The ribbon of wet sheen running towards the horizon begged the driver of the Aston Martin to put his Cuban heeled boot through the floor, and he duly obliged

that it was missing – all except for Frere Martin, of
11.
‘What proof?’ Martin was starting to panic
12.
Frere Martin was about to continue his protest,

has the endorsement, even the active support of Martin
14.
A vigorous fire crackled in the grate, the table was submerged beneath a satisfying quantity of cold meats and cheeses, and the aforesaid gentleman, Mr Martin Pinscher, had his legs firmly beneath it, sucking the meat off a chicken drumstick
15.
“Have a minute?” Martin said to the solidly built woman with her gray hair pulled back in a bun behind her head
16.
I’ve got at least a year, here, young man,” she said in a deep and empty voice as she turned towards Martin
17.
“What’s down there?” Martin asked
18.
I …”, she said as she was interrupted by Martin
19.
“What the hell is that?” Martin snapped at her with an incredulous look on his face
20.
She punched away at the thin keyboard, then looked up at Martin and said, “Here’s an outline
21.
Martin came around behind the counter and looked at the screen
22.
Martin was impressed, but how would he gain asylum at the border
23.
Martin suddenly was aware of the whole scheme Sloan was attempting as he looked at the screening visual which stopped at the entrance way to Georgetown
24.
Martin looked away from the monitor at the old lady, who stood with her hands on her desk with, a look of fear in her eyes as he said, “I thought you told me that all you could get was an outline? That was GPS video concept
25.
Just generate a copy of that, now,” Martin said to her as they stood beside each other
26.
Martin looked at the thin disc he had, back to her, and then walked away
27.
Martin now thought he knew where Sloan was headed and how he planned to get there
28.
He had been very cooperative, for an Anglo, Martin thought
29.
Martin explained to him that he was fairly certain his employee had left the area and did he know where he had gone
30.
Alexander was visibly upset at what Martin said and vehemently discounted it
31.
Then Martin had asked if he could contact him while Martin was there, so he did
32.
He had rubbed his face and looked out of his office window and then said to Martin that he was sure Kurt would be back as he said he would
33.
Martin asked if he had any idea where he would go, if he would have left Pittsburgh
34.
He had no clue, but that if he got more information, he would be glad to pass that on to Martin
35.
When Martin left, he felt for sure that Sloan had even fooled his boss
36.
Martin could tell he was devastated and said if Martin found him, that he, Dr
37.
“Sloan’s work was important and no one could just pick up and leave”, he had said as Martin was leaving
38.
He thanked Martin for alerting him
39.
He was impressed with the old man and he had picked up another clue about Sloan’s destination when the old man had said what Martin already knew, that Sloan had talked about Scotland many times
40.
One piece of information Martin found important and that was that Raoul had a sister, Carla, who was engaged to a man in Security
41.
Martin thought maybe she might be willing to tell him something that her brother would not
42.
She asked if she could help him and Martin explained he was looking for Raoul
43.
They sat down in the same front room that Martin had been with her brother
44.
She sipped quietly and smiled at Martin with a hint of shyness
45.
“That’s important information,” Martin answered
46.
Carla then went on to tell Martin that Kurt had been a great help to Raoul when he had first come to Alleghenia
47.
Martin was interested in this information about Maria
48.
As he left, Martin thanked her and said she would get an accommodation when he filed his report to Security
49.
Martin promised he would not tell anyone, except that her help would be in his report
50.
Martin realized that he needed more information to convince Security that his suspicions were valid
51.
Since Security had been alerted to his disappearance, Martin decided to go to their Headquarters before it closed and see if he could get updated data and maps on the Great Allegheny Passage
52.
Martin was impressed with the President, who was adamant that this was “our” resource and no one else would decide how and who would benefit from it
53.
Martin and everyone knew he was referring to the UN
54.
It was the last thing he said that Martin remembered the most
55.
It was turning cold and Martin looked up at the afternoon sky with dark clouds rolling in from the west
56.
Martin pulled out his palm phone and punched information for Security
57.
Martin asked if he could still get an appointment because he needed some maps
58.
