Chapter 12
Salt Lake City – December
Lee Wang was worried. He had just said goodbye to his best friend Carlos that morning when he received a phone call from another friend he hadn’t seen or heard from since training on Chongming Island nearly 30 years earlier. His cell phone rang about an hour after Carlos had left, and Carlos was his only American friend who he thought he could trust to ask for help.
“Mao Jong, why are you calling me, and how did you get my number?” Lee Wang stated rapidly in Chinese into the phone while looking around to see if anybody was listening to him.
“Lee Wang, I live on your old street three doors down from your first house in Cupertino where you lived many years ago. I found out from your neighbor, Mo Sing, that you are in Utah. Remember, you called him a couple of years ago saying that you were on your way to a secret observatory in Utah and you wanted to know if anybody had received any mail for you from the boss?”
“Yes, I remember that call,” Lee Wang replied, still confused.
“Well, Mo Sing saw your caller ID on his cell phone and wrote it down to remember. When I moved in, I asked him who he had seen from the island and he mentioned you. I asked him for your contact number and he gave it to me. I wanted to phone you, but then remembered the rules about communicating with each other and the penalty of being returned to China, so I didn’t until today.”
“So?” questioned Lee.
“Mo Sing and his wife and two sons are all dead, so is your old Chinese neighbor, Dong Tung and his whole family,” continued Mao Jong in rapid Chinese. “They all died in a fire last night when three houses burned down. The police think the fire was too powerful to be an accident and told reporters that they suspect somebody is starting fires.”
“I’m very sorry to hear this bad news about our friends,” replied Lee. “But I don’t understand what this has to do with me?”
“They are not the first,” replied Mao Jong, Lee hearing the worry in his voice. “I have heard from others that a dozen people who live here in America and were trained in Chongming Island have died in accidents in the last month alone. Two are friends I trained with and lived in San Diego. Do you remember Ju Ma?”
“Yes.”
“He also died last week in Washington, D.C. in a house fire, and it was on the news yesterday that the four dead bodies had been shot first through the head, execution style. Also another person I know was killed in Seattle nearly a week ago, again a house fire and three dead bodies with gunshots in the head. The police still don’t know that they were also Chinese people, but I knew him on Chongming Island. He was my neighbor and we had communicated. Now they are looking for me.
