Sirens were heard and a fire engine plus ambulance passed the taxi after leaving the scene of the accident. Siddique couldn't stop chuckling to himself. I've never had so much fun for a long time Mr Crown. You sure brought me some excitement.
Glad you enjoyed it, but questions will be asked at the Russian embassy and I hope Lana can handle the inquest.
She knew nothing Mr Crown. So she just tell the truth.
They arrived at the apartment and Crown reimbursed Siddique with extra money for his troubles.

The next day, Crown visited Tarak's office as pre arranged. Casey was there, eager to discover what had happened last night. Crown satisfied both their thirst for details.
Casey commented, You certainly manage to draw attention to yourself Jack. Two down already, and you've just arrived.
It was their crazy driving. Nothing to do with me, replied Crown.
Tarak said that the embassy at Delhi had informed him of the death of two security staff and asked if he could throw any light on the incident. He said that he couldn't.
Now we need to work out a plan to get that cypher machine and Lana out of the country, said Crown. Any suggestions?
Tarak replied. The Russians will quickly try to track down agent Lana realising that she is a double agent, and try to catch her before she leaves the country. The airports will be watched. We must make alternative arrangements.
Casey spoke, There is an Air Force base in Ber sarai, Delhi. I know of an American cargo flight due out tomorrow evening at 7pm. It's only going as far as Venice, but once there, you could catch a train to Paris. Probably the Orient express with an overnight journey. They would never expect you to take that route. What do you think Jack?
Sounds ok Dan. You could pick me up with my bags at around 3pm and then go to Lana's flat for her luggage. I will get a key from her this evening. She would not arouse suspicion then at the embassy with just her sports case.
Good, said Casey. Then we head for Delhi. We pick her up at around 6pm then make our way to the Air base. I'll make arrangements with the pilot to get you both on board. Then it's off to Venice. The journey is normally around 10 hours, so you'll have chance to relax. I'll make bookings for you in the name of Mr and Mrs Crown [ He laughed ] for the Orient express, and give you details tomorrow.
Tarak added, I will get a passport organised for Lana with your surname, and you can collect it tomorrow before you leave Mumbai.
Thank you Tarak and you Dan. I shall explain everything to Lana this evening.

The wine arrived and Crown said just to pour it.
Lana asked, Why plenty of French bread?
The mussels are combined with onion, butter, white wine, whipping cream and herbs. Usually thyme, parsley, bay leaves. The bread is used to mop up the juices.
Sounds delicious said Lana. I can't wait to try it. She emptied her glass of wine and Crown refilled it. Are you trying to get me tipsy Mr Crown?
The food arrived and they began to eat in silence.
This is really tasty. A good choice said Lana.
The main course arrived and they chatted about various situations in their work, but without focusing on the issue that was to dominate their time together. Perhaps they didn't wish to spoil the evening.
Crown noticed two men sitting opposite each other at the far side of the room. One of the men would frequently gaze in Crown's direction. Lana said she needed to go to
the ladies room. As she walked away, one of the two men left his seat and made his way quickly in her direction. He said something which made her turn around. They had a brief conversation before she continued her journey. A few minutes later she returned.
What was that man saying to you? asked Crown.
They are Russian security guys from the Embassy. They wanted to know about you.
What did you tell them?
Only that you worked for a communications company and I was interested In your work. He seemed to accept my story.
The waiter appeared and asked if they wanted a dessert.
Crown suggested to Lana to try the peaches poached in white wine and citrus fruits.
She agreed and it was ordered.
Dessert came and was enjoyably refreshing. It's difficult to talk here. said Crown. We need to meet up somewhere else, perhaps tomorrow. Any ideas where?
How about the beach near where you are staying?
Yes. I could make it for 6pm after getting home from the Embassy in Delhi. There's a rocky section on the left and I could take my colourful blue and white umbrella so you can identify me.
That's agreed then.
Shall we leave now and I'll get you home?
Crown paid the bill and they left the cafe. Siddique was waiting outside. Lana gave directions and they departed. On arrival at Lana's address, She turned to Crown and said how much she enjoyed the evening. She leaned towards him and kissed him on the cheek. She lingered for a moment and Crown resisted the strong temptation to return the kiss, with passion. I'll see you tomorrow Teen at 6pm.
He watched her climb the steps to her property and turn to blow him a kiss.
As Siddique pulled away he mentioned to Crown that they had been followed since leaving the cafe. He said it was a black Mercedes saloon. The occupants had come out of the cafe just after Crown.
Crown looked out of the rear window. Sure enough it was there. Ok Siddique, shall we have some fun?
Yes sir. Glad to oblige. I know those two guys. They use my taxi and never pay. Because they are Russian security, they think they can do anything.
Put your foot down and try to out manoeuvre them. The taxi picked up speed and the black saloon pulled up alongside the taxi. A window opened. A gun poked out. Crown shouted, Break Siddique! The taxi stopped. The Mercedes carried on past. Now reverse and turn left. Siddique did so and continued down another street. The black saloon reversed so quickly that smoke and a screeching sound came from the wheels.
It began to follow them again. Try to go as fast as you can Siddique and then do a sharp left turn. He carried out the instructions and when doing the turn, the rear end swerved to the right. The Mercedes tried to copy, but in doing so balanced on two wheels before somersaulting and ending up with wheels in the air. Smoke and steam appeared. An arm reached out of one of the car's windows. The door was jammed. A flame flashed upwards followed by a ball of fire. Crown and Siddique looked at each other. Crown said, Looks like they had a turn for the worse. We'd better get out of here. Take me home.

