I figured Mother Country would be watching our schedules, and I was concerned having him come down here would look too suspicious.” “Hence the call to fix the broken desk latch. Very smart.” He turned to the record displayed on the screen. “You’re right. This wouldn’t be authorized for dissenters or persons of treason.
