  ‘I’m just leaving, important business to attend to tonight,’ Bill said.

  Kyle shook Bill’s hand. Bill tossed the newspaper on the bed and winked at Nancy.

  ‘I’ll leave you two love birds to it.’

  ‘See you later,’ Kyle said.

  Nancy picked up the newspaper and read the headline.

  China has today blamed America for inserting a computer virus into their defence system computer software. They claim that their entire system ground to a halt during the American fleet exercises in the South China seas yesterday as tensions rise over China’s claim for territorial rights over a group of strategic Japanese islands.

  They further claim that this is the second attempt to compromise their defences, after their software engineers successfully fought off an attempt to hack into their system two weeks ago. The state department says that their claims are nonsense and they should look nearer to home. Further…

  ‘Hello, Nance, I’m here.’

  ‘What? Oh, yeah, hi, hon. Love you.’

  ‘Love you, too. Now how was your day?’

  ‘My day? Oh yeah.’ She glanced at the newspaper and set it aside. ‘Kyle, I’ve been thinking, I may have a solution to Logan not liking us working together. Let me tell you about this job offer I’ve had from Homeland Security.’
