The Solider Husband

28 December, Military Base, City K & Terrorist Camp, south of City K

Realising that his cousin was worried, David paused took a couple of calming breaths "Apologies. You know my current plans, but I need time given who has fallen into my hands. I have only gotten them to realise that I am in control before I can use those idiots to get what I need to be able to extort money from them."

"But do you not have your agreement?"

"Problem is using that. If I do not have time to formally transfer the rights to me personally, it is likely to be useless. I need the other material which will ensure a long-term income steam particularly if something prevents me from using the agreement."

"I am not going to mess around. There are a few things but adding them together they give me concerns. Firstly, General Man has left the hospital twice, against medical advice to consult with the Police Liaison Officer. I dismissed that initially as being an issue as he is a wealthy dilettante and was at that same function that you kidnapped them after. I thought it was simply about creating the cover story for his disappearance."

"Plausible."

"It seemed logical, but adding it to a couple of other things, no. My team is drilling through the false information quicker than we hoped. They have a conclusion that it was false information. We both know that, but usually they are not that quick to determine it is a false lead. We need something to buy some additional time, and I cannot come up with that."

"Leave that with me, I will get a couple of people to drop hints to sources, so we can cover that."

"That is not the worst thing. There is a special forces mission under way. National headquarters are telling me nothing and that I do not have to worry about it, but there are currently no foreign threats that need addressing, and nothing exists within the normal intelligence systems that says that there should be something underway…"

"Your conclusion is they have already found out about us having Colonel Rong and are planning a mission. How in the f*ck do they know…"? After a pause of a few seconds "The Police Liaison Officer. Damn they have used the police to keep you out of the loop. It should be in the hands of the military, not them."

"You reached the same conclusion as I did as quick as I did. Each thing alone adds up to little, but it does indicate higher up military authorities know something and are willing to act quickly. But that interests me, why? Everything I can access says that he has had for years administrative posts. Yes some intelligence work, but that has not been his focus. That does not justify acting as quickly as this."

"Your conclusions?"

"He has been more operational than administrative, and knows something that they want to secure as quickly as possible. That causes you problems. But, if they have a rescue mission in play, I suspect they have a reasonable fix on your location. Most likely it is not nailed down, but they have enough to know where to attack. My betting, particularly if it is the elite team seven from the capital is that you do not have even until the morning to get away."

"Damn, I needed a couple of more days before I can ditch this lot with everything I need. That is not a problem. I will get out of here tonight with those I trust, and let you know when I am safe. I will have to play businessman for a few weeks or a month or so, before moving onto the next group in depth."

"Just call me using the public system. While not widely publicised, my records have David Hwang, a cousin, listed in my early years as a next of kin, and then dropping off. It should not be too hard to connect you and me for anyone who investigates. But, the benefit is that we can have face to face meetings and make the information public when we want to. No hiding, and the benefit will be lessening the risk of our final plans being leaked to anyone."

"Will do." The two of them ended the call, and Major Hung crushed the sim card. Thank goodness David was using his public face for a few weeks as he was down in sim cards, and that supply needed to be replenished carefully for over a few weeks to allow them to move into the final phase of their plans.

The Devil, called in his chief minion before saying "We need to be ready at a moment's notice to activate our bug out plan. Get the electronic data, separating out the Colonel and Miss Yao from everyone else, and package it for us to take. I will deal with the ideologs out there, so when we bug out those who know little can be used as cannon fodder to protect our retreat and those who we need killed we can do on evacuation ourselves."
