THERE'S NOT MUCH IN THIS WORLD LEFT TO INTEREST AN OLD SPY LIKE ME. A FEW QUESTIONS I STILL THINK OVER. ONE IN PARTICULAR FROM WHEN I WORKED FOR THE AUFKLARUNG, OUR FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE WING.

SECOND-TO-NONE IN THEIR PLANNING AND EFFICIENCY. WHAT'S MORE, THEY NEVER FAILED. AND I'M TOLD THEY ARE STILL IN EXISTENCE, BUT THAT'S ONLY RUMOUR, OF COURSE. YOU HAD TIME AFTER I CALLED YOU. WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN? WHERE SHOULD I RUN FROM SECTION 15, MR. COLE? I CAN HARDLY WALK. BEFORE WE COULD GET CHESTERFIELDS, I SMOKED 60 MACHORKAS A DAY. FILTHY SOVIET THINGS. KILLED MORE RUSSIANS THAN STALIN. MY DOCTORS ASSURE ME I'LL SOON BE JOINING THEIR LIST OF CASUALTIES. I WANT TO KNOW HOW HE FOUND YOU. I WANT EVERY NAME, EVERY SOURCE YOU CONTACTED ON HIS BEHALF.
