‘The government are starting to take notice of the beacons sir,’ Mrs Harriet says as she sits down across from her boss.

Mr Conway smells his Cuban cigar as he watches over its brim and locks eyes with the beautiful Mrs Harriet.

‘What sort of damage are we looking at?’ he asks

‘None, they don’t know anything substantial. They just know something is going on. Apparently the White House thinks it’s a virus. They first believed it was natural and issued an advisory to the World Health Organisation, but when WHO got back to them, they realised that no virus in the history of mankind can in their words “Combust a Human”. So now they think it’s a terrorist plot, much like Anthrax or smallpox,’ she says

‘Terrorists?’

She nods her head

‘I’m afraid so sir’

Mr Conway gets up from his chair and turns around to ogle his marine life in his aquarium styled walls. He strokes the glass as one of his small Hammerhead sharks passes by.

‘That’s the thing with the government. You stick them in a corner and all they do is blame someone else. I find it hard to believe the arrogance of these men and women of the state. How can they not see it? How can they not smell it?’

‘Smell what sir?’ asks Mrs Harriet

‘The blood in the water. You see Mrs Harriet, when there is blood in the water, a shark can smell it from miles away. Most Humans can’t smell shit on their shoe, but the almighty US government? Hell, they pride themselves on being able to sniff out an enemy attack. It’s just painful to know that my efforts are yet unknown’

‘They will know sir. The whole world will know, in time,’ Mrs Harriet says

‘Yes they will. For the time being, get the men stationed. It seems as if it’s time to show our hand’

Mrs Harriet gets up and salutes her boss who remains fixated on his pet shark.

‘Will do sir’

She walks out of the marina office and leaves her boss alone with his thoughts.
