Previous chapter: Chapter 103: Slade 123
Derek entered the embassy through the front door, buzzed through to the staff stairs and raced to his room quickly. He would need to know the protocols, which he had on his computer but had not memorized. It also occurred to him that he should get a message to C, and should do it before he contacted the head of security here just in case the conspiracy was bigger than he already knew. The problem was getting a message through. He could contact the CIA at the American Embassy, but the protocols to do that were going to be time consuming, and he did not have time. He decided to send an e-mail. He had the address of C’s secretary, so he decided to write to her.
Dear Aunt Mandy. It’s your nephew Kyler Bryant, writing from his boring post in Romania. I think I’ve learned what I came to learn and would love it if I could come home soon, but I expect it won’t happen that quickly. I had coffee today with a member of the security detail, named Richard Williams. Nice guy, oversees Ambassador Morris’ daughter Samantha’s detail and helps her with her love life. He gives her candy for her boyfriend and lets them get a bit of time alone together. I hope he’s all right—he didn’t look well when I left him. Well, give Uncle C my best, and tell him I hope to see him soon.
Hopefully that would get through all right. Next he reviewed his protocols, memorized the essential ones.
He was just about to shut down when he realized that there was one more thing he could do. He would need Williams’ file, and a few lines of code, and a quick send, and that should do it.
He headed for the main security office.