Crown's taxi arrived byat Heathrow airport and the driver wished Crown an enjoyable trip as he unloaded the suitcase and placed it on the pavement. Crown gave him a substantial tip and proceeded to the passenger lounge. He avoided the usual formalities and headed straight for the security section where he spoke to a customs officer who escorted him to a private room where the officials had received clearance from his department to proceed without any checks. His firearm was contained in a small case which he carried, and his main luggage went through in the normal way. He boarded the Air India flight at 8am and it would take approximately 8 hours 50 minutes to complete the journey to Mumbai.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Crown coped with the journey by reading and sleeping. He was desperate to stretch his legs and when the flight end was in sight he was so relieved. When the plane landed and he exited the craft, the hot air hit him like the opening of an oven door. He quickly made his way to the luxury of the air conditioned lounge and waited for his luggage to be available. He noticed a large powerfully built man start to approach him.
Are you Mr Crown? He asked with a broad smile.
Yes.
My name's Tarak. I'm so pleased to meet you Mr Crown.
Nice to meet you Tarak.
If you would follow me, I have a car waiting. He gestured to another man who picked up Crowns suitcase and followed them to the lounge exit.
They climbed into the rear of the vehicle as the luggage was placed in the boot. Well I hope your journey was good. I've managed to arrange a meeting with this agent Teen for 8pm tomorrow evening. She will
meet you inside a French restaurant I selected and hope that meets with your approval. It's called Rick's cafe Parisienne.
Yes. That sounds fine. I love French food.
I've also found some accommodation for your stay. It's close to Juhu beach. I think you'll like it. Oh, and I would recommend you hire a taxi for the whole of your stay.
I took the liberty of engaging Siddique. He's reliable and knows the whole of Mumbai.
Just ring him and he'll be at your service.
You've been working hard Tarak and i appreciate what you're doing.
I'm glad to help. I know Noon, your head of the service, well and we spent time together in the military. We were good friends. I dislike the Russian regime intensely and always glad to throw a spanner in their works.
The car pulled up at an apartment block near to a beautiful sandy beach. This is it Mr Crown. Hope you like it.

Jack Crown in action BLUE9
A blog by Crown Productions.

Crown drove home with thoughts swirling in his mind. He had worked for PRISM ( Personnel Responsible for Intelligence and Secret Missions ) for 5 years and had many successfully completed assignments. He had never visited India and was looking forward to this new experience and challenge. He had encountered many women in his exploits and sometimes they had complicated matters. But in this case he was dealing with an agent who was risking her life and he had to ensure that she was protected. Whatever happened in that process, he couldn't predict.
When he arrived home he packed his bags and checked his gun was properly functioning. It was a Colt model 1911, semi automatic with a Nexus suppressor. He used a shoulder holster for concealment.
He had a quick meal and set his alarm for 6am. He then went to bed and soon fell asleep.
***************************
The alarm woke him on time and he went for a shower before putting on a dark blue lightweight suit, pale blue shirt and navy silk tie. He had booked a taxi the previous evening, and this arrived as scheduled. Destination was the airport and the long flight to Mumbai, and Chattrapathi Shivaji airport.

Next episode is part 6 and the meeting with other characters.

Jack Crown BLUE9

Not to be missed.

After the meeting with Noon, Crown returned to his office in a buoyant mood. He looked at his secretary who was wearing a pink and white shirt and light grey skirt, and said you look beautiful today Lois.
She laughed and replied, Don't I always? You look happy with yourself.
Of course Lois you always look great. Yes, at last I have something special on. I'm off tomorrow to India.
You lucky thing. Escaping this weather. I hope you bring me something nice back.
The chief of staff entered the room. Everything go ok with Noon, Crown?
Yes I'm off tomorrow.
I need to tell you a few things before you leave the office. When you arrive in Mumbai, you will be met by our man there called Tarak. He is totally reliable and knows the place like the back of his hand. He'll sort your accommodation and eventually arrange a meeting with this agent Teen. At some point you will be approached by a man from the CIA. The Americans are very interested in this cypher machine and will be happy to support you, if you need help.
That's good. Said Crown. Nice to know there's back up if I need it.
Ok then Crown I'll leave you to it, and keep in touch. I'll do all I can to help at this end.
Now what about lunch? You can read that file after.
Let's go then, replied Crown.
See you later Lois.

