“So. I managed to find company for breakfast.”
“Oh? Good company?”
“Unexpected but productive, I hope. I managed to plant some seeds that might bear fruit. Hard to tell at this stage. Definitely caught the attention of our big watchdog but that was unavoidable. I do wish we had more time.”
“The time constraint has put a dampner on some ideas, I fear we won’t be able to accomplish our mission”
“It’s possible. Certainly it’s difficult to prove any degree of success if we should have any.”
She sips her drink.
“How goes your task?”
“My task has been interesting, but he seems to not have left any hints in his messages.”
She sighs.
“It’s difficult to know exactly how far to push, without risking our skins. This is a challenging assignment.”
‘Indeed. We may need to be less subtle.’
“Feel free to elaborate…”
“We know the envoy is sneaking around about something. Maybe we can use that to get a direct answer.”
“You’re suggesting we use direct pressure?”
“Granted the time restriction I’m thinking it might be our only option.”
“Interesting. Mind you, without knowing what the exchange was about, we don’t have anything with which to apply pressure other than my word.”
Oliver ponders a moment and finishes his drink. “Do you think you could bluff it?”
Lia’s turn to ponder.
“I could try but if I fail, we will have blown our only shot. Right now, he’s in a frame of mind to help me and if a little more pressure is applied, it might be enough to smear a certain person just enough to drop them off the list. For that, I may need the help of that person to really make it stick.”
“Well if we have that angle, what can I do to help?”
“Can you think of a way we could get evidence of the choices he’s making? Some way of getting him to record them in writing or… something?”
“In writing? Not unless he needed to. He seems to be too careful about it. We’d need to record him saying something I think.”
