While Jim and Holly had been climbing the pier ladder, followed by Jim’s shooting feat, the main occupant of the limo had placed a call from the car.  It was placed to Canada, to Thunder Bay, Ontario.  Ramirez/Buribi answered and listened as his number one in Los Angeles said, “The deed on the fax has been completed.”

“Both?”

“Yes.  We set a trap.  Last seen going for a swim in their car.  He was already hit by our fire.”

“Doesn’t sound very healthy.  Thank you for the report.”

Without further words, the connection was broken, and Ramirez/Buribi placed a call to Washington, D.C.  His message was almost word-for-word the same as the one he had received.

After he hung up, the man in Washington thought, “I’m surprised Scott walked into their trap so easily.  I wonder if he’s really dead.  I’d be a lot happier if they had his body.”

The more he thought about it, the more he worried.  While a dead Jim Scott would be a wonderful thing, an alerted Jim Scott would be all the more dangerous.

Arriving at that conclusion, he decided not to call off his warning to Baghdad, and hoped that Buribi kept his mouth shut as well.
