CHAPTER ONE

John Stanton waited in the corridor, he stood as if frozen, not a muscle moved. He could hear doors closing and people talking as it echoed along the long walls, his eyes darted back and forth gathering information. Westminster annals of time the Palace of Westminster, he had no idea why he had been summoned, direct mouth to ear request bypassing his superiors and associates at MI6. He'd been waiting a while and sat down on the flamboyant Victorian hand carved chair directly outside the British Secretary of State.

He stood for a few seconds nothing said, Hollis looked down averting the commanding gaze Stanton displayed.
