Chapter Thirty Nine End of September

Prime Minister Brumwell receives the message and heads for his office. When the president of the United States calls, you don’t put him off until tomorrow. As requested, the prime minister selects a secure line and dials the White House. The call is forwarded to Janet White, who in turn advises the president that the prime minister is holding on a secure line.

President Egan picks up his phone. “Mr. Prime Minister, how was your dinner?”

“Well, Mr. President, dinner was the usual stuff, but I have to tell you, the Knesset discussion was more than enlightening for a change. However, you don’t call me this late in the day without good reason,” Yaakov says, quickly bringing the subject around to weightier matters. “What’s going on?”

“Well, Yaakov, a certain situation has surfaced that we need to clear up immediately.”

“A certain situation, Bill? Can you be more specific?”

“We identified one of your Dolphin subs off the coast of Iran a couple of weeks ago. We know the submarine placed a covert team inside of Iran.”

Yaakov Brumwell says nothing.
