and I want you sitting down when I tell you. Tell me Yoko is there with you. Tell me that, Harry.”
    “Yes, Yoko is here. So is Cooper. So tell me what you have to tell me.”
    “You called me, so you go first. Is everything okay? What was the emergency?” Jack said, stalling for time.
    “You remember that Jun Yu said he was sending me something I needed to guard with my life?”
    “Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Did it get there? What is it?”
    “His wife, Jun Ling, and his two kids, Hop and Gan. They’re sitting here in my kitchen. They came with only the clothes on their backs and special cell phones, whatever the hell that means. Jun Ling said some of the same people who got on the plane with her in China traveled all the way with her to Washington. Asians. She came through Kennedy in New York to Dulles. She said Jun Yu managed to smuggle them out. I want to bring them out to the farm, but first I want you to call Jack Sparrow to have his agents give us an escort. Then I want you to get in touch with Pearl, so she can take this little family to safety via her underground railroad. Can you do that, Jack?”
    “Well, yeah. I have you on speakerphone. Annie and Myra are on it right now. Don’t open the door to anyone, Harry. Do you hear me?”
    “I’m not stupid, Jack. What did you want to tell me?”
    “I don’t think this is the time and the phone . . . we can talk when you get here.”
    “Tell me now. Nothing can be worse than this.”
    “You wanna bet? You know that old saying, when it rains it pours? When I got here, Fergus and Charles had C-SPAN on, and a bulletin flashed across the screen. Just a bulletin, Harry, with no details.”
    “Okay, I get it, a bulletin with no details. Do I need to yank it out of you?”
    “Jun Yu is dead. He was killed today. Actually, they used the word slaughtered.
    “If I remember correctly, Jun Ling doesn’t speak English, and you said the kids are there, so how are you going to handle this?”
    “Very carefully but not here,” Harry said, his head reeling at the news and not bothering to tell Jack that Jun Ling’s English was usually quite good. “Right now they’re exhausted, and I don’t think Jun Ling can handle any more bad news. You’re sure, Jack, there’s no mistake.”
    “Harry, I’m as sure as the bulletin I saw sliding across the screen. It’s still running across. It’s for real. Still no details. You okay, Harry?”
    “No. How long before the agents get here?”
    “Ten minutes,” Harry heard Annie loudly in the background. “Be downstairs waiting. Two agents, Panellie and Dante. We’ll be waiting for you to get here. And Pearl should be here by the time you and the others arrive. We have it covered, Harry.”
    “I’m going to China,” Harry said.
    “We’re all going to China but not right this minute. The girls are on it, Harry. They’re waiting for Yoko. You know they don’t make a move until everyone is present,” Jack said, coming back to the phone. “Easy does it, buddy. See ya when you get here.”
    Harry looked down at the phone in his hand, then over at his wife, who was staring at him, her eyes narrowed. How much to tell her? Everything, by the expression on her face. He swallowed hard as he led her from the room and whispered what Jack had told him. Yoko’s hands flew to her face as she fell into Harry’s arms.
    “Don’t tell them. Not yet. I’m so sorry, Harry. I know how much you loved Jun Yu, and he you. Proof is sitting in our kitchen. Of all the people in the whole world, he chose you to safeguard his little family. We must honor that wish.”
    Harry’s head bobbed. “Gather them up and meet me downstairs. Do we take Cooper or leave him here?”
    There was no need for Yoko to respond, because Cooper had his one-eared rabbit with its half tail in his mouth. He was ready to go. So ready, he beat Harry to the steps and the workout room. He settled himself by the steel door as a sentinel.
    Harry reached down to
