New York Federal Reserve Building 9th March 2011

"What do you mean they said no?" screamed Jacob, spraying drops of spit into the bankers face.

"Like I said Sir they wouldn't budge." replied the lackey instantly regretting the tone.

"Listen to me you jumped up Princeton halfwit, if that two trillion dollars isn't transferred into treasuries by Saturday we're all fucked and I'll have your picture plastered on the front page of everyone of my newspapers with that boy come Sunday!"

Ben said nothing, he just stared at the floor too afraid to reply.

Jacob was incensed, how dare they refuse. Who the hell do they think they are?

He looked around the room at the assembled group of men and women, his feelings fluctuated from grudging respect to outright hatred especially when he considered the current President, just looking at that pathetic excuse of a man made the bile rise in his throat.

He addressed the room...

"So Ladies and Gentlemen, due to the incompetence of Bernanke and Soetoro it would appear we are in need of a Plan B. We have less than 72 hours to acquire those funds before all hell breaks loose so I'm open to anything and I mean anything that will convince those bastards to transfer the two trillion."

The assembled group looked at each other in turn, all well aware that if one of them didn't come up with a viable plan soon they would all be in the shit. Jacob and his family would get off scott free as always and they would each be left to suffer the political consequences of the economic cataclysm that would start on Monday should they fail.

A voice spoke out....

"I have a radical option Sir."

"Out with it Bush, we're on the clock here." Jacob said impatiently.

"It's a modification of a scenario I ran with the CIA in the 70's, the original plan involved the DARPA array however with independant journalists all over that right now we're keeping it offline but the plan will work with help from Netanyahu."

"Explain."

Subic Bay - Philippines 10th March 2011

The Stealth ship left the US Naval base with a skeleton crew under the cover of darkness, the package had been delivered from Tel Aviv earlier that day and as far as the crew were concerned they were on standard manoeuvres.

Only the captain and the two operatives who had been tasked with delivering the package were aware of the destination and only the operatives had been briefed on the true nature of the operation, as far as the captain was concerned they were dropping off a listening device on the seabed.

As they neared the location the operatives made their way to the bowels of the ship to prepare for insertion, they were going to use a two man stealth sub to deliver the package to the location on the seabed. The operation would take roughly an hour to complete. The first operative got in the sub as the second set the charges to sink the ship in 90 minutes time so they had to get moving in order to be well clear of the ships location after they had completed the mission.

When the charges were set they exited the bottom of the ship and drove the sub into the dark foreboding depths of the ocean.

Chateau de Pregny - Switzerland 11th March 2011

Jacob was sitting in his study sipping a glass of Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne, he'd paid $1.9m for the bottle last year and thought it was an appropriate tipple to celebrate with.

As he watched the story breaking on the bank of televisions in front of him he was pleased to see the narrative they'd decided upon was being dutifully played out on the networks.

The intercom buzzed.....

"Yes Sandra."

"Mr Bush is here to see you Sir."

"Thank you Sandra, send him in."

Papa Bush walked into the huge study and stood in front of Jacobs desk, there were no chairs for guests.

"Well?" barked Jacob.

"We've just recieved a call from Kuroda, the Japanese government have agreed to liquidate the two trillion dollars in public pension funds and roll them into US treasuries."

"Good."

"There is one issue though." Bush said looking concerned.

"What?"

"The Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Power Plant complex was damaged and the reactor is going into meltdown."

"Have we covered all bases?"

"Yes Sir, the Stealth ship is at the bottom of the Sea of Japan, the operatives and the sub too."

"Excellent." Jacob said "What about the weapon?"

"Israel doesn't officially have nuclear weapons so it never existed."

"Good, so as far as the world is concerned it was an underwater earthquake not an attack, let's make sure it stays that way."

Jacob turned his back on Bush and went back to watching the devastation being aired on his networks. He was already thinking of the added bonus of the billions he'd make from the reconstruction work that would be needed in Japan.

"Thank you Bush, you're dismissed."
