Stavrou nodded in approval at the ideas floated, then cleared his throat as he listed the options. "A happenstance robbery might not be a bad approach. Perhaps a sneak thief in his home. Nestori, let's you and I make a note of any valuables in the home when we go to have a look around. If we go that route, we should take a few to lend credence to that. At the same time, we need to be cautious of police in his neighborhood, a dog, servants, that sort of thing."

The Greek took another sip of his wine. "A faked suicide is certainly attractive. We can assault him and pass it off as self-inflicted- something that would be much more difficult if we tried to make it look like an accident. But that'll depend on what he's like when you meet him in person. If he's planning his holidays and joking with his employees, it may not be too believable."

"Or, I suppose we could just openly attack him. If we escape immediately and leave the country, as well as no witnesses, perhaps we might get away with it. If nothing else, ten thousand pounds can buy a little anonymity."
