T he President spoke to the chief of staff at the London Embassy, who was eager to please. They spoke in conference, Blake listening.

"You're an old London hand and you're also a lawyer, Frobisher," the President said. "You've looked at the facts in the case. How will it be handled?"

"It's a police matter, Mr. President, because of the drug connection and the fact that the young man who delivered her ran away. Someone got the license number of his car, though--one of the nurses who followed him out."

"So the police will run him down?"

"Absolutely. The license number will lead to the owner's address."

"Then what?"

"There'll be an autopsy, followed by a coroner's inquest. Once that's over, the body will be released."

"Right," Cazalet said. "I've arranged to get Senator Quinn to the U.K. as soon as possible. I'll have Blake Johnson liaise with you on this. The Senator gets our best shot. Anything he wants. If there are any roadblocks with the British police or legal system, use all your Embassy's muscle to overcome them."

"At your command, Mr. President."

"Fine. I know you'll do your best."

"Of course, sir."

Blake cut in. "Hello, Mark, Blake here. I'll notify you when and where Daniel will get in and you can arrange to pick him up."

"I'll do it myself. Leave it with me, Blake."

The line went dead and Cazalet drummed his fingers on the desk, thinking. Finally, he said, "Listen, whatever Frobisher is able to do, he's still at a disadvantage. It's a different country, different police procedures, different legal system."

"So what are you saying?"

"I think we need Charles Ferguson on this."

"I'll speak to him at once."
