."The telephone rang and Chiun said, "It is Emperor Smith.""How do you know?""It is simple.I am here.You are here.Smith is not here.Therefore, it is Smith.""Very good," Remo said."What else can you foresee?" Chiun put his fingers to his temples and closed his eyes as if peering into the future."I can see who will answer the phone," he said."Yeah? Who?""You, Remo.""How do you know that?""It is simple," said Chiun, opening his eyes."Because I am not going to.Heh, heh.Because I am not going to.""Very funny," said Remo and walked across the room to answer the telephone."All right, Smitty.It's your dime," he said pleasantly."Remo?" Smith's voice was sharp."I was calling Chiun.""So you got me.Don't sound so disappointed.Chiun's not answering phones at the moment.""What are you doing in Detroit? Where were you at two o'clock this afternoon?""With Chiun, at some car exhibition.Smitty, did you know there's a guy running around calling himself by my name?""Let me speak with Chiun, Remo," Smith said.Remo tossed the phone to Chiun, who snatched it from the air and announced,"Hail, Emperor Smith.Your fears are groundless for Remo is with me and all is well."Remo listened to Chiun's side of the conversation patiently.Normally, even from across a room, he could hear both sides of a phone call, but Chiun had the earpiece so tightly pressed against his head that Remo could not hear anything but the old man's voice."I cannot explain," Chiun said."Not now.Rest assured, all will be rectified in time.Yes.No more carriagemakers will die.You have the word of the Master of Sinanju and you need no other assurances," Chiun said curtly, then hung up."What was that all about?" Remo asked."Emperor's business," Chiun said."Are we back to that again? Come on, Chiun.Tell me what's going on."Chiun waved for Remo to sit and Remo lowered himself reluctantly to the floor."My son, you trust the Master who made you whole, do you not?""You know I do," Remo said."Then I call upon you to listen to that trust.Emperor Smith wants you to return to Folcroft.Do this.I will join you in a day.Two at most.Trust me, Remo.There are some things you should not yet know.This is one of them."Remo sighed."I will do as you say.""Good," said Chiun."Now go.I have much to do.""I hope Smith thanked you for saving those two guys' lives today when that gunman opened fire," Remo said.Page 58ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html"Thanks are not necessary.It is part of my mission.""And what's the other part?"Chiun silently rose and placed the moon rock back into one of his steamer trunks.He would not answer, Remo knew, so he walked to the door, but in the doorway, paused."Chiun.That guy with my name? Is he the reason you and Smith are so upset?""No," said Chiun, although it hurt him to lie to his pupil.But it was as he said.There were some things that Remo was better off not knowing.Chapter 12The President was disturbed; Smith could tell by his language."What the heck is going on, Smith? You assured me that Drake Mangan would be protected and he's dead.Now somebody tries to kill Revell and Millis too.""We had protection there," said Smith."Something's just gone wrong.""Gone wrong? You're not supposed to have anything go wrong.How is that possible?""I'm not sure," Smith said.The President's voice was cracking."Not sure? Are you telling me that you can't control your people? I hope you're not telling me that because I'm tempted to give you a certain order.You know the one I mean.""That is your decision, sir," said Smith, "but I think it would be a mistake at this time.And I've been assured that no more Detroit executives will be lost.""They don't grow on trees," said the President."We've lost Mangan and I don't want to lose any more.""If you have no specific orders for me, Mr.President, I must return to monitoring the situation."There was a heavy silence over the safe line to Washington and for a long moment, Smith thought that the order to disband was coming
