able to pay off the Mafia bookies would be by stealing from his CIA employer. Viktor believed he
would be ripe for turning but George had other ideas and his germ of an idea now began to turn

into a plan.

The first step was to open an account with an old friend, Torquil Alasdair Darrow, owner and
founder of T.A.Darrow, Private Bankers of Bruton Street. London.

Torquil and George had been good friends at University and had kept in touch. George had a room
and when funds allowed, kept a half bottle of Johnnie Walker under the sink. Torquil had a suite of
rooms and always had a couple of hand delivered bottles of Connoisseurs Choice single malt from

Gordon and Macphail on his sideboard. When Torquil had opened a private bank with his father’s
inheritance, George had opened an account specifically to fund Viktor’s operations. Now he opened
a new account for London Property Invest with instructions that he was to be contacted when the
account was activated.

The second step was to turn the Russian Courier, the dark haired woman in the photographs to
work for him without Counter Intelligence or the FBI’s knowledge.

The plan had taken shape, now George had to set it in motion.
