“Great. Now, the Taiwanese delegation.” I check my watch. “They should be here by eleven.”

“Thanks, Andrea, sounds like everything is in hand.”

“Will that be all?”

“For now.”

I’m just going to see Ros. I’ve got my phone.” I wave it in front of her, and notice it needs charging.

Damn. “Can you charge this for me?”

“Yes, Mr. Grey.”

“I’m on my way to Portland.”

“Portland? Please tell me Sawyer is with you.”

“Where’s Ray?”
