CHAPTER FIFTEEN
MALMO, SWEDEN
Present Day
Caine exited the Ãresund Bridge and vanished into the shadows just before the Swedish police arrived. He turned the bike down a narrow alley, avoiding the main roads. Heâd escaped arrest, but he had lost the thief and the briefcase. Before he could resume pursuit, he required a less conspicuous vehicle. The stolen Danish police motorcycle would certainly stand out in Sweden.
He rumbled along the backstreets until he discovered a Honda Fireblade motorcycle parked outside a modern apartment block. Caine waited in the shadows. He turned the police bike's headlamp off but kept the engine idling.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the parking garage gate rattled open, moving along a motorized track. A man exited the garage, driving a dark-gray sedan, and drove off into the night. Caine revved the throttle and sped inside the garage just as the gate closed behind him.
Once inside, he maneuvered into the darkest part of the garage he could find and killed the engine. He waited a few minutes, but no one else entered the dark, cavernous structure. Caine dismounted, wiped down the bike to eliminate prints, then approached a battered white pickup truck parked nearby. Searching the open rear bed, he found a large, rusted toolbox beneath a tarp near the wheel well. He rummaged around inside, grabbed a small screwdriver, then darted down a dim alley behind the truck. Within seconds, he was back on the streets.
As he walked, Caine removed the policemanâs Glock from his waistband and checked the magazine. To his surprise, the weapon was loaded with rubber bullets, nonlethal rounds used for crowd control.
Caine tucked the weapon into his belt, keeping his SIG Sauer nestled against his spine. Then he pulled his cell phone from his front pocket and called Yan.
âFor months, I donât hear a word from you,â she said, answering without even saying hello. âNow, you wonât stop calling.â
âPeople will start to talk,â Caine said with a grin. He heard other voices chattering in the background, speaking Chinese. It sounded like Yan was busy.
âPlease,â she snapped. âI have a lot on my plate here. Letâs not waste time.â
âI have a problem,â Caine responded.
âWhy am I not surprised? And why arenât you calling your operations officer?â
Fletcher, Caine thought. Yan had a point. That was standard protocol.
âLetâs just say after our last conversation, Iâm not sure how reliable Emily Fletcherâs intel is. Or her judgement.â
âIâm not sure youâre one to talk,â Yan snapped.
âThere was an incident on the Ãresund Bridge,â he continued, ignoring her jibe.
âYes, I saw. Itâs all over the news. The Danish police donât have any clear footage of your face. But youâll be lucky to escape the Nordic countries without being arrested.â
âThatâs not why I called.â
âLet me guess,â the woman continued. âYou want to know where the Chinese operative is. The man on the motorcycle who took the briefcase.â
âYeah. How did you know?â
âIâm watching you on the NRO channel,â Jezebel Yan said, referring to the National Reconnaissance Office who ran Americaâs network of spy satellites.
