The Reluctant Agent
A Compelling Story of Espionage
Back in his office the phone was ringing. All the questions and answers would
now start, Will was thinking.
It was Ed. "There's been a minor slip-up, we think he's heading your way."
"Too late Ed, he's been here trying to kill everybody. Can't you folks ever get
it right first time?"
"It was immigration that fouled up, they arrived too late and he was on to them.
Has he hurt you?"
"No."
"That's a relief, we believe he's carrying a gun. I must get going, I'll see you
outside the factory at 4.30 p.m."
Will sat down his stomach turning to knots, and his mouth went dry. What if
Stefan had pulled a gun? He shook his head to try and remove the thought from
his mind.
Will took two of the women and went to see Joanna at home and found her
in a terrible state. Leaving the women with her he knew that it would only be a
matter of time before she would realize Stefan would never be around to abuse
her, and she could get on with a normal life. Everyone at the factory thought it was
just another internal dispute. They would never know the truth of the matter.
Ed was sitting in his car at 4.30 p.m. a wide grin on his face. "That information
was red hot, and they even uncovered more. They've taken six others in that are
implicated. Incidentally, how did Stefan know that you were involved?"
"I just had to do things quickly, and left myself wide open. I won't do that
again. They won't let him out will they?"
"No way! He'll be deported when he has served time, what they were plotting
to do would make you shudder!"
Will got out of the car in Toorak Road. "Don't call me, I'll call you." Ed
smiled and drove away.
The move to the new factory will be welcome now, he was thinking, as he
walked home eager to see Dorothy.