Crown returned to his office later in the day and studied the details in the dossier marked Top Secret.
His eyes were draw to the picture of Lana, who appeared very glamorous. Long dark hair. Shapely figure. Wearing a turquoise dress and stiletto healed shoes. He read the information regarding the cypher machine, which apparently was Russia's most valuable piece of coding apparatus, and realised the value if it could be captured. After a period of intense reading he closed. the folder and looked at his watch. It was 6pm. Lois had left the office earlier and wished him good luck. Crown picked up the document and on his way out, deposited it with Noon's secretary. Said goodbye and left the building for home.

Glamorous agent Lana soon featuring.
Uncensored.

It was a cold overcast day in central London when Crown left his apartment and drove his AC Cobra to the secret service building and parked it in his usual spot. Instead of using the lift he climbed the stairs to the third floor and entered his office where his secretary Lois Proudfoot immediately looked relieved to see him The chief of staff wants you. He's with Mr Noon now so can you go to see him now. Crown didn't stop to question her but went straight to Noon's office. Noon was the head of the secret service and had Crown's great respect.
Noon's secretary told him to go straight in. The chief of staff was on his way out and greeted Crown. See you for lunch hopefully he said and made way for Crown.
Come in Crown and sit down. Noon was looking through the office window and slowly swivelled round in his red leather chair. He had a folder in his hands and handed it to Crown. That's for you to study after this meeting. Something's come up, and I need you to take charge of the matter. We have a double agent working in the Russian embassy in Mumbai. She is really one of ours and we have been feeding her information of sufficient quality to make her appear to be effective in working for the Russian service. The FSB. She has been accepted by them and she has access to something of great value, which she says she could obtain. But that would be the end of her operation there and she would need to leave the place pretty quickly for fear of retribution.
This is where you come in Crown. I want you to help her carry out the procurement of the vital machinery and get her and yourself out of the country.
You will find travel tickets in that folder. You will leave for India tomorrow morning
Are you happy to do this operation BLUE9?
Noon sometimes called Crown by his code number and usually when there was a job to be done.
Yes sir. Of course.

Part 4 next and the excitement builds. Crown meets double agent.


BLUE9 Jack Crown

Crown woke at the sound of the motor bike. He rushed to the window and saw the back of the rider disappear into the distance. He saw the pile of clothes near the bed. Stupid b*tch he thought. She was so intelligent but forgot to get dressed. He picked up the discarded items and put them on the bed. He lay down again and with his head on the pillow began to reflect on the few days that had elapsed and how he had ended up in Mumbai and encountered the beautiful agent with the code name Lana.

She woke up and it was cold. She looked at her watch. It was midnight. She panicked. She must get home. She kissed the man on his shoulder and climbed out of bed. She rushed downstairs and opened the front door. Her motor bike was parked close by. She straddled the seat. It was freezing. She realised she was naked and forgot to get dressed. The front door was shut and locked.

BLUE9 Jack Crown soon in action.
Uncensored.

