Chapter 5

The messenger enters a Chinese restaurant clutching the case containing the virus like his life depended on it; actually the life of the whole planet depended on it.

The restaurant was buzzing with activity and chatter as the customers' orders were grilled and fried right in the middle of their rotating tables.

He wades past a chef performing stunts with flames while preparing a crab Rangoon while a couple seated at the table cheers him on.

"Xian sheng, wo ke yi jie nin de dingdan ma?" Can I take your order sir?, a young female Chinese dressed in white and red asks the Messenger as he approached the counter.

"Sesame," he replied picking up a menu and scanning through it, he points at a special Chinese character that looks like the letter "S" and shows it to her.

"What is password?" She asks in a low tone.

The messenger rummages through his pockets looking for a paper but he came up with nothing.
