CNR FACTORY
HAN MADE IT from the ceremony to his office without further interruption. He shut the door firmly and took a seat at his desk. In silence, he contemplated the interruption heâd just dealt with. Something had to be done about the interference from Austin and NUMA.
He placed his finger on a scanner built into his desktop. After reading his fingerprint, it confirmed his identity and released the locks on his desk. From the second drawer down, he pulled out a special phone and plugged it into a dedicated jack in the side of his computer.
With a few taps of the keyboard, he initiated an encryption program and then placed a call. A yellow icon appeared on-screen as the initial connection was made. The symbol turned green once the encryption codes were accepted and matched.
âSecure line,â a voice said from the other end.
âSecure line,â Han repeated. âConnect me to the Minister.â
âStand by.â
As he waited, Han loosened his tie, which had begun to feel constricting around his neck. That done, he poured himself a drink and took a large gulp from the glass.
The voice came over the computer speaker. âI have the Minister, sir. Go ahead.â
The line cleared and he was connected to Wen Li at his office in Beijing. âWe have a problem,â Han said. âWe need to call off the operation.â
There was a brief moment of static before Wen Li replied. âWe have problems on several fronts,â Wen admitted, âbut itâs too late for us to turn back. Things have been put in motion that cannot be stopped.â
âWeâre facing risk of imminent exposure,â Han said. âKurt Austin confronted me today regarding a geological anomaly on the bottom of the East China Sea.â
âThat would not surprise me,â Wen said, âexcept that you told me Austin had been eliminated.â
Han had known they were alive since the incident at the casino, but he hadnât reported that information back to Wen. âI was led to believe theyâd been killed in the fire,â he said. âThey must have falsified their deaths and continued to investigate. An amateurish ploy.â
âWhich you seem to have fallen for.â
Han burned with indignation. âMaybe youâre not grasping the magnitude of what Iâve just said. Austin came hereâto my place of businessâhe walked right up to me, only moments after I finished my appearance with the Japanese Prime Minister. That cannot be a coincidence. It means theyâve connected CNR and me to the events in the Serpentâs Jaw. They intend to survey the area. It will lead to the mining site.â
âA bluff,â Wen said.
âHow can you be so sure?â
âBecause theyâve already surveyed it,â Wen explained, âand they found nothing.â
Han was stunned. Apparently, he wasnât the only one keeping information to himself. âHow and when did this occur?â
âYesterday,â Wen replied. âWe detected signals emanating from an ROV. Sonar was intermittent, due to the small size of the submersible, but weâre almost certain that they found the original mining site.â
Han put a hand to his temple and massaged away the growing pain. âHow could this happen? I thought naval units of the PLA had that area locked down.
