They got Hearn about twenty minutes after that.

It was another kind of social engineering. Yoshi had gone back to the online booking Hearn had made for his and Kelly’s unused escape flight, and plucked out Hearn’s user login and password, as well as noting the guy’s full name. The odds, Taka said, were heavily in favour of Hearn using the same password much of the time, and so they had sat methodically entering michaelhearn, hearnmichael, mikehearn and a bunch of other variations, plus the password, over and over again, into all the American websites from which Hearn might have bought stuff.

They found details from America twice—what looked like a family home plus a military base from a couple of years ago—and Taka had been about to yell for me to get on the phone and start blagging when Yoshi tried an auction site and a Tokyo address came up.

“Can we be sure it’s the right man?” I asked, leaning over Yoshi’s shoulder.

Taka grinned. “We’ll ask him when we visit.”

Hearn had stuff delivered to an address in Setagaya, west of Shibuya. Taka called up the list of things he’d bought and what items he was watching as they came up. It was an uninspiring selection: military history videos and war films, a lot of old Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris movies, and a couple of pieces of something called survivalist literature.

“It’s about how the United Nations and the Catholic Church and the international Jewish conspiracy are going to attack the United States,” Chanko explained. “The United Nations’ll nuke us before the Vatican army invasion. Then all good Americans will take to the woods like guerrillas to defend freedom.”

“The United Nations is going to do that? Really?”

“Jesus, Taka, shut up.”

“It’s got to be him,” I said. “Right name, right area, right interests, and a right arsehole.”

Under instructions, I kitted myself out as a very demure young woman: crisp white blouse, navy skirt, low-heeled shoes, brown eyes. I was going with Taka and Chanko; Yoshi was staying behind.

“Are you going to be okay on your own?” I asked.

“Yeah. I’m not good at this sort of thing. I’ll see what I can do here. You know, look stuff up, maybe get some sleep.” He swallowed. “Be careful, Kechan.”

“I will.”

“Look after her, won’t you?” He directed the words at Taka, but with a nervous reflex bow towards Chanko. “And…well, be careful.”
