McTavish didn't speak.
He remembered a few weeks ago, when John McLean discovered that batch of radioactive materials and sophisticated parts in an old warehouse in Glasgow. At the time, McLean's judgment was that someone planned a terrorist attack in Scotland.
Now he understood.
It wasn't a terrorist attack.
It was market testing.
"Tell McLean," he stood up, "keep an eye on the streets of Glasgow. If 'Black Pearl' shows up on our turf, I want to know who's selling it, where it came from, and who they're working with."
Callum nodded.
"Also," McTavish walked to the window, "Over at the English Congress, aren't Sarah Kent's people organizing community patrols? Get them to help keep watch. If any strangers show up in the Liverpool Dock Area, tell them— I owe them a favor."
November 4, 1997, England, Liverpool.
When Sarah Kent received that message, she was handing out reflective vests to newly recruited patrol members.
