Opening Moves (The Red Gambit Series)
“Office, Washington D.C.
The Captain compiled a written report on the meeting that was concise and accurate, even down to the Russian’s useless joke at the end of the meeting.
The report was placed on the Lieutenant Colonel’s desk on a day he was on sick leave, and so was not processed for sending forward until the following day.
He viewed it with no great interest but sent it forward with grade 1 priority solely based on the stuff about code changing.
It was a low traffic day on the 12th, so th...e report made its way through to the FBI in Washington in record time.
The ‘stuff’ on code changing arrived and produced a seismic wave at Project Venona, a joint US Army-FBI attempt to decode Soviet communications. Not only was it a heads-up that change was possible it was also indicative of the fact that the Soviets were sensing an extra pair of eyes reading their private thoughts.
The report also took other routes at a more leisurely pace.
It was Friday the 13th by the time it arrived in the FBI building.MoreLess
