CHAPTER 50

NODA yelled, “Move, move, now!”

Before I could respond, short, muscular bursts at the small of our backs shoved both the Marine and myself into the guardhouse. The chief detective charged in behind, pressing us forward, then slamming the door shut and twisting the lock home.

When I turned to peer through the window, I saw the Japanese police less than three feet away, disappointment on their faces. They’d been ordered to sweep us up but Noda had been faster. The three of us were sealed in the booth. The police settled for a containment maneuver. Time was on their side.

The ambassador was nowhere in sight.

I frowned at Noda. “We’re going to pay for this later, aren’t we?”

His scar flaring, the head detective grunted.

Too late I recalled my first impression of Gerald Thornton-Cummings at the airport. Young, eager, well connected, prep school polish, diplomatic fast track. Soft skin. Manicured hands. A desk man. No field savvy.

And I remember also thinking he could get a person killed.

It might still happen.
