Thomas Yancey was sort of amused by the Secretary of State's sense of humor.

Never mind that there was, officially, no longer an American Embassy
in Bucharest; The logic of the State Department *still* had people
posted to Bucharest, so to Bucharest they went.

Only, as tourists.

Under the stupidly named AEB Tours, Inc. Out of Florida.

They were to be the Long-Term American Tourists, du jour.

Their tasks were all, broadly stated, pretty simple.

First, enjoy the locals. Not hard, the locals...Only price-gouged them a little.

Second, keep an eye on things. Which thusfar seemed fairly stable.

Three, save the necks of any American so unfortunate as to get stuck
in a foreign jail, and provide the usual consular services, if on the
sly. That could be tricky.

But even more tricky was their fourth task: Stay in contact with the
Romanian government.

Of course, that was why they'd picked him.

Yeah, some vacation.
