Section III
Chapter 42 (part 5)

The trio got off the plane following the other passengers into the airport. Sam got out his cellphone and made a quick call. Few minutes later, he was greeted by an officer who would lead them through the security without any hassle. The trio waited several minutes before the man Sam called arrived at the airport. The two men exchanged words briefly before everyone followed the man to his car parked just outside. Once everyone got in, Sam told the man he wished to return to office immediately to deliver an important piece of paper. He asked Jason if he wanted to head home but the young man shook his head claiming he was in the mood for more work. Justin was too busy looking out the window as he took in the scenes. Sam didn't bother interrupting him and, instead, began a conversation with the driver. He asked about the man's family seeing the conversation lasting until they arrived outside the building. The trio got out with Sam thanking the man. Then, the three of them entered the building with Sam taking them straight to his office. Sitting down in his familiar chair, Sam picked up his phone entering some numbers. While Sam was busy with his call, Jason excused himself so he could return to his officer. Justin, finding himself in unfamiliar territory, chose to sit down in the only other chair in the room. He watched Sam giving commands and, when he got bored of that, he studied the room they were in.
The room wasn't that big and it was nearly packed with the desk and a bookshelf. There was a photo of Sam and his wife on the desk. The desk was very neat as was the bookshelf. Justin took the time to look through the bookshelf finding many classics. He took one out and, based on the dog ears and other signs, concluded that Sam must have gone through them many times. Justin flipped to the first page but he noticed a pair of eyes studying him. Looking up, he saw Sam staring at him with amusement.
"What?" Justin quickly closed the book putting it back on the bookshelf. "I was just curious."
"I know." Sam turned to the door. "My team of specialists will be arriving soon."
"They sound serious," joked Justin.
"They are some of the best. One of them happened to know the game EU3."
"That would help."
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter," said Sam who pulled out the map.
Justin watched as three men and a woman enter the room. They seemed surprised to see Justin but none of them said anything. Sam waited for everyone to get in first.
"Justin, this is my team of specialists. Team, this is Justin. He's the lone escapee from Australia." Sam pushed the map towards the team. "Your task is to analyze this map and provide me with anything you can find. I even want the trivial stuff. Understood?" Seeing nods from the team, Sam dismissed them from the room after handing over the map. He turned back to Justin. "Hope you didn't mind that joke."
Justin shook his head but Sam caught a glint of tear in his friend's eye.
