get out. A really bad feeling began to gnaw at him. He hit
the transmit button. "Calvin, see about getting those people
out of that bloody car. Gary, you're with me." "And where are we going?"
"Into the bus. I don't like the way they've left it perched
there. They knew the representatives would stay inside the
car."
McCarter's premonition was given more credence when
he saw the two tails he'd spotted weren't interested in doing
anything more than picking up the survivors from the bus.
The Toyota van and Isuzu Trooper made their pickups and
turned around immediately, tangling with the Japanese po-
lice cruisers pulling into the area with whirling blue cher-
ries.
"Set up a cordon around that bloody bus right now,"
McCarter said to Ishii, "unless you want a lot of bystanders

sprinted to the bus.
Calvin James parked beside the limousine and started to

Running with the Browning Hi-Power in his fist,
McCarter was the first man to reach the bus. Manning was

"Year, but the bleeding thing has enough firepower be-

as he slipped into the seat behind the steering wheel. The
ignition was empty of keys, and the windshield was thor-
oughly shattered.
Leaning underneath the console with his pocketknife, the
Briton quickly stripped the ignition wires. Sparks flew
when he touched them, and the diesel engine turned over
sluggishly. Still, it caught.
Ishii stuck his head into the bus long enough to see the
bomb as Manning was working on it.
"Clear the street," McCarter ordered, backing the bus
off the limousine. "I need a place to put this."
"There's a parking garage a block up," the Japanese
policeman said, "used only during business hours. It'll be
