One by one, the Red agents arrived. Each was submitted to a brief questioning by Prokop. Each gave his designated letter.

Seven of them had entered the inner chamber; yet Prokop still waited. A tap at the door. Prokop responded with the signal. A girl came in — she was the girl known as Arlette DeLand.

“Agent R,” she announced.

“Correct,” replied Prokop.

The girl donned one of the robes.

“Report,” said Prokop.

“I have met Bruce Duncan,” said the girl.

“What have you learned?”

“Nothing, as yet.”

“You have had sufficient time.”
