Fourth Crisis: The Battle For Taiwan - Plot & Excerpts
Jade tried to outrun her conscience and raced against stretched loyalties. She pumped the pedals until her legs burned. Twisting and turning through the strollers, tourists, and joggers, she found herself torn between loving an American and her duty to country and her solemn oath. She turned off the paved path where it crossed the C&O canal, and where it met and skirted the Potomac. The falling river roared, its sound drawing her on. Arriving at one of her favorite thinking spots that overlooked Rocky Islands, she breathed deep and slow. The mist from the whitewater hung in the air, refreshing her sweaty face. She rubbed her aching calf, but then she stopped when a powerful primeval sense tingled: she was being watched. She looked around. A man leaned against a rock, sipping coffee and staring back through dark sunglasses. He had a neatly trimmed beard with a lick of grey in his brown hair. The man’s lips moved and the turn of his head revealed an earpiece. She was under surveillance. She jumped to her bike and took off.
