk's contacts helping them, the SA embassy A newspaper article about a murder in the gardens, no weapon, no suspects A social media frenzy when Xander's dox hits the web fi fi fi  In the rst newspaper article in South Africa, "Greg Owen is dead" - the transponder in Plank's hand identi es him as Greg Owen END Format - wiping a computer clean 3rd person narration Greg Owen sits in the C-Max visitors area, his eyes cold How was the funeral, asks Greg's dad Sad, Greg says everyone was there, except Xander Greg doesn't know what happened to them after Vensie, it's as if that last conversation was a goodbye It's still as if Xander doesn't want to be known Greg feels this immense loss Dad says I wasn't a good dad to you I want to relieve you (VERLOS) from this burden, to come here and see me like this, you shouldn't have any guilty feelings about this, I would've gotten what I deserved anyways Greg says Plank didn't deserve to die Dad agrees, death confronts us with the fact that nothing is permanent, just like we won't understand John's death - we can always be grateful that they touched our lives Greg says he will always come visit because his dad is his dad His dad tears Dirk, Lisa, Mom and Andre wait outside Greg walks into Lisa's arms and they hold each other for a while He is grateful for these people because to survive you don't just need a bulletproof vest you need to be bombproof fi fi
