Two hours later, Ethan knocked gently on the door. He carried Herbert’s report in the other hand. After a short delay, Ryan opened for him looking like he had just woken from a deep sleep.

“Jet lag,” he offered as an excuse.

“Sorry, my Lord, but a message just arrived from Herbert and I knew it couldn’t wait.”

“Ethan, when we are alone you can call me Ryan,”

“Yes, my Lord.”

“Can we get some coffee?”

“Just pull on that,” he pointed to a chord hanging by the bed.

“What does Herbert say?”

“It is worse than we thought.”

Ryan assumed this is how the President felt when his National Security Advisor disturbed him in the middle of the night to inform of a crisis.

A servant appeared at the door.

“Can we get coffee for two, please?”

He was gone with a bow.

“You were saying.”

“They have identified the group responsible for your Grandmother’s murder,” he announced.

Ryan was now fully awake.

Ethan continued, “It is a highly secretive entity known only as the Consortium. The members are bankers, industrialists, financiers and high wealth investors. They all share three traits: they are rich, conservative and extremely ambitious. They make the Tea Party Republicans look like a church choir from Brooklyn. Many belong to the Bilderberg Club, but that seems to have served more as a form of introduction rather than a prerequisite for membership. They embrace an extreme philosophy based on a deep anger with what they see as the incompetence of governments around the world. They feel that the global economy would be far more profitable if only they were in charge. Twelve years ago, they began to develop a blueprint to take it over. After Professor Sonkin tapped into your Grandmother’s trading activities and started his investment report, they contacted him and offered a lucrative contract if he could prolong the recession for a defined period. Sonkin thought he could deliver. That is until the Gods called your Grandmother to a meeting. The professor didn’t understand why but he knew if she went to Africa, his plan would fail. They killed her not knowing that you were waiting in the wings. They, like many of our enemies, thought that you were dead and there would be no one to continue her work.”

“Do we know their names?”

“Not yet. Our investigators are working on it. They have some leads but the members are very secretive. They never meet as a group. Most of the leadership is based in London and Hong Kong. Herbert expects to have more information when he arrives in two days.”

“Thank you Ethan. Let’s get together with Zach and Tony. I’ve been thinking about some changes and with things getting complicated, we need to get them up to speed. How is Zach doing anyway?”

“His loyalty to you knows no bounds,” he assured the Pharaoh. “He is clever in his own way and strong.”

Ryan detected a note of pride, even affection, in Ethan’s thoughts when they spoke of Zach. He wondered if they were getting close.

The four of them gathered in Chief Mbaye’s library for some refreshments before dinner.
