Hornet, Bo, and Prosper all talk to the thief lord. Scipio denies being rich. Bo and Prosper come to the conclusion that he has never stolen anything from anyone except from his own house. Scipio has been coming to his own house all these times, when he said he was going on a heist. The gang returns to the Stella feeling betrayed by their leader. They realize they have been stupid to let Victor alone in the theatre, and he might have escaped. Their fears become reality as they find Victor and his turtle gone, with a note that reads, "Pay Attention! This is Victor's Promise. The Hartliebs will not hear anything from me -- not unless I hear about any strange break ins over the next few weeks. See you later. You can count on it. Victor" Victor says that he will not tell anyone that they are here as long as they don't commit any crimes. They prepare for the heist anyways. The night of the heist Prosper wakes up and finds that everyone is gone, including Bo. Furious he goes to the Casa Spavento and finds that everyone is there already. Hornet tells Prosper that Bo followed them here and that she was forced to bring him becuase he threatened to wake everyone up at the Casa. Bo's character has changed after he started living in the Stella, he quickly learns the ways of older people by blackmailing.
