‘I know you of old, Bryant. Something we have just spoken about has given you a plan. Am I
correct?’
‘Could you do a black bag job on a private bank in London and move money from an account there
to another account?’
‘The Russian money? You know where it is?’
‘Yes. Could you move it for me and make it look like a normal transfer?’
‘It would be a doddle. The big banks security is very poor but private banks believe security is a big
bloke with a shaved head and a wearing a dark suit at the door. We have a new recruit on my team
who used to work for British Security Systems. I swear he carries all the alarm circuit boards in his
head. I will do the transfer myself.’
‘There is one problem I can’t yet fathom, how to inform Mex the money has been moved. I need
him to fear for his life if he loses the money.’ I added.
‘Again, no problem. We have a complete breakdown on the method Mex uses for communication. I
just need to get a girl in place as a librarian, just for the drop. We have a girl who will be ideal; she is
a floater so no chance she will be recognised. You will need to type your instructions and Mex uses
pi, as his authenticity so you need to get that into your directive. That’s pi as in circumference of a
circle not as in blackberry and apple. There is just one other thing and I do not really know how to
say this.’
‘Go on.’ I encouraged.
‘If there is any blowback then it needs to come to you and the Cottage not me or Thames House.
My team and I would be burned if we were the cause of souring relations with the Feds.The fact
that you were not informed about Mex should be enough of a defence to justify your actions.
Nobody can blame you for trying to expose a potential mole. If anything goes ape shit then me and
my team will disappear and you will have to pick up the pieces ’
‘You want me in on the black bag job?’
‘Absolutely.’
‘Oliver, I assure you I would not have it any other way. What about the drop, Mex will recognise me
if I am too close.’
‘I will take care of that, as I said just write the directive and include a pi reference.’
We said goodbye and I made my way back to the Cottage.
I checked my watch; Viktor would be out of bed by this time so I rang him and hung up after three
rings. I rang again and on the sixth ring, the phone was answered.
‘It’s Günter Baumann. Would you please open the following bank account for me in Manhattan?’
