The Iceberg - [Richard Mariner 05] - Plot & Excerpts
W. Gibson, The Ice Cart ~ * ~ Chapter Nine Richard Mariner stepped out of the elevator onto the 38th floor of the United Nations building in New York and followed a secretary called Veronica down the corridor towards the offices of the Secretary-General, dripping onto the carpet as he went. ‘As you know,’ Veronica continued, ‘the Secretary-General is in Oxford at the moment, preparing to address the Union,’ she was a Girton girl herself, he had discovered, ‘and so you will be seeing the Executive Assistant first before talking to the Club.’ His head was whirling. He was soaking, storm-battered, airsick, jet-lagged and exhausted. Most of this was going over his head and he hoped to God he would soon be talking to someone who made more sense. ‘The Executive Assistant is waiting for you in the Chef de Cabinet’s office,’ she explained brightly. The introduction of another language, even when it was simply a job title, just added to his confusion.
