"You said you have data for us," Mike said when the President and most of his party had left.

"We've got a partial layout for the streets," Parais said, sliding over a DVD. "Also some data on the building but not the interior. I had an intel crew sweep for computer noise and there wasn't any. However, we know there is at least one computer in the building from information on the street. So ..."

"It's shielded," Vanner said, sighing. "Which means they know how important this place is."

"There are at least twenty guards on duty at all times in and around the building," Parais continued. "And there are more than sixty working for the same clan in the area. All of them will come swarming at the first sign of a firefight. In addition, if it's apparent that it's not the regular authorities, such as they are, or another clan attacking, the other clans are likely to pile in. I'm not sure about reaction times, but you're looking at Mogadishu if it drops in the pot."

"We need more intel," Mike said, shrugging. "We need interiors. We need to know where the DVDs are. We need to know where Natalya is. We can't even be sure she's still there. What about a ground-pen sweep?"

"There aren't any tasked for that area at the moment," Pierson said. "I checked."

"Bob, the President just made a special effort to stop by," Mike said with a sigh. "Retask."

"That's not a simple action, Mike," Pierson argued. "I can't just pick up the phone and ..."

"Yes, you can," Mike said, his face hard. "You pick up the phone, call your boss and say 'Hi, I need a ground penetration satellite retasked. Why? It's compartmentalized. But the President asked.' Do you really think he's going to ask the President if he really asked? And if he does, do you think the President won't back it? Hell, Bob, I shouldn't have even had to ask. We should already have the data."

"I'll see what I can do," Pierson replied with a sigh.

"I'll get it retasked," Parais said. "Easier and less questions if I order it. And you're right, this is a presidential directive mission. That's easily a high enough priority."

"Preferably, we need people inside," Mike added, looking thoughtful.

"Dracul?" Vanner asked.

"Not if there are that many guards," Mike said, shaking his head. "The lack of intel is what's getting me. But I'm not sure how to get someone in the club."

"We can get a girl in," Carlson-Smith noted. "The data from Rozaje included some internal e-mails of the clan. Girls go to Lunari from all over. All we have to do is pull a car up with the right words, drop the girl off and leave. The driver doesn't even have to be Albanian. Of course, that leaves her in a very bad spot. I'm not sure MI-6 has a female agent who would take that mission. Lunari is nearly as bad as Rozaje."

"That's not an issue," Mike said, distantly. "I've got one. I just can't figure out how to get the intel out.
