The Big Breach; From Top Secret to Maximum SecurityCompliments of http://www.192.comWe knew from telephone transcripts that Constantine kept a copy of theplans in the locked top drawer of his desk. Once I saw him take themout and refer to them in a conversation with Kiddie. Later thatevening, back in the office, I read the transcript and learned thatthey were trying to figure out the specifications of a glass valve,whose number was obscured on the plans. MOD experts in chemical weaponshelped me work out the exact specifications of the part and trackeddown the companies - one in Germany and two in Switzerland - that couldsupply it.A few days later, doing my best to appear interested in a thick sheafof bills of lading, I was straining to listen in to a Constantine phoneconversation with Kiddie. She was doing most of the talking and whenConstantine could get in a word edgeways it was to apologise for theslow progress. Eventually, Constantine blurted out `Listen Joyce, I'vereally done my best on the project but I'm stuck. I know somebody whocan help us though, and he's sitting right here in this office.' Theyconferred for a while longer and after he hung up Constantine called meacross. `Hey, Alex, I've a problem you could perhaps help me with.'`Really?' I replied, trying to sound laconic, and ambled over to hisdesk where he had laid out the plans.`What do you make of this?' Constantine asked, eying me hopefully.They were intimately familiar to me, so I had to feign puzzlement,studying them for a few minutes. `Seems like they're the plans for somekind of chemicals plant. Something corrosive, because of all theglassware. I'd guess it's for something like an aspirin plant,' Iproferred.Constantine looked delighted. `Spot on, but do you know what that partis?' he asked, pointing to the mystery valve. I rattled back itsspecifications and where it could be sourcd. `You really do know yourstuff, don't you?' replied Constantine. `Listen, I've got a friend whoneeds some help with this project. Would you like to give her a hand?'`Sure,' I replied, trying my best to hide my glee.Within minutes Constantine had rung Kiddie back and introduced me overthe phone. After a brief chat she invited me to go up to visit her inGirton.Walking back into the office later that evening, Badger gave me thethumbs up, having already seen the transcript. `Good stuff,' hegrinned. `We need to plan the next phase - let's pop out for a breathof fresh air.' This was Badger's euphemism for a cigarette. Smoking wasbanned in the new office, so smokers were limited to the bar or thefire stairwells.Ìf you must,' I sighed with mock exasperation, contemplating the cold,drafty stairwell.As Badger lit up, we went over the progress made so far. We already hada good idea of what to expect in meeting Kiddie, as we'd been readingher telephone conversations for the past three months andpage- 137 - To purchase the original limited edition hardback version of this bookplease call 08000 192 192 or go to http://www.192.com
The Big Breach; From Top Secret to Maximum SecurityCompliments of http://www.192.comCambridgeshire SB, one of whose officers was a close friend of hersecond husband Len Ingles, had provided a helpful report. `Kiddiereally depends on Len,' Badger said. `She never does anything withoutfirst discussing it with him. If you want to win her trust, you'll alsohave to win his. Build something into your cover story that will pullhim in.'Ì'll go up on a motorbike then,' I suggested. `Len's passionate aboutbikes: if I turn up on one he'll immediately take an interest.'My own motorbike: a battered high-mileage Honda Africa Twin, was ruledout by SBO5 as it was registered in my own name, so a few days later Ihired a powerful Honda Fireblade from Metropolitan Motorcycles, adealer opposite Vauxhall Cross in one of the railway viaduct archesthat lie under the main south-west line. It was a clear, brisk butsunny February day, and perfect for motorcycling. Speeding up the M11to Girton, I thought to myself how lucky I was to have such a greatjob. BELLHOP was going well, Badger was a good boss and the atmospherein the section was cheerful and friendly, unlike the mistrustingenvironment of the secretive East European controllerate. The problemsin Bosnia were forgotten and I was enjoying socialising more.Kiddie's personal file was stuffed with SB photographs of her house, soit was easy to find in the pretty village of Girton. She heard mypowerful motorbike pull up on her gravel drive and came out of thehouse to greet me with a friendly handshake. A slightly plump, middleagedwoman, dressed in tight leggings that did not do much for her, shewas not a likely person to be the centre of a complicated secretservice operation. Ì am so glad you've come up, Alex,' she exhortedjollily, Àlbert has told me all about you! We've been struggling formonths on this project.' Her appearance and voice were so familiar fromthe file and telephone intercepts that it felt strange to meet herpersonally, like meeting a famous film star. She ushered me into herstudy and, over a mug of Nesquick, explained her project. The detailswere intimately familiar, so I had to fake curiosity and surprise asthe story unfolded.Kiddie moved on to her meeting earlier in the year with Fahd inAmsterdam. Ìt was so funny, I arrived at the hotel and it was allclosed down for cleaning!' she giggled. Ì had to go into the closedoff area to wait for Mr Fahd!' She even remembered the inconvenienthold up at Stansted airport on her return. `They went through all myknickers, the little perverts. But apparently they were only lookingfor drugs,' she added obliviously. She was completely unsuspicious ofme; as we had hoped, Constantine's recommendation was sufficient forher to trust me. And as we suspected from the telephone transcripts,she was unaware that she was being manipulated by Fahd and Manbar intoillegal dealings.Only half an hour or so into the meeting, Kiddie suggested that Ishould meet Fahd. Ì've been struggling for months with this project,getting nowhere,' she continued. Ì'm also really busy with my charitywork and I've had enough of travelling. It would be great if you couldhelp out.'`Sure,' I replied, trying to sound cautiously enthusiastic. `How shouldwe proceed?'page- 138 - To purchase the original limited edition hardback version of this bookplease call 08000 192 192 or go to http://www.192.com
