Dear Agent D;
I've taken every precaution I can in getting this to you undetected, and be assured I wouldn't be contacting you if the situation weren't urgent. I am well aware of the delicate position you are in, but it isn't nearly as hazardous as the one my son is in.
We've spoken before about an internal investigation into the S.U., but recent events have forced me to push the issue with you. Even if the incident with the flying seafood has not proven good faith, I'm sure that you find the idea of these people endangering innocent lives as unacceptable as I do. You don't need to have a child of your own in danger to appreciate the threat they pose.
Please. Whatever steps you're taking to root these people out, hurry. I've included a clipping from the Tulsa World that should prove how dangerous they are. If they've taken up drive-by shootings, what's next?
J.V.

Dear J.V.;
The flying seafood was more than enough. Don't worry; I won't forget what they did for us no matter how much I want to forget the rest of it. I'm doing everything I can, but its slow going. The existence of the S.U. was classified at the highest levels until that fiasco that got them disbanded. Even finding a list of their names is difficult, but the director himself has taken an interest. Apparently, even the possibility of rogue agents is too big a risk.
The Bureau has had too much negative publicity in the recent past to not take this seriously. The scandal involving these people was particularly bad for us. We'll do what we can, in the meantime, though; I can't give you any details.
Hopefully soon;
D.
INTERNAL MEMO
FBI Central office, Washington, D.C.

FROM: T. Lewis
SUBJECT: Investigation protocol
Sir; it has come to my attention that a potential violation in protocol has occurred in a kidnapping case handled almost a year ago by special agent Duff (case no. 5514). Evidence at this stage is sketchy, but I believe she may have deliberately withheld vital information pertaining to that case. I realize the serious nature of this charge, but I feel strongly that the case needs to be reexamined.
As you are now the regional director, she is under your authority. I am notifying you directly, following protocol as closely as I can, given the highly unusual circumstances of the case. Should an official review of special agent Duff's actions become necessary a review of her continuing correspondence with J. Valenti, the Roswell sheriff who was dismissed over his mishandling of the case, may be in order.
