Today’s excerpt is from Dead
Silent Calm, the Book #7 of the nine-book Janitors series. The two old spies trick their Chinese hosts
so Boris can go speak with someone from an old network of spies he had in
China. Enjoy and have a fantastic day.
m.j.
At 6:00 sharp
they were met at their door and escorted down to the very nice hotel
restaurant, where they enjoyed a fine meal.
At the conclusion of the meal, Boris looked at the man who seemed to be
heading the host team. “I wonder if it
would be possible for you to arrange two bicycles for us? My old feet no longer appreciate long walks,
and I’ve gotten in the habit of taking a nice long ride after my evening meal.”
Caught totally
off-guard by the request, the man thought a few moments, then replied. “Of course.
Perhaps two of my men should accompany you on your ride so you don’t get
lost.”
Boris and Drew
had discussed their plan long before getting on the plane to Beijing
Soon Boris, Drew
and their two “keepers” were cycling away.
Boris more or less led the way, seemingly cycling away aimlessly, but in
reality looking for a concentration of heavy foot and cycle traffic. When he saw what he was looking for he headed
into a mass of humanity and soon managed to “accidentally” separate himself
from the others.
On the pretense
of looking for the now “lost” Boris, Drew managed to impede both “keepers” and
grinned inwardly at their panic at having lost one of their charges.
Convinced he’d
lost the others, Boris turned down an alley he knew well and was soon on his
way to the first of his old contacts.
