Chapter 471 - Passing the information (4)

18 May, Li Family Villa, Capital

Before Bronwyn knew it there was a knock on her father's study door, and she heard her Mother's voice "Come on you two. You have been in there for over forty minutes, and everyone was wondering what had happened."

Watching it, Legend quickly mover so he would be totally hidden, as her father moved over and opened the door, making sure Legend was totally hidden from view. As her mother came in her father leant over and kissed her on the cheek before saying "Apologise my dear. I got a little side-tracked with something. Give us five minutes, and we will be there."

"Five minutes. Your cousins are challenging your boyfriend, and the lot of them decided to parachute jump tomorrow. They are reckless, and I would suspect your boyfriend, being a police officer, will have no idea on what to do, so you better come and rescue him."

"Mum, he will be fine. Tell everyone we will be there in a couple of minutes."

Seeing a nod, her mother turned and left before her father shut the door. As the door was secured, Legend moved back out and said, "Bronwyn, we will get you all the intelligence going back all the way. Tell Matthew we need the two of you to conduct a complete review and determine the tactical and legal strategy we need for the rest of us to review. If it is as the intelligence is indicating what are the consequences."

"You think I am an idiot?"

"No, the missing piece of information is where and when these attacks will happen. But remember that we must at all costs protect the source and everything must be clearly scrubbed before being disseminated. At this time, any slip ups will not only see the death of our source but prevent us from defeating this terrorist."

"Legend, double check Matthew's decryption and get it out. My scan of it as we spoke, if that decryption is correct along with Matthew's written reaction gives me concerns."

After shaking his head Legend said "I do not believe he would make the decryption mistake. You forget he was one of the best we have ever seen at that. Now get out of here, otherwise if Madam Li comes back, she will find me and the three of us will be in so much trouble. But Boss, do you want me to make the arrangements for those idiots of nephews of yours tomorrow?"

"Can you. Add me to the jump. I need to do one in the next few weeks to keep my general jump qualifications up. Bronwyn?"

"Why not. Those cousins of mine want to think they can bully my boyfriend well I will try and stop them."

With that Bronwyn followed her father out back towards the rest of the family while Legend remanded in the study. Sitting down, he felt frustrated. Head Honcho was trying to take over this too much. Unlike Matthew Rong who he trusted, trusting Bronwyn to have access to one of the biggest intelligences secrets the country had. That felt like it was a move too far. Yes, they needed a legal opinion, but placing that in the hands of someone with a low-level position, regardless of how skilled they were, felt like a risk. Handling this needed absolute trust by those involved, and as the legal person was Head Honcho's daughter no one else cleared questioned the recommendation. He just hoped that this did not destroy the best chance they had, to defeat the Devil, and see to his prosecution, given the confirmation in this material as to his identity.

As she walked into the room, Bronwyn said with a sugary tone, "What is this I hear about you going jumping tomorrow, you idiots."

As everyone sensed she was being sarcastic, everyone laughed before John moved over and took Bronwyn's hand in his before looking her in the eyes and saying "They all said a police officer would not know how to jump, so I decided to take up the challenge if they all jumped with me."

"Terrance Eng!" spat out Bronwyn, "I am betting it was you, you idiot who made that challenge."

Sheepishly Terrance said, "Who me?"

"Yes you, idiot. Just because you civilian qualified to jump you seem to think that you are brilliant at it, and challenge everyone around you to jump. Do you not remember what happened the last time you laid out one of these challenges? Those three over there," with that Bronwyn pointed to Charles, Max, and Jake "broke bones and were lucky that Dad and I jumped with you otherwise it would have been more serious."

"Hey, do not blame me cousin, I told him that I did not want to jump at that time," said Max. "But we are not stupid. We have been and taken lots of lessons and can jump much better than before."

Shaking her head Bronwyn said, "And you went along with this?"

"Why not. Your dad has taught us well, let alone the civilian jump instructors we have had."

Bronwyn looked at her uncles and aunts, before her Aunt Terri said "You know the lot of them together, want to make sure that any man is worth their favourite cousin, and you know your Uncle Xavier and I can deal with the medical consequences of the jump. Plus, you try stopping them when they are all together."

"And I thought medicine was about protecting people, not encouraging them to be idiots."

After a round of laughter Bronwyn looked around the room before her Uncle Xavier said, "It is, but you try stopping them when they get an idea in their mind."

Looking at her father, and then to John Bronwyn said "Fine, but forget about taking my boyfriend up there on your own. I do not trust you lot not to get into mischief on the jump. I will jump with you…"

"You, you're just a girl…"

Standing straight Bronwyn looked to her cousin Nathan before firmly responding "Idiot. I have jumped with you lot before, and I am military jump qualified including specialists jump qualified. And Dad said he would jump as well."

Looking around at her cousins, she could see that this had stopped their plans to cause some trouble, so Bronwyn said, "Mum you have told them?"

"I have, and I am glad that my daughter could come back for a family celebration that there will be a new addition to the family in less than six months."
