Chapter 5

Inspector Banderas arrived a few minutes early and insisted that Madeleine accompany him in the car.

"We will not be long, Senorita. But we must avoid prying eyes."

Madeleine glanced back anxiously at the Institute. What if Steven came looking for her? "I'll have to hurry, Inspector. It hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for Dr. Faraday and his fiancée. He still wanders away."

The Inspector drove to the end of the circular drive and stopped. "Is this close enough?"

Madeleine laughed. "Absolutely."

Inspector Banderas opened a file and took out a sheaf of papers. "This Institute is a very interesting place. At first, it did not appear to be owned by anyone. I enlisted the aid of someone in our government. He reluctantly revealed that this was a think tank used primarily to engineer technology.

"Since the Muslim terrorist attack against my country's rail system, the government has been investigating alternative methods to fight the war on terrorism. The Institute was asked to participate in this endeavor.

"You were right to suspect Dr. Giliteau." He pulled out several pictures. "I have no idea how he was approved to work on such a project. Although he has never been involved in anything suspect, he maintains contact with several Muslim extremist groups, and his father is related to one of the most infamous terrorists of our age."

"What are we going to do?"

"He is not going to give anything away on an outing with you, and I think it would place you in more danger to accompany him. Can you enlist the aid of Dr. Faraday's fiancée? Perhaps she could accompany you on your shopping expedition. If not, then I will take you shopping myself."

Madeleine laughed at the woebegone expression on his face. Apparently, shopping was not something that interested the Inspector. "I'm sure I can work something out. Will you have someone follow us anyway?"

"Of course. The man could be very dangerous. He's really the only suspect we have, and we'll have to devise a way to force his hand."

"I have an idea. Everyone here is looking for Dr.Faraday's solution to the laser. I could say I found it and wait to see who comes after it."

"Hmm, let's tread carefully. For the present, watch everything you do. Never, are you to be alone with Dr. Giliteau."

"What about the others?"

"The Israeli has nothing incriminating in his past. And Dr. Hanover has been Dr. Faraday's associate for years. They came here together. Incidentally, the American Embassy didn't just throw you to the wolves. They are closely connected to the Institute and aware of everything that transpires."

"So, you're saying I landed in a bunch of techno-spies."

"Essentially, that is correct. And your life has little meaning when compared with their purposes."

"Great. What do I do now?"

"Wait and see. And guard your genius closely. I have a feeling he would not have fared so well had he not lost his mind."

"You mean they'll kill him if he regains his memory."

"Quite probably. For now, they are waiting for his discovery to come to light. You better get back.
