A Modern Nemo 34

Mancini walked swiftly toward the Embark. Entering the bridge, he found Konstantiniadis speaking with the captain. Konstantiniadis noticed him and bade the captain to take his leave. As the captain exited through the door opposite, Mancini walked towards his boss. "We have a problem, Tony," he said.

"What is it, Tom?" asked Konstantiniadis.

"Somebody seems to have gotten wind of our operations. We may have to speed things up a notch."

"What do you mean?"

"Four of our men were killed after trailing two suspicious-looking characters who were asking around about why so many of our ships are moving  together as a group," Mancini explained. "I have a hunch the EOGC's indirectly involved."

Konstantiniadis' face darkened. "What makes you say that?" he asked.

"Bosque says the weapon used to kill two of our guys was standard-issue EOGC equipment."

"Bosque, eh? Isn't he an ex-EOGC soldier?"

"He is."

"But why would Eric Ong suddenly get interested in my operations? Are you sure it's really Eric Ong or somebody with EOGC connections?"

"It may well be the latter," replied Mancini. "I'll have Bosque get to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, we need to move fast."
