Thirty minutes later they walked up the front steps of an old, nondescript brownstone in the middle of the block on 12th Street near 2nd Avenue on the lower East Side. They were east of Union Square and Washington Square in a quiet, much older part of the city. The house was made of heavy stone blocks, and the nondescript front door looked heavy enough to stop a tank. There was no nameplate on the door, and Michael saw thick steel bars on both the first and second story windows. With the drapes and sheers on the windows, it was as impossible to see inside, as it would be to get inside.

“The Israeli Consulate is around the corner on 2nd Avenue,” Manny explained as he glanced up and down the street before he rang the doorbell. “They use this place when they don’t want certain visitors to be seen strolling in the official front door.”

Once inside, he led them back to a conference room in the center of the house in what used to be the dining room, away from prying eyes and ears and all the windows. Manny then introduced them to two men who were waiting at the table when they entered the room. “Mike, Leslie, I’d like you to meet Doctor Yuri Chorev and Chief Petty Officer Nathan Schiff.”

They all shook hands and Manny said, “Sit, sit. You’ll find the Israelis are too new at this stuff to stand on formality. The good doctor is a marine geologist specializing in underwater mineral formations and oil deposits, or at least that’s what he does between other things. He did some consulting with the Swedes back before the war, which gives us a good excuse for him to go back up and do some further research. Yuri was in the Israeli Navy. He’s been in the Reserves the last two years.”

“The Navy is not one of our larger services,” he smiled.

“And he’s done a number of ‘special tasks’ for the government from time to time, so I think he understands the unique opportunity we have here,” Manny added.

“Will the Swedes be any trouble?” Michael asked.

“Oh, no. The potential for oil deposits in the Baltic is a very hot topic right now, and even a small expedition to study underwater drilling sites will be welcome. I’ve worked the Baltic before, so we should have more than enough political cover,” Chorev added.

“But not so much that the Nazis, the Russians, the CIA, and whoever the hell else is watching us, won’t know we’re coming?” Michael asked.

“I hope not!” Manny chuckled. “What fun would that be?”

Chorev smiled. “And who knows, we might actually find some oil after all.”

“Even if it’s in the fuel tanks of an old U-boat?” Leslie asked.

“What kind of equipment are you bringing?” Michael asked.

“I have an array of vertical and diagonal sonar that can give us reasonably accurate images of the sea bed,” Chorev answered. “They sense objects or terrain changes of a meter or more. That’s not
