Chapter 17

“Good morning. I am here as substitute structural engineer for the Alice,” Christian Foster said in a heavy accent nobody he spoke to could place. He made certain that his pronunciation sounded exotic without prompting Swedes or Dutch staff, for instance, to assume he was their fellow countryman. It was all part of his deception.

“Let me contact one of the heads at Atlas, sir. One moment,” the pleasant receptionist replied in a very professional manner.

“Uh, no, no,” Foster protested, “not Atlas. I am due at the Alice.”

She rolled her eyes and shrugged coyly, “I’m so sorry, Mister…” and she stole a look at his security card, “…Millerson. I must have heard you wrong,” she smiled. “Forgive me, I am still getting used to all the different accents.”

“Please, don’t feel bad about it. I am a bit of an acquired taste,” he winked.

The receptionist sorted out his appointment and paged the head of the Alice project to meet the new engineer at the cafeteria. “Just over there, Mr. Millerson,” she directed him to the clean windows in the aluminum door frames. “Dr. Blake will meet you in the next few minutes.”
