Stanton sat alone at his desk. Stunned by what had just occurred. The implications took a moment to clarify in his mind.

Stanton was confident that Dempsey had no way to find him. He had taken every precaution. Phone lines so secure that even the best of Britain’s intelligence lacked the technology to intercept his calls. A state-of-the-art voice modulation unit that only the highest military grade equipment could reverse. And a level of message encryption that made even written communication meaningless to anyone but the intended recipient.

No. Stanton was sure that the call would be the closest Dempsey would ever come to him. But he was still shaken. The loss of control over the situation, although temporary, was unexpected. He had believed no one capable of bringing the fight to his door. Now, according to the voice at the end of the line, that was exactly what Joe Dempsey intended to do.

Stanton thought back to the first time Joshua had mentioned that name. The force of his words: ‘. . . then you don’t know Joe Dempsey!’ Stanton had taken it as panic – an excuse – but perhaps Joshua had been right after all. Perhaps Stanton had underestimated Dempsey. Just the fact that the man had somehow identified Joshua as James Turner suggested that.

It was not a mistake Stanton would repeat.

These thoughts still occupied his mind when his telephone rang again just moments later. For the first time he was unsure that, when he answered, it would be the voice he expected. Still, he reached out and connected as quickly as always.

This time the voice was familiar. It carried a strong Northern Irish accent.

‘You were right, they’re here. The two of them just went inside.’

‘Go in after them.’ Stanton made his decision in an instant. ‘Deal with them, but do it discreetly. I don’t want any more questions.’

He paused for just a moment as he considered his next thought.

‘And one more thing: don’t underestimate him. There’s been enough of that already.’
