CHAPTER 13

The sun reflecting off the shimmering blue waters of the north Pacific woke Warfield. The captain announced the plane would be on the ground at Tokyo’s Narita Airport in thirty minutes. After sixteen hours on the plane, Warfield was anxious to get out and stretch. Better yet, he’d go for a run if there were time.

He asked a flight attendant for something with caffeine and pulled both of General Antonov’s e-mail messages up on his iPhone. In the first one, Antonov notified him he had new intelligence about their “common interest” and said he would contact him again when he had more information. That message was dated two days before Warfield left Washington to visit Macc in Arizona and he had missed it.

Now it was impossible to think of that trip without a flash of the reason he went. He had fixed everything that could be fixed. His condo mortgage was now in good standing again and he’d paid the other bills for which he’d been irresponsible. He drove to Ticcio’s, owned up to the damage in the men’s room and wrote Ticcio a check for double the repair cost even though Ticcio told him to forget it. And Fleming. Why had she even tolerated him? He’d ignored the lifelines she threw out to him, like everything else. On the evening of his return from Arizona they talked about the darkest episode of his life. He groped around for explanations—as much for himself as for Fleming—and Fleming told him the guy he was trying to explain was passing through and wouldn’t be returning. “So don’t look back any more,” she said. He had felt tears on her cheek that night as they made love for the first time in months.

The next day after that he couldn’t wait to start putting his condo back in shape. Fleming had cleaned the place and he spent his time finally unpacking the Lone Elm boxes and setting up his office. When he got around to checking his e-mail that day he found the two messages from General Antonov. The general said in the second one that he was in Tokyo and Warfield should join him there if he was interested.

If he was interested? Antonov knew something about this Russian who was a threat to humanity and who on a professional level had impacted Warfield’s life. Catching up with this man was almost as important to Warfield as life itself.

As the plane began its final approach to Narita, Warfield reflected on the smaller and simpler American plane that flew over Japan some seventy years ago and introduced weapons of mass destruction to the world. He saluted the Japanese for overcoming the disastrous effects of World War II by way of intelligent economic policies and assistance from the United States. Now, Japan, an island smaller than California but with as much as half the population of the U.S., was a top-tier economic engine and America’s solid ally in that part of the world.

Warfield had e-mailed Antonov his flight schedule and once inside the terminal he heard someone speak his name.
