There had been four men in the unit to which Alex had been assigned: Wolf, Eagle, Snake and Fox. None of them had been allowed to use their real names. While he was with them, Alex was Cub. And now that he thought about it, there had been one with a Liverpudlian accent. It seemed incredible that the two of them should have met up again in Bangkok, but there could be no doubt about it.

The noise of the machinery would have covered the crash of his feet as they made contact with the metal surface. Five seconds later, a figure dropped out of the sky and landed just a few metres away. It was Ben Daniels. Unlike Alex, he had chosen the deck with pinpoint accuracy. He gathered in his chute and gave Alex the thumbs up.”
