   1 jodie i can see why you are concerned but i find it hard to believe that agatha could have been part
   2 of a conspiracy she was a faithful colleague in all the time i worked with her and no one ever
   3 suggested otherwise of course we ran the usual spot checks from time to time but nothing unusual was
   4 found having said that the message you found in the archive is really worrying my first thought was
   5 that she might have been acting as a double agent trying to destabilise nazi intelligence but that
   6 doesnt fit with the text it is crucial to our mission that we maintain the balance of uncertainty
   7 and direct it to our advantage make it look like she had definitely had another agenda i trawled
   8 through my own records to see if anyone else agatha and i worked with might have been involved i
   9 hate to say it but the only person of interest at the moment is charlie we worked together on the
  10 kohinoor twins case and agatha washer great aunt not that treachery is a genetic trait but in
  11 vetting circles it can be treated like it is inherited so i suppose we ought to take that seriously
  12 especially since she became pretty senior in american intelligence i checked our current case files
  13 and although she is retired she still acts as government liaison she is in london at the moment in
  14 the new embassy building which will make it difficult to get hold of her if she wants to stay hidden
  15 we cant afford to upset our us cousins and if we are wrong about her we might also poison the well
  16 when it comes to intelligence exchange they havent for given us for phil by and maclean yet so i can
  17 imagine how they would react if it turns out that one of our own is a double agent and has
  18 infiltrated their inner sanctum i sent one of the elves to take a look at her apartment in new
  19 jersey it was pretty clean as you can imagine but they were able to lift the following extract it
  20 was hard to read and even harder to decipher since she used avi genere encryption but one
  21 incriminating feature stands out even without a decrypt she used the ad morse encoding on top of the
  22 vi genere cipher i am not sure what we should do next could you get the team to take a look at the
  23 file maybe this is all a big coincidence or a misunderstanding if not then we may have to tell
  24 london and washington and i am really not looking forward to that all the best harry
