Usually, Prokop received instructions to meet the Red Envoy in some unexpected place. This was the first time that his superior had ever come to the apartment.
“No one suspects who you are?” The Red Envoy’s question came suddenly to Prokop’s ears.
“No,” replied Prokop. “I call myself Henry Propert.”
“You take every precaution regarding our agents?” asked the Red Envoy.
“Every precaution. Even the agents do not know each other. Each one reports to me, individually, at the meeting place.
“I am always masked. I identify each agent before he goes into the meeting room. All are masked when they assemble.”
“Good!” The Red Envoy’s statement carried a tone of satisfaction. “You must keep your identity a secret from your subordinate just as I keep my identity a secret from you.”
Prokop nodded.
“You have done well,” commended the Red Envoy. “I shall mention you in my report to Moscow.
“But you have not yet told me about the case of Jonathan Graham. I came here to learn about it.”