Crown arranged with the taxi driver to be picked up in 2 hours time and to be taken to Santa Lucia station. This would allow time to take shower and food. Gerard had left the two of them to use the hotel facilities. This was also an opportunity to update Noon at HQ. The message read:-
RN
Director of Operations
PRISM
Have partner with goods. In Venice. Two interested parties seriously failed in bid. Will take OE to Paris. Today.
BLUE9
After refreshments and a change of clothes, Crown and Lana thanked Gerard for his hospitality. The taxi was waiting and after loading their luggage, they departed. The Orient Express was due to depart at 11:30 leaving half an hour to board the train and be escorted to the cabin booked by Casey,
Mr and Mrs Crown. This is your a accommodation for the journey. I hope everything is to your satisfaction. My name is Pierre. Please ask if you need anything.
Looks really nice, said Lana. We'll have to check out the rest of the carriages.
Yes, Mrs Crown. Whatever you say, replied Crown with a smile. But first I must give you a hug. After all you are supposed to be my wife.
Well, ok. If you insist. I suppose I'd better do as you say. She laughed.
They embraced and kissed as the train started to slowly edge its way out of the station.
There was a knock on the door. Crown automatically withdrew his gun from its holster and held it behind his back as he partially opened the door.
I'm just reminding people that lunch is available now, said Pierre. And I have a letter for you which was given to one of the guards at the station.
Thank you, Pierre. Crown sat down and opened the letter. He remained silent for a while.
What's it say? Asked Lana.
It's from Captain Gerard. He says that when we left the hotel, he noticed a car begin to follow us. He became suspicious and noted the registration number. Dan Casey was contacted to identify the owner. Apparently, it was a hired vehicle. Rented by a man called Sergei Asimov who was known to the CIA as a leading figure in the Special Eliminations Force ( SEF), a branch of the Russian intelligence service. It may well be that he is on this train. Take every precaution.
I knew it, sighed Lana. There's no escape from these people.
Well, we'll just have to be very aware of those around us and always keep this door locked. At some point, if he's on board, he'll make a move to locate us. Let's get some lunch and be around other people. I'll keep the cypher bag with me at all times.
They left their cabin and found the restaurant car. Crown encountered Pierre and asked him if there were any Russian passengers. He was intending to meet an old friend. Pierre agreed to check. Crown and Lana took their seats and examined the menu. Lana wore a fawn two piece suit with a coffee coloured silk shirt and a string of very small pearls around her neck. The dark hair rested on her shoulders. By the way, you look wonderful, said Crown.
Why, thank you, Mr Crown. If you keep saying things like that, I may get to like you.
In that case, I'll keep saying them. Who knows what might happen.
Lana reached out her hand and placed it on top of Crown's. You know how I feel about you. When we've had lunch, let's forget about the difficult situation we're in and make the most of our time here.
The waiter came.
Crown ordered the smoked salmon with eggs, followed by fraises des bois with plenty of cream.
Same here, said Teen.
A dry Martini with mine. How about you Lana?
I don't drink normally, but will try a Martini.
That's two dry Martinis, made with Gordon's gin and Noilly Pratt vermouth. slice of lemon.
The drinks came.
Lana took a large gulp of her drink. Wow! This tastes good.
Crown smiled. Be careful. You're not used to it.
I don't care. She finished off the remainder.
Crown ordered two more.
Are you trying to get me drunk, Mr Crown, so you can have you're way with me?
Of course not, he replied.
Well, you don't need to. I've already planned our after lunch activity.

Continued from 10B......
The meal arrived and they both ate in silence. Touching their feet under the table was sufficient communication. Occasionally they would glance out of the window at the passing countryside. The train would travel through Milan, Lausanne and then Paris.
Crown's thoughts were interrupted by Pierre who said that he had found one person from Russia on the passenger list. A Mr Asimov. Should I tell him that you wish to speak?
Thank you Pierre, but no. I am sure we will meet sometime on the journey. I wish to surprise him.
Lana looked up. So he is here. Let's get back to the cabin and perhaps this evening there will be more people around, especially at the bar. They have a pianist there. I noticed when we passed through to this carriage,
They got up from the table and returned to their little sanctuary. The sun was bursting through the window and Crown pulled down the blind. It was a luxury compartment, furnished with bed, seats, en suite.
He felt arms around his waist. I'm going to get undressed and lie down. Come and join me when you're ready, said Lana. She removed her suit, blouse and underwear. The bed sheet was thrown back and she snuggled down, pulling the cover up to her neck.
Crown checked the door was secure and placed a chair against it. He put his gun on a nearby table and undressed. He sat on the edge of the bed and took her hand. She pulled him towards her and kissed him softly, then fiercely with passion. His hand caressed her left breast and he pulled the sheet to the end of the bed, exposing her body that was naked except for the small string of pearls round her neck. Crown kissed every inch of her body, working up to her lips.Her arms groped for him. The room was silent except for the sound of the train clicking on the rails and points. Shadows and lights flashed across the compartment as the two lovers entwined their bodies.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After sleeping and a shower, the two agents prepared themselves for the evening. First to the bar, and then the evening meal. Lana put on a gold coloured, body hugging, silk, full length dress and shoes with a two inch heel. Crown felt comfortable in a dark blue suit, Ben Sherman turquoise shirt and navy tie.
On arrival at the bar, the pianist was playing and singing, "All of Me."
Lana said she would have the same drink as tried lunchtime. Crown ordered two Martinis.
They sat in the luxurious surroundings that were the main feature of this train.
Lana leaned forward and kissed Crown. Thank you.
What for?
For making me happy.
It was my pleasure, said Crown. Always happy to be close to someone beautiful like you.
The music changed and the pianist began to sing, "Some Kind of Wonderful."
Crown particularly liked this song, and without Lana knowing, had requested it.
After an hour, Crown and Lana made their way to the restaurant car. There were a large number of people dining, and Pierre showed the couple to their seats. He mentioned that the man Crown was interested in was sitting to the rear of the carriage. Crown was facing in the opposite direction, and asked Lana to take a look. She looked shocked.
I know that man. He came to the embassy in Delhi and spoke about the SEF. I recognise his reddish hair and face. He's got to be the one who's after us.
If he leaves, tell me, said Crown. I'll follow him. You must wait here with the bag. You'll be safe with all these people around.
