Austin looked around as he sat in the embassy's reception room. Since he was the only one invited, he
suspected it was a trap. When he received the invitation, he, Alexander, and Mike were surprised.
Furthermore, Austin was not familiar with the place. After some consideration, they finally decided that
he should go. After all, they would not be able to find out what the others were up to if Austin did not

A beautiful woman served him a cup of coffee and left him alone again in the vast room. Austin did not

Austin thought he was right and then sat down beside him.
