“Why?” Simone couldn’t help but ask

“Because you and I both know that Aidan is going to want everyone involved to be brought to justice And thatthe authorities with proof—anonyerprints on the USB drive with all the evidence I’m about to place on it for the benefit of the FBI”

“So that’s what you orking on earlier Don’t keep me in suspense—what proof did you find?”

“I hacked into Xu Wei’s cell phone carrier” Terri sounded like the proverbial cat who’d sed the canary “The iy were sent from Xu’s cell phone to Jia li’s Also sent from his cell phone were numerous calls to Croatia”

“Now ree and insert it into your laptop Let me knohen you’re done”

A fewand the drive came loose Simone inserted it into a spare USB port

“All ready”

Terri took over from there

She switched to the remote here she could see and control Sies of the Nano confidential drawings that Xu had stolen Then, she ejected the drive “Simone, please remove and reinsert the drive so I can test it”

Simone complied quickly

Terri saw the drive reactivate Then she double-clicked on each file to make sure they were readable Satisfied with her workmanship, she ejected the drive “Success Now place the drive inside the padded manila envelope and seal it”

Simone dropped the drive into the envelope, re strip, and closed the envelope “All done,” she replied

“Great We’ll be getting that to the FBI as soon as we’re done here I’m sorry you’re stuck outside the aparte and you need to be in close proximity to pick up their conversation”
