               The  military  unit  left  twenty  men  to  comb  the  tunnels,  passageways  and  the

                  Everyone else was loaded into helicopters and ferried back to the carrier

               where  they  waited  for  news.  At  around  nine  thirty  on  that  Friday  evening,
               Broderick, the local FBI Bureau chief, went off to Sausalito with some local
               members of the Marin County Sheriff’s Department. They found Wanda Man
               Song  Hing  in  a  sprawling  house  tucked  away  behind  the  boutiques,  cafés,

               shops and art galleries of Bridgeway, the main street which led down to the
               waterfront with its magnificent view of the San Francisco skyline.
                  They arrested ten other young girls, four brawny men who were obviously

               there  to  protect  the  place,  Mama  Tia,  the  Madame  of  this  particular

               moneyspinner, and several clients, some of whom had reputations to lose.
                  In a further development, agents Nolan and Wood were suspended from duty
               pending serious allegations against them. Only later did Broderick wish he had
               pushed for their arrest and incarceration.

                  Wanda was moved immediately to the Naval hospital. She was in shock, had
               been  badly  beaten,  but,  according  to  the  doctors,  would  soon  recover  her
               physical strength. They would not vouch for her mental state until they had time

               to evaluate her.
                  Both Chi-Chi and Bond were taken down to the ship’s hospital, where Chi-
               Chi’s back was treated for the deep welts made by Brokenclaw’s whip, and
               Bond was X-rayed. Though bruised he had no broken bones. ‘I would suggest
               you take a shower, Captain Bond,’ the doctor said. ‘To be blunt, you stink like

               a  skunk.’  The  animal  fat  Brokenclaw  had  spread  around  his  loins  was  still
