The ambassador's eyes nearly popped out; he looked at Paul in disbelief. If this investigation uncovered everything, his reputation and career as an ambassador representing Iberian would be entirely tarnished.
Paul was equally uneasy, his face revealing his shock. How on earth did Tobby Curry discover that secret passage?
Noticing the ambassador's intense gaze, Paul turned to him and whispered, "That's an electronic security door, programmed with fingerprint and retinal scans. Only Clark can open it, but he's not here, so don't worry."
The ambassador asked, "Is there really dirty money inside?"
"Well..." Paul didn't know how to respond, so he merely nodded.
The ambassador's face immediately darkened.
Paul said, "Ambassador, if we get through this, your benefits will not be lacking."
The ambassador ordered, "Is there no escape route inside?"
Paul replied, "There is, but only Clark knows the password, and he has already been captured."
