WHEELING A CART OF MAPS and satellite photos from a Stony Man Center storage room, April heard Mack Bolan's voice. She whirled her head around, her eyes searching for her man. But the words—stripped of warmth and personality by electronic encoding—came from Kurtzman's radio monitor. She ran the length of the corridor to the com-room.

"Is Mack all right?"

Kurtzman nodded, scribbled on a pad. He read back a description. "Japanese, looked older than thirty, between five eleven and six feet tall . . . Wide-shouldered, moon face. . . What else?"

"We heard him speak Spanish to the Cubans," said Bolan's voice. "Encizo said it was basic Spanish punctuated with revolutionary clichés. We think we heard him speaking Arabic with one of them who looked like a Palestinian. . ."

"What about mannerisms? His clothes? Did he have an unusual weapon?"

"Negative. Standard AK. Wore a light-blue summer suit, sport shirt."

"That's a good detail right there. Maybe he's traveling in the United States under a legitimate cover."

"Follow it up. We passed two prisoners on to the Agency. We're hoping to get a name out of them. But they're both low-ranking terrorists. One of them isn't expected to live."

Kurtzman looked at his notes. "Anything else on the Palestinian? Anything that might link him to a group or country? If we can spot an association—"

"Nothing that we saw or heard. The Feds said they'll sift through what's left of the camp at dawn. Langley get anything out of that Mujica?"

"Not yet. He's a tough nut, they said. They're putting him through drug interrogation, but we won't have any details on that until midday. They said it could be weeks before he broke down and—"

"We don't have weeks. The crazies in this conspiracy are out of control. What's the word from Phoenix and Able?"

"Good news. Phoenix is batting one thousand. Three prisoners plus taped communications and captured documents. One prisoner started talking before they could get him on the shuttle jet to Langley. He said they had just received instructions to move into the East River and wait for the right wind conditions—"

"—to spray New York... . " Bolan completed the statement.

"Not the ones on the ship. They were to pick up a squad trained to use the chemicals. The squad would work the machines."

"Bear, Phoenix monitored all their communications, right?"

"For the past twenty-four hours—"

"Get a dupe of that tape, have Ohara listen to it. I want to know if any of the messages—"

"Right, if any of the radio messages came from a Japanese. Will do."

"Apparently the Japanese one is launching the attack," Bolan continued. "The Cuban leader wouldn't issue the order to his soldiers until he got confirmation from 'the Russian.' That's when the Japanese and the Palestinian killed him. I want to know if the order to the freighter came from the Russian or the Japanese. What about Able?"

"They're down. Grimaldi's waiting for their signal in Honduras. He's got a plane ready."

April could not wait any longer. She took the microphone from Kurtzman.
