Chapter 221

When Rick got back to the office, Old Wilson and the general were just coming in as well. They had spent their lunch time discussing the new machines and were to purchase them. Old Wilson had found several office supply stores that carried the brand that the general had in mind. They were able to order the quanitity that was required as well as a few extra for back up. The general also suggested having a remote backup plan to ensure the data safety in case of a disastorous incident in the office such as a fire. Old Wilson agreed and put that on his list of things to accomplish. They greeted Rick and asked how it went with Debbie. He said "It went surprisingly well. She was not really that put out with the delay. So, if you don't need me over the next few days, I will accompany her and Matthew around town to take in the sights. Also, I have another request of you Old Friend." Rick was waiting on the day that when he said this to Old Wilson, that he would turn around and sock him in

In the lobby of the hotel the next morning, Old Wilson met the group when they came down. Not knowing what was to happen, Debbie brought along a large bag instead of her usual small purse. She had an extra set of clothes in it, just in case. Rick was still yawning, as was Brandon. Matthew was just excited for the day's excursion. Rick said "Old Wilson, can you now tell us what's going on?" Old Wilson relented and filled them in on his plan. "You will be taken from here to the airport. There you will board a private helicopter that will take you to the Taj Mahal. It's only about 115 mile north of New Delhi, so it will be a relatively short flight. Once you arrive at the airstrip, a local guide will join you to show you the sights there. All of your entrance fees have been arranged. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy your day! Oh, and lunch is included, so get ready for a most wondrous experience." All four of the party were stunned. Only Rick knew where they were going

The next afternoon at the office, the new servers had been delivered and were being installed. It was a straight forward installation, and no issues were noted. After the servers were installed, the real work began. General Han was a meticulous man. He took his responsibility very seriously when it came to security. He had learned over the years that more than just people and property must be secure. One of the most important commodities in the business world now a days was information. The computer era had brought forth a new kind of security issue, and that was the protection of data. It could be very valuable to competitors to get their hands on a rival's data of contracts, accounts recievable, and even employee records. The general had made it his business to learn of every new way that was available to protect these records, from secure storage to remote archives. Therefore, the servers that he was having installed were going to be the most secure that he could make them.

Rick, Debbie and Old Wilson were having a private conversation. The topic was Anita Cord. Debbie said "I think that Anita has a lot to offer on this visit. She communicates almost daily with the Barcelona office and their accounting deparment. If we give her the lead this time, I also think that it would boost her confidence level. Although she is smart, a hard worker and can think fast on her feet, she needs to learn to be more agressive. This is the way to help her improve her skills. Old Wilson replied "I think that you are right. She has shown considerable ability so far. Knowing the staff would be a big plus in rooting out any troubled areas in that office. " Rick mentioned "I think that we should offer her the chance. Old Wilson, you can brief her on the details that we already know. Then anything else that you think of that would be useful to her should also be offered. So, do we have a plan?" Old Wilson and Debbie both nodded their heads. The three of them then went

Anita was doing an amazing job with the inspection. The office Managing Director was Mr. Lewis Jackson. He had been at his position for several years. His control of the office staff was guided by a gentle hand. His main concern, and the reason he had asked for this visit from Old Wilson and Mr. Green, was that he had encountered some problems with suppliers. They had tried to default on several contracts that had been in force since he had been named to his spot in the company. Mr. Jackson suspected that it was a play to raise the suppliers' rates, without the benefit of signing new deals with RBG Investments. Anita took the time to really listen to all of Mr. Jackson's concerns before delving into an internal audit. General Han had already done the computer scans and run the remote audit on the financials. The audit that Anita and her team were conducting had to do with the contracts themselves. Each supplier had their own individual contract that was for five years. Most still h

Chapter 226

As the plane landed in Granada, the sky was blue, the air was fresh and the group were in high spirits. The trip was going well, and everyone was excited to be together. Old Wilson had found a very nice hotel in downtown Granada that was close to everything that was of interest. The convoy headed toward the city center, and along the way, everyone's eyes were looking at the city in awe. Debbie had gotten up that morning with a pain in her back that just would not go away this time. But she was determined to push through it and enjoy her time in Spain. Although she was missing her kids, she and Rick had made a video call last night with them. It helped to ease the guilt that they both felt about leaving them for so long. Rick had noticed the pained expression on Debbie's face several times so far today. At last he had no choice but to ask her "My love, are you alright? You look like you are in pain." Debbie replied "It's just that back pain again. I'll be alright. If it gets

Rick and the group sat in astonishment. They had all heard of protection rackets and stand over men before. But this was on a whole new level of viciousness. Old Wilson spoke up "We need to get General Han here immediately. I believe that he can help put this to rights. With his contacts, and his stategy skills, we can help these people overcome this common thug." Rick said "I'll call him now and see what he suggests that we do." He took out his phone and gave the general a call. "General Han, I hate to bother you, but we have a problem that only you are qualified to solve." With that, he explained the situation in detail to the general. General Han realised that Rick was depending on him to help solve this issue. It was as he said, a problem that called for some muscle to resolve. He was in the middle of the software installation, but trusted Helen to finish with no problem. Anyway, he would be back in a few days to verify the results. He told Rick "Master Green, I'll be there

That night at dinner, Old Wilson made a suggestion. He was worried about the safety of all non essential members of the group. He had a feeling that the next few days were going to be hazardous to those remaining in town. "All of you know what we are facing. This person named Lopez is dangerous and unpredictable. So, I have a suggestion for Madame, Matthew, Brandon and Anita. To minimize the threat, I suggest that you all go for an excursion to Sitges Beach. You can take the flight and be there in no time. The Barcelona airport is about as close to Sitges as it is to Barcelona. And I'll have a car waiting for you when you arrive. Then instead of returning to Granada, you can go back to the hotel in Barcelona and we will meet you there. We can call when this situation here is resolved and we know when we will be heading back to Barcelona." Everyone but Debbie was on board with this plan. She objected "I don't know if I will be able to sleep knowing that you all are in danger, especi

Chapter 229

After finishing up the work in New Delhi, Jonathan and Peter Harden had returned to Beijing and Fing City respectively. Old Wilson never thought that their expertise would be needed again on this trip. He was now regreting his decision to send them both home. The general had come up with a plan to capture the Mr. Lopez, with the help of the local police. After consulting with an old army friend, the general was introduced to the Chief of Police in Granada. As it turns out, they had met before, during some co-operative field exercises back in the day. Together, the Chief and the General planned out the stategy to bring this Lopez and his gang of thugs to justice. The police had known about his dealings for some time, but no one would come forward to give them any information to use against the man. Now that they had someone willing to talk, it was only a matter of time before the criminal was caught. There was a long list of crimes he would have to answer to. Old Wilson was

After all of the excitment in the office was over, Mr. Lang could not thank Old Wilson and his team enough. He was so relieved to have this issue off of his back. Now, he could tell the rest of the suppliers what had happened so that they good breath easier too. General Han and Helen had completed the software install as well, so it looked like they were done here in Barcelona. And a job well done. Now everyone could meet back in Barcelona to continue on to the next stop, Istanbul, Turkey. Rick called Debbie to tell her the good news. However, she did not answer her phone. This never happened. She always answered Rick's call no matter what she was doing. She would even answer in the middle of a meeting if he called. This was a bit disturbing. Rick then called Matthew to see what was going on. Matthew answered almost at once. "Matthew! I'm glad I got through to you. I tried calling my wife, but she did not answer her phone. Do you know where she is?" Matthew and Bran
