Grant was a soft-spoken young man with a thin moustache which gave him a

wimpish look, but was not really meant to fool anybody. He was as sharp as a
sliver of glass and wasted no time on any preamble.
‘There is the possibility, of course, that the young woman we have in the
James Bond OO7 - printing disabled might not be the real Jenny Mo. But if she is, she was born a US James Bond OO7 - printing disabled

citizen and seems to have lived and worked in New York until a couple of
years ago, then she turned up in the San Francisco area. There is evidence that
she is a whizz with figures and dealt with various club and restaurant accounts
which, in some cases, have traces of Brokenclaw Lee’s ownership. I have

people checking on all of this, because if she is genuine it is quite possible that
you’ll come up against people who knew her here, and none of us consider this
an amusing prospect. Make no mistake about it, Lee is totally ruthless. If she is
the real Jenny Mo, you’ll be blown in about ten seconds flat.’

‘Depends on what instructions you get.’ M was in his most uncompromising

to whittle down the possibilities?’
‘On whether Jenny Mo is Jenny Mo? Difficult to say. Twenty-four hours
probably.’
‘Then it could be too late.’ M looked towards his Chief of Staff. ‘You’re

running this operation, Tanner. What’s our deadline on Captain Bond and Ms

Chi-Ho?’
‘I want them apparently coming off JAL 06 at Kennedy tomorrow night, sir,
which means eleven thirty Eastern time, eight thirty to us. It’s not safe to leave

it any later than that.’
‘Do we maintain contact with Commander Rushia?’
‘We’re working on some kind of link, sir, but it could be tenuous. Q
Branch’ve provided homers for James and Ms Chi-Ho, with a receiving unit

for Commander Rushia. We have to work out details of direct contact between
James Bond OO7 - printing disabled James Bond OO7 - printing disabled James Bond OO7 - printing disabled James Bond OO7 - printing disabled James Bond OO7 - printing disabled
Rushia and us.’ He paused, his brow furrowed. ‘I’d really like some kind of
doomsday link between James and/or Chi-Chi and Rushia as well.’
‘See that girl – what’s-her-name? The one the Armourer sent over.’
