Rick Pickles, strode off his luxury LIMO as if he owned the whole of Jerusalem, let alone the King David Hotel on which he had just landed. Pickles and his staff entered the elevator and went directly to the suite that had been previously reserved. One of Pickles' staff continued to the reception to complete the paperwork, whilst Rick relaxed and started dealing with the messages that were waiting for him. One of the messages was from Heidi Goldbloom, asking him to contact her as soon as he arrived. Two minutes later he was speaking to the Prime Minister.
“Rick, thank you for calling me, I need your help, if it's possible,” said Heidi.
“Anything I can do to help, what is it?” Pickles replied. “We need someone to retrieve something from under the Temple Mount, the lava has blocked our access and I wondered if your energy suppression device would allow you to enter the Mount through the lava, I would not ask but we are desperate,” explained the PM.
“I am not sure if it would work, but I will give it a go,” said Rick, “I'll get someone to make a test tomorrow, what is it you need getting?”
“I'll let you know after we know if it works; it's a matter of national security. I hope you understand that.”
“Sure, we will also need security at the Mount, can that be arranged for, say, around eleven tomorrow,” Pickles asked, “I don't want to let the secret out, it may be of more use if people believe in miracles.”
“Certainly Rick, I will get Ben to arrange it.”
