Three weeks later

New York, New York

The phone rang three times before Ambassador Hansen could rouse himself from his sleep to answer it. “Hello,” he said, as he checked his alarm clock. It was just after eleven.

“Mr. Ambassador,” said Decker, “I’m sorry to disturb you, but I’ve just heard that about thirty minutes ago, at 5:30 A.M. Israeli time, there were an undisclosed number of nuclear explosions in Israel.”

The sleep suddenly rushed from Hansen’s brain as his eyes opened wide. “The Russians?” he asked.

“Reports are very sketchy so far. It’s not clear who’s responsible, and there have been no official statements from the Russians.”

“Decker, is there any chance there’s been a mistake?”

“No, sir. I don’t think so. The detonations were detected by U.S., U.K., and Chinese satellites. To make things worse, the explosions were followed by a major earthquake along the Dead Sea Rift.”

“Okay, hold on a second while I switch on the telly.” A moment later Decker heard the sound of Hansen’s television through the phone. “Okay, I’m back,” Hansen said, but he and Decker stayed silent as each listened to the report just being read.

“Fox News has just learned that the United States has scrambled Strategic Command bombers. The State Department has emphasized that this is only a precautionary measure and that STRATCOM has been ordered to remain in U.S. air space pending further orders.”

“What the devil is going on?” Hansen asked.

“I don’t know, sir,” Decker answered, stating the obvious.

“Do you have the Russian ambassador’s phone number?”

“I have Ambassador Kruszkegin’s number right here, sir,” Decker said. He relayed it to Hansen.

“Okay,” Hansen said. “I’ll call Kruszkegin. You call Jackie, Peter, and Jack and have everyone get to the office ASAP.”
