now that we had the well, we continue every technique that we ve been using, waiting for the next time he steals information and tries to send it to china. but you have to be patient for your opportunity. you don t know if it s going to be next week and you have to be ready for that, or it could be next year. we received a phone call from the surveillance personnel that they had some video of chi mak and rebecca sitting at the dining room table copying discs. that was the day we knew, okay, big break. something is going on here. in the surveillance tape we saw of chi mak and rebecca making a disc, chi mak was making the disc, but rebecca was constantly over his shoulder nagging him about what he was doing wrong or how he could do it better. then it was quickly
