Max strode into Strayker’s office, “I think I have a connection between Mustapha and Shakira.”

“Give it to me Max,” replied Strayker.

“Records show that both Mustapha and Shakira were seen in Beirut on the same day and in roughly the same area thirteen months ago.”

“Who provided the intelligence on this?”

“Israeli Mossed,” Max replied.

“You have a theory Max.”

“Let me run this by you, what if Shakira and Mustapha were working together! That they had both pooled their resources.”

“Very interesting,” replied Strayker, “you had better read this, it’s the analysis report on the Westminster bridge device, and it arrived this morning.”

Max began reading the report, skipping through the technical jargon and arriving at the summary, as he put the report down, Strayker said, “give me your analysis now.”

“Okay,” replied Max, “we have a bomb, however not like anything that has been seen before!” “It has an ejection system, with a charge to propel a clear polymer globe into the air and is designed to rupture at a selected altitude. Max paused. “The globe was filled with a synthesis mutant strain of Ricin and Lanate, the report also states there is no known antidote and in this form has the potential to cause death on a scale of mass proportions; are you thinking what I am thinking?”

Strayker raised his eyebrow. “What’s that?”

“We need to find Shakira!”

“Exactly my thoughts to,” remarked Strayker.
