The kitchen was a hive of activity, with breakfast being quickly consumed at a rapid rate, something that military personal were always good at.
When finally everyone had, had his or her fill Max called them together for the briefing, “the way I see it is we only have the following options, we place the two CIA men and the Korean woman under surveillance and we take the Russian foreign minister Yuri Yurchenko here in Washington and squeeze him.”
Max paused to allow everyone to have a few moments to digest his words and then continued. “Hopefully we can trace the Red Mercury device through our surveillance and squeezing Yurchenko may give us some leverage and will also give us the Intel for the Russians to use at their end. Chuck we know where the Korean woman Sun-Yung is, I will need you and Tracy to locate Carter and McFaul so we can place them under our eyes. Any questions or observations?”
Chuck Morris was first in, “Max, the Russian Yurchenko will have diplomatic immunity and you just can’t kidnap him!”
“I understand your concerns Chuck, however he will never know who we are and I will make sure no fall out will come back to your country from this and I am sure the Russian Premier will have him off our hands as soon as we have finished with him.”
Chuck Morris gave Max a smile and said, “everything I have heard about you Max is true, you can be ruthless but also fair. If it is alright with you, I would like to advise The President of the plans?”
Max replied, “I absolutely agree Chuck; advise The President of our tactics, I am sure you can convince him about what we want to do with Yurchenko.”
Chuck replied, “Yes; I am sure he will see the logic and advantages in your judgement Max.”
Max said, “Chuck, any thoughts on how we can locate the two CIA men ASAP?”
“I will need to go back to my office at Langley and use the systems there to review their status, I will also speak to the President from there,” replied Chuck Morris.
“Okay Chuck, how do you propose to transport the Red Mercury?”
“I have a secure and remote location on the outskirts of town, could I utilise Sergeant Cray to come with me and I will take it when I leave?”
Max looked at Sergeant Cray and said, “Sergeant are you happy with that?”
Sergeant Cray replied, “Yes sir.”
Max said, “good, now Roy I want you and Tracy along with two of your team to go to the Hotel, discreetly check on the status of Sun-Yung, and then keep watch on the hotel. I want thirty-minute updates from the location. Has anyone any questions?”
There was a few moments silence before Max said, “Okay then let’s get to it!”
