"I don't understand it," Alex insisted. "I only got it four years ago I'm sure of it." He was feeling wretched. Both Drevin and his son were staring at him as if this were all his fault, which, he supposed, in a way it was.

"It seems we have no choice in the matter, Alex," Drevin said. He turned to the immigration officer. "Where will you hold him?"

"We have rooms here at the airport, sir. He'll have a TV and a shower. I can assure you he'll be fine."

"Then it seems we'll have to pick you up tomorrow, Alex."

Drevin got up and left the aircraft. Paul and Tamara followed. The assistant had said nothing throughout the discussion. Alex looked out of the window as they got into the limousine. A moment

later they drove away and he found himself alone with the two Americans.

"Do you have any hand luggage?" the immigration man asked.

"No."

"OK. My name's Shulsky, by the way. Ed Shulsky. You'd better come with me."

Alex followed the American down onto the tarmac, the customs official close behind.

There was another car waiting for them and Alex climbed into the back. Shulsky took the front seat. The other man stayed behind.

"Just relax. This won't take long," Shulsky said.

The doors had locked themselves automatically. Feeling far from relaxed, Alex sat back and watched where they were going.

They drove out of the airport, passing through a double barrier and a gate. That already struck him as odd. Hadn't Shulsky just said he was going to have to spend the night at JFK? But it seemed they were heading for Manhattan. The driver joined the traffic on the freeway that led to Brooklyn Bridge, and suddenly Alex found himself looking across the water to the most famous skyline in the world. Even now, even in these circumstances, the view couldn't fail to thrill him, the magnificent arrogance of the skyscrapers packed together on the cramped, chaotic island a monument to power and success and the American way of life.

Alex leant forward. "Where are we going?" he demanded.

"We'll be there soon," Shulsky answered.