Martin was famished and he had time to get to Security for his appointment
59.
He remembered one student saying that the guy who designed that courthouse was considered an American genius, but Martin laughed as he paused and looked at its heavy, ugly walls, before entering the Plaza Cafeteria
60.
“So what?” Martin answered her
61.
“That’s a switch,” Martin countered
62.
We hope to go to Paris next year to continue in our Comparative Societies path,” the girl piped in between her friend and Martin
63.
Martin smiled and said, “That’s funny
64.
” She asked Martin what exactly he needed
65.
Martin went into an explanation of the data that Sloan may have taken and its potential damage to the country
66.
Hillary asked Martin for the exact spelling of Kurt’s name
67.
At that point Martin again stated that he thought that Sloan was going to try and get to Columbia by way of the Allegheny Passage and asked if Security would have a complete video scan of the trail
68.
Martin said both and she punched in her request
69.
While waiting, Martin checked out the walls of the office which were filled with topographical maps and satellite pictures of the area
70.
She let it run and when it stopped, she took the paper, folded the sheets into a book shape, and came over to Martin
71.
She handed Martin the folded hard copy and said, “At bit old fashioned, but here you go, Mr
72.
After two quick tramway rides Martin reached the Center
73.
Martin could tell it was an older screening, maybe even from the archives of the U
74.
The screen went blank and the officer handed Martin a copy of the transmission he had just seen
75.
Martin remembered the first time he saw them in the hallway coming out of Sloan’s room
76.
About a week later, Sloan introduced her when they crossed paths on the front porch as Martin was leaving for school
77.
They talked briefly and Martin knew immediately from her accent that she was Puerto Rican
78.
Martin realized that Maria obviously had a plan for her life, but he needed to get as much information as he could on Sloan and his intentions
79.
As he rode back over to the city from Observatory Hill, Martin realized he needed to communicate with Maria to find out if she might have some collateral information on Sloan
80.
Martin spent a restless night in the apartment trying to think of way to get Maria’s ID so he could contact her
81.
Martin had become close to Jorge his first year at the University because of his scholastic aptitude
82.
Martin knew Jorge would help his star pupil locate Maria because he would realize the threat the defection of Kurt Sloan might mean to the Republic and to his friend, the President
83.
Martin went into the Info Network for Jorge’s number in Nuevo York
84.
It’s the middle of the night, my friend, but I would not have called you unless it was an emergency and this is an emergency, believe me, senor,” Martin said
85.
Martin didn’t go right into his reason for calling as he wanted to relax Jorge because he could tell he was upset at being called at this hour
86.
For the next few minutes Martin talked old times with his professor
87.
They had a commonality of a love for baseball, which was the only sport that Martin had had any success with as a teenager in Jamaica
88.
Martin explained the situation and how potentially dangerous the defection of Sloan with data concerning the security of the Aquifer System may be to Alleghenia and to the Atlantica
89.
” Martin gave it to him
90.
“We met at the house in Greenfield,” Martin said
91.
Martin looked at the white dot left from the vanished picture on the screen
92.
Martin felt certain that Sloan was headed to Scotland and using the old trail, no doubt heading for Columbia
93.
As Martin sat on his bed with light beginning to show through the window, he realized that if Sloan was using the trail to get to Columbia, he would need something of value to give the authorities to gain flight passage
94.
Martin knew how tough Columbia’s security was on transit visas, especially for a citizen and employee of Atlantica
95.
Alert,” the stocky, broad shouldered commander of Security said without looking at Martin
96.
By the way sir, who specifically is this tension with?” Martin asked
97.
“If you will listen to me for a minute, I’ll explain that the water system you just spoke of may be in danger of being compromised by an Anglo employee of Alleghenia, who has left without a Security passport,” Martin said firmly
98.
Sludge looked at Martin and said, “OK, your next stop would be to the Provost Marshal over at the Alleghenia Headquarters on Grant Street
99.
I get citizens in here all the time with all kinds of tales about neighbors, service delivery people, even other Administration personnel, but you, you’re good,” he said smiling that cat smile of his at Martin
100.
“Hate to push my luck, but when will I know?” Martin said as he was about to go through the door
