The Secret Service men had already swept the room for hidden ‘bugs’, cameras or any other electronic devices that terrorist spies had been known to use. Although the President’s visit was still an official secret, there was no doubt that either or both the Taliban or Al Qaeda members who had attended the meeting the day before would have, by now, notified all interested parties as to the President’s presence. This meeting had to be conducted swiftly, in complete secrecy, and hopefully with some kind of agreement reached. Andorra scanned the room where the meeting was to take place. All seemed in order, but her senses went on full alert when Secretary of State, Denise Harper, signalled that the Secret Service agents should admit the Taliban contingent. “Vampire,” she whispered to Tony who stood at her side watching the men file in. “The tall young one in the tailored suit. He was not at the meeting yesterday.” Interesting. She gave the vampire a knowing smile as he walked in with the other men who wore the traditional robes and agals.
