<P>"Yeah, UNATCO had the power to kill its agents with the push of a button, or by saying a phrase. They had that much control. JC had about twelve hours to get his killswitch neutralized before he would've died. He never got out of UNATCO, you know that. Neither did Paul."
<P>
<P>"Tong is a powerful ally," Jock said. "He's part of the Luminous Path, the triad in Hong Kong. Things are violent over there right now. I'd give you the full story, but we don't have the time. We should already be on the move. Tong knows things about UNATCO, about all the conspiracy theories and about MJ12. He-"
<P>
<P>"MJ12?" Dom interrupted. His head was still swimming.
<P>
<P>"He was a close friend of Paul. He trusted Paul. We can trust him."
<P>
<P>Dom glanced at Jess. He said, more to himself, "Where else would we go?"
<P>
<P>Jess nodded. They had to leave the city, and they had to go far away, so what better place than somewhere where they might be able to gain a friend and pick up the pieces.
<P>
<P>"Right," she said. "We'll go. How do we get a chopper?"
<P>
<P>Jock frowned. "I know it's a long shot, but we'd be much better off with a stealth chopper. With my old one. It's been taken to an isolated helipad in Manhatten. MJ12 has those in Hong Kong, too, so we'll have to be careful when we go."
<P>
<P>"How do we know where to find this helipad?" Jess asked.
<P>
<P>"I've been there, I've seen other choppers impounded there. Every chopper gets impounded there by default. We just need to hope it hasn't been moved yet. Oh, that reminds me, the chopper was bugged to begin with, which I can easily purge if we recover it. That's why we got caught the first time around."
<P>
<P>There was another uncomfortable pause. Brian was scribbling on a crossword puzzle in a newspaper he had found. Dom doubted he had heard anything that was going on.
