Lexicon had reached a state of complete frustration when Spike Webb appeared in the middle of his laptop's screen. Spike piped a projected still image of himself and his voice to Lexicon's Internet address. He had seen Lexicon's activate messages looking for drone's that would comply and tracked them back to his address.
"It's not possible that you could have already eliminated the drones." "You can try as long as you like to activate them, but I assure you, they have been eliminated. Now it is time for you to turn yourself over to the authorities. You will have to pay for your crimes." "I will not be turning myself in. At this moment I am in transit to a secondary location which I prepared for myself in case of a situation like this." "You've lost your company and everything you've worked a lifetime to build, Lexicon. Don't give up your integrity. Turn yourself in and face the consequences of your actions." "Don't try to appeal to some kind of morality in me Webb, it won't work. What I have left is enough to rebuild everything I ever had and more. I'll be back Webb and I'll be looking for you when I do return. You can bank on that." "Don't threaten me Lexicon. You never know, I may decide to come find you first." With that said, Spike issued a remote command to Lexicon's laptop operating system which powered it down. Lexicon smiled at the blank display and closed the case thinking about how exciting it was going to be to have a worthy opponent. Especially one with a bit of a temper. Lexicon cleared his cellular phone line and dialed another number. He coded in his PIN and issued keypad instructions to transfer his assets to a Swiss bank account. Thirty minutes later he transferred the four hundred million dollars again and closed the Swiss account. "I love this high tech consumer service stuff. Physical location is totally meaningless. Round one, however, does go to Mr. Webb. I salute you, Spike Webb, whoever you are." Nancy and Roger had indeed spent most of the night at Lexicon Industries with Fred Lindquest and three other FBI agents. According to their official story, things got crazy when Lexicon learned that Hank Brooks had bragged about the Internet operation to his old friend Roger. From there it was a struggle for their lives. Brooks lost while Lexicon made good his escape. The FBI had searched for Lexicon and discovered his late night departure from the San Jose airport. They waited for his arrival in Honolulu but, of course, he was a no show.
