Saving Fish from Drowning - Heal Burma

AMY TAN Belinda looked at Zilpha out of the corner of her eye. They’d have to work fast to return to the bureau in Bangkok. The disc they’d recorded had to reach Global News Network before Harry gave his tape to the Embassy; otherwise, bye-bye, exclusive. Belinda asked if Harry was still going to do the update in Ran goon with TV Myanmar. He snapped a brisk no. He’d play along with them and let them fly him to Rangoon and pay for his hotel, and then he’d feign food poisoning before the shoot. Let them get a dose of their own medicine, he said to himself. Before leaving Zilpha’s room, Harry said, “I can’t thank you enough for letting me use your camcorder and computer. You’re a godsend. Say, what is it you two do?” “We’re teachers,” Belinda said immediately. “Zilpha teaches kinder garten, and I’ve got first grade.” Harry broke into a smile. “I thought it might have been something like that.” T HE NEXT MORNING, in Rangoon, Harry arose at five and went over his plan. He would wait for the reporter to call him at seven. He’d make his voice hoarse to sound deathly ill and to ensure that it was impossible for him to speak on camera. A couple of retches might be good, too. He’d play the part thoroughly. No shaving today, and no shower. He mussed his hair, put on rumpled clothes. At eighty forty-five, he would take a taxi to the American Embassy. If anyone <strong>from</strong> TV Myanmar saw him leave the hotel, he would say he was trying to find a Western doctor. Had he covered all the bases? Brilliant. He was about to order breakfast, but thought better of it. So he took out his notes and the rough draft of Come. Sit. Stay. At seven, the reporter called, but before Harry could launch into his excuse, the man said tersely, “Today we are not filming. Every thing has been canceled.” 406
SAVING FISH FROM DROWNING “Oh,” Harry said, forgetting to sound sick. “Why is that?” The re porter was elliptical in his answers. The more Harry asked, the more opaque his comments became. The reporter would say no more. Harry was baffled. Had there been a national crisis? He turned on the television. Nothing. Whatever the reason, at least it had nothing to do with him. 407
