"Just got here."
"I didn't see you come in the front,' she said questioningly.
"Tried to stay out of the lime light. Came in through the back," he said curtly.
"Well then, let's get down to business," Emily said. "We've got to take care of more than one problem now."
"Yeah?"
"It seems that we have a Juneau look-a-like following me. A look-a-like that reports to Johansen."
"Damn!"
"My thoughts exactly. I know we don't need that kind of heat or action right now."
"How did you get rid of him?"
"I tapped him on the shoulder -- he fell down and I left."
"You are good!"
"Not really, but thanks."
"What do you want to do now?" Emily asked. "Let's go through what's been happening. 1. Juneau is in hiding. 2. You, Mr. Black, are supposed to neutralize Juneau. 3. I have mixed emotions about this because I worked for Juneau and now I work for the resistance. 4. the resistance is made up of a few old NASA employees who know the new situation and are unhappy about it. 5. So why would members of a group that supports the old NASA be against the leader of the old NASA? Lots of exciting questions, hunh?"
"So what do you want me to do Emily? I'm certainly happy to take out Juneau, as I've already been paid half my fee; but, I'd like to know soon, I do have a schedule, such as it is."
"You told me you'd have a report for me when we got to J9. What did you find out?" Emily asked.
"The latest intel on Juneau is that he is staying on Nevas 4. He's changed his face, which is why it's confusing to me that you were attacked by the Juneau look-a-like. Why would he change his face to look like a guy who just changed his face? It really just makes no sense. I had planned to go to Nevas 4 tonight after this meeting and deal with him, but I'm tempted to wait now and see what you come up with; it could make for an interesting story."
"Thanks for the intel. Do you have a picture of the new and improved Juneau?"
Black handed her a photo of a man with reddish=brown hair, greying a the temples. He had a roman nose, but it looked as if it had been broken in a fight. His eyes were very pale, icy blue, and in the photo they were filled with anger. When she was the eyes Emily knew it was Juneau, there are somethings that facial surgery and enhancements just can't change. The photo had been take at a club. she really couldn't make out too many details and as she stared at the photo something else in the background captured her attention. Actually it was a someone else, there was a lovely young girl in the background. She had jet-black hair and the olive-skin you see on Italian women. She was looking at Juneau as if she'd never seen something so exquisite and tasty. That might be the angle to play; the love interest.
"Black, I'm off to Nevas 4. I want to check out the girl in this picture. She knows something."
" I wondered if you saw that . Here's the plan; you go to Nevas 4, I'm off to take care of another job and I'll meet you in three days at the Condes in Mesca on Nevas 4", and he left the table.
