CHAPTER 23

Andy decided to use the comfort of the yacht, and the privacy of his cabin, to use Insights to create a comprehensive review of Vladim’s employees. After firing up his laptop and hooking up to the on board Wi-Fi he logged on. Andy created a new case file, then typed in the name, date, country of birth, passport number and cell phone number for each employee. He didn’t need much of the data, Tomas had provided, as Insights would use various algorithms to sift through multiple databases, find any connections and rate the connections.

With the Martirossian information covered, he moved onto the President’s files, quickly scanned through to pick out key details of the oligarchs and entered them in the same format. Finally, he keyed in the details of Kruputchkin, Chester and Lightfoot, and did the same. There is a link in here somewhere, I just have to find it.

With the data entry complete, Andy hit the Analyse option and the AI started to work its magic, trawling through various back doors into social media sites, banking, phone company, utility and Government databases, before it moved onto the trail of geo-positional data each mobile device leaves in its wake. With no known defence to the software it collected photos and video sessions from each target phone. Insights would identify patterns and flag any deviations from those patterns – it acted like a virus accessing and copying data from everything it came across – nothing could stop it.

Andy knew the analysis would take a few hours to complete so, out of curiosity, he created a new case file and selected the Query Person feature before entering his name, nationality, date of birth and passport number, and while the software did its data collection and correlation on this second case, he decided he’d stretch his legs and get some fresh air to clear his head.

As he reached for the door handle, his cell phone started to ring and vibrate. That’s unusual, few people have my number and these days even fewer would call it, he thought. He looked at the cell phone display and could see the call was from a Washington DC number. He decided to answer the call.

“Hi Andy Flint. How can I help?”

“Mr Flint, it’s Mrs Chester.”

“Hello, Mrs Chester, how are you and …” Andy started in reply.

Before he could add anything further, Mrs Chester cut in, “You said that if I found something, I should call you on this number. Well, I was going through one of Bruce’s suits and found a slip of paper in one of the pockets.”

“Thank you for remembering to call me, now, what made you curious about this slip of paper Mrs Chester?” he asked.

“It says, ‘Amanda. One-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars. Swiss account.’, then there is a string of numbers. I did a bank identification number search using the first six digits and it came up with a private Swiss Bank. I think she has a Swiss Bank account with a big sum of money in it.
