The Package (Bucks) 
Sam sat on the nearby bench to contemplate the next move. "Where could he have gone?" he thought to himself, over and over again. Suddenly he was surrounded but he soon realised they were on his side. Spending a few moments with his "little friends", their incessant gaggling gave him inspiration. "Eureka!" he exclaimed, gathered his equipment and began the pursuit. As he sat on the bench, he had seen the tau, an ancient symbol of eternal life and symbol of the Ryu - Yoshinobu's Associates - and knew this would lead him along the right path.
"Hmmm. Alot of security for a normal house." Sam thought to himself. The infamous HQ of the Ryu - Bildasbot - what a great location. Who on earth would believe the world's most deadly assassins would operate here. That's why Yoshinobu had the package with him. He was making the delivery!
He hadn't detected the tail the Agency had placed on him when he left the Albert Hall earlier that day. He had managed to give 95% of the team the slip through his autonomous inbuilt anti-surveillance manoeuvres but hadn't anticipated Sam being one of the team members.
If he had any chance of catching Yoshinobu, he'd have to hurry along this route. After a very short while, Sam caught sight of Yoshinobu and gave chase.
Yoshinobu was in possession of the package that the Agency required and he wasn't going to give it up easily. Within seconds Yoshinobu was in his car, throwing the package onto the rear seat and making good his escape. Sam lost sight of Yoshinobu as he passed by the 'real stone' house but noticed that he had not had the opportunity to deliver the package to his bosses. Up ahead, abandoned outside the Beeches was Yoshinobu's car. The road was too narrow for him to negotiate and decided to decamp on foot.
Sam doesn't know this area well but that wasn't going to stop him pursuing his prey. Vaulting the car, Sam chased after Yoshinobu and some 100yds ahead of him, saw him disappear around a right hand bend. Following, he arrived at a fork in the path. "Did he go left or right?" Sam needed a clue. Slowly he walked down the chosen path for 40 paces and looked for clues to which route Yoshinobu took. Nothing! He walked 15 paces and looked again. Sam's acute sense of intuition paid off. He found the information he needed. Sam knew which path to take and off he went. Yoshinobu had a good head start on him now but it wasn't too late.
Arriving at the location from the information he'd just acquired, he found nearby, an aperture in the ground. Sam stood between the two large trees and looked at the hole. Surely not! NO! At 1100hrs and approximately nine fathoms later, Sam extracted information which Yoshinobu had left. These were the co-ordinates to meet with his Arch rival who would inform him of the location of the package so that his Associates could retrieve the item at a later date.
To this date, the Agency has not heard from Sam and have not been able to locate the package. Yoshinobu has left the country and returned to Japan, however, his associates have not yet retrieved the package either.
It is down to you, as an agent for the Agency, to retrace Sam's steps and locate the package before Yoshinobu's Associates do.
