Terry considered the information he received from Captain Mitchell. He now knew exactly what to expect from the Chinese Agent known as Lin Lee. An attack on the facility at the college was imminent and the personnel involved were in grave danger. Terry’s brief from his superiors was to protect the technology first and the people second. He did not agree with this approach but given the intelligence he had received, he felt confident protection of both commodities was achievable. His first thought had been to intercept Lin Lee at the safe house before she could take any action. The issue with this strategy was failure or success would alert her sponsors to the fact their plan had been compromised. There would be nothing to stop them deploying further agents to disrupt their program. Then there was Lin Lee herself who was clearly highly skilled and highly dangerous. In an uncontrolled environment, the risk of casualties would be unnecessarily high. Knowing her plan of attack would greatly reduce this risk allowing Terry and his team to take control of the situation without her knowledge. In addition to the intelligence, he now had the means to feed information to the Chairman’s syndicate and subsequently to Lin Lee. Agent Mann had been interrogated overnight and agreed to cooperate fully with the security services in exchange for a show of clemency for his betrayal. He informed them he had been having an affair with one of the analysts at their headquarters. He had been meaning to end the relationship to avoid breaking up his family but before he had the opportunity he was approached by a man claiming to know about his indiscretion. The man threatened to tell his wife if he did not pass on information regarding the team’s research. Mann claimed he had no idea to whom the information was being reported, only that it had been going on for the past month. The information he passed on to the blackmailer included names and identities of agents involved, shift patterns of security guards and blueprints from the college archive. It was agreed Mann would continue to pass on information under strict supervision from the security service, meaning they could steer Lin Lee straight into their hands. Terry had already delivered a plan to keep casualties to a minimum. All he needed now was agreement on the timing from the professor. He would have Mann leak back the selected information to his blackmailers knowing this would reach Lin Lee. Once she took the bait he would just reel her in.
