Hello.

Yes Sir, The Maid Sir.

No, Sir.  Still no word on the whereabouts of Bristow. She hasn't called in for several days.  No sign of her at the house or any of the usual haunts.  Could this just be a mission that has run longer than simulated?

Oh, I wasn't aware that she was not on assignment.

No, Sir.  Haven't heard much from W…  uhm ...I mean Tippin in the past couple of days either.

No messages.  He hasn't stopped by the house.  No one at his work has heard from him either.  I took the initiative to call, posing as a friend.

Yes, sir that is strange.

No, I don't think that Bristow and Tippin are fighting.  Their relationship seemed normal the last time observed.  They both seem to be really busy.

NO.  I mean no, Sir.  I am not making excuses for them. 

Uhm. Well uhm….

Yes, I remember my job.  It is important to the CIA that every one of its operatives be monitored. 

Yes, I understood that when I was recruited two years ago.  It's just that Sir….

Yes, I understand.

Uhuh.

No, I am not requesting to be pulled off from this assignment.  If I may be so bold, I am just reminded that almost a year ago uhm…Mr. Hecht died because he found out the truth.

Yes.

Right.

Yes, I understand that my job is to watch over her to make sure that she doesn't slip up again. 

Well, then Sir…

Yes Sir.  Please tell Mr. Sloane he has nothing to worry about.  And I'm truly sorry about his wife. 

Yes.  I will continue my updates.  If Bristow is heard from I will notify you.

Sir, has anyone checked the whereabouts of her father?  Just thought I'd ask, because, well, he usually checks in with Sy…Bristow once a week and he hasn't this week.

Ok, Sir.  I will keep you informed. 

Yes, I have that in my calendar.  Security Section Meeting, Thursday at 3:00.  See you there, Sir.

 Goodbye.
