Transcript

This story is top secret. Top secret, starring beautifully Lornomassie as the Baroness Karen Geza in transcribed stories of international intrigue and espionage, brought to you each week at this time by NBC. Tonight, as assignment nine, is after in London.

This assignment began that actually should have ended, started that it should have finished. The end and the beginning took place in a deserted sub-base station in the city of London at 2 o'clock in the morning of the 15th of June.

The parcel for which so many people had fought and killed and spied was in my hands at last. London was saved. My mission was ended. For in a moment, Nikola's Kessler would die beneath the wheels of the chairing cross express.

Nicolas Kessler was dead. My mission was over. I thought, Harland, this is Karen Geza. I am calling from my apartment.

I just got in. Hello, did you get it? Yes. Where? From Nicolas Kessler in the morning to Greson subway station. And where is Kessler now? He is dead. Yes. It was run over but it charring crossed express.
