It didn't even seem possible. One minute he was told Spike Webb had been caged according to plan and without a flaw. Not ten minutes later, they've lost him and don't even know how. The Ambassador was driving to the Barker Communications offices when he got the news from his head man. He knew that if he had been there, Webb would never have escaped. If it hadn't been for the overturned tanker truck on the south-bound side of 280 and the huge traffic jam it caused, he would have been there. At least his exit was finally in sight. Another quarter mile and he'd be off the freeway. Then he could find out what happened and see if anything could be salvaged from this debacle. It was clear to him immediately, however, that at a minimum, they had lost the advantage of secrecy. They would not be able to cover-up the abduction by telling Tango and McGill that an accident had happened during Spike's transmission to Talisent. Either the two of them had helped him escape or Spike Webb had already told them about the deception. The Ambassador wished they truly were able to send him to Talisent's lab for the reverse engineering work. No one could have interfered there. He also wished there was some way to avoid telling Talisent the bad news. She wasn't going to take this very well. The Ambassador could feel her rage already. The ironic thing was that every time something went wrong in their efforts to get the gateway working, the Ambassador ended up glad that it kept Talisent at a safe distance. Without the gateway in place, all she could do is yell at him and threaten him. There was no telling what she'd do if she could reach him directly, but something told him it would not be pleasant.
