The Kremlin Letter by Noel; Behn Read Free Book Online Page B

one major taboo in modern intelligence organizations, it was an agent examining his own investigation.
    Rone looked up. Ward had already closed the first suitcase and was busy opening the second. It was crammed full with packs of money. Ward threw a couple at Rone and said, “Start counting.”
    Rone counted the old twenty-dollar bills. There were ten thousand dollars in each bundle. Within half an hour he had counted an additional one hundred and ninety thousand in tens and twenties. He had no idea how much Ward had counted. He handed Ward the paper with his additions and then helped him put the money back in the suitcase.
    â€œYou better get some sleep, Nephew,” Ward said. “You may be getting an early call.”
    Rone started for the stairs.
    â€œHey, don’t you want this?” Ward called, holding up the security clearance.
    Rone walked over, took it, and went upstairs to his room.
    Later, as he lay upon the starched sheets, he began reading it:
