Individual Reading: "The Patriots Games" by Tom Clancy: week 3 (p. 249 from 365)

Summary

Cathy and Sally are attempted their lives of by Kevin O’Donnell and his gang. During the assassination, Cathy’s Porsche is damaged and the police officer is killed, pursing the gang. As a result, Cathy and her daughter are sent to the hospital on the helicopter. Cathy and her future child are in stable mode, but Sally is the mortal edge.

Terrorists escape from the police. Their plan, as it is, is to attack all members of the Ryan’s family. Imon Clark, the beginner members of IRA , has the mission to kill Jack near the gatу of the Navy Academy, where he works. Clark, finally, is captured by Gunny and sent to the police station. Imon keeps silence. The police is shocked that Ivon Clark is in America, because he is in the wanted least. The Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland arranges her own security system to the Ryans. Policemen want to kill terrorists but their life principles are higher.

Jack is shocked in the hospital: his wife and her future child are under the doctors eyes and Sally doesn’t have any life place on her organism. By the way, journalists disturb the main hero in his mood. Robby is all the time near his friend. He supports Jack. Paddy O’Neil is nearly smothered by Jack. Paddy is supposed to be the sponsor of Ireland terrorists, he comes to the hospital to insure Jack that he doesn’t have bearing on the terrorist attack.

Edward Donocho, the FBI’s representative, opens his uncles eyes on the true deeds of the terrorists. John Donocho, the uncle, has the pub called “Patriots’ Club” in Boston. O’Neil raises money for terrorists in the pub. Having come to know that, the uncle expels him from the pub.

Jack returns to himself. Cathy can talk with her husband. Her father, Joe Muller, blames Jack. The father believes that Jack could not put his nose into terrorists business. Mr. Ryan promises to find terrorists and punishes all of them.

The British Police tries to find spy in the agency, but it’s still impossible and ineffective. Though, FBI and CIA have the meeting concerning the act of violence. Jack studies satellite images of terrorists’ camps.

O’Donnell, Miller and Macinni discuss the new plan: they know that The Prince of Wales will come to the USA; they know the way he will travel; they know the security system; they know that with the help of Mr. Cooley.
