From: Dr. Elizabeth Director
Director of Operations, Global Justice
To: Marshal Stephen. Law, RAF (ret)
Undersecretary for Global Justice
The Secretariat, United Nations Headquarters, New York
Regarding: Operation Midas
Marshal Law,
In July of this year, you invited me to join your staff at the Secretariat. I appreciated your candor when you told me directly that you wanted me to succeed you as Undersecretary for Global Justice upon your imminent retirement.
For two weeks, I threw myself into the job. Your staff is dedicated and professional. It is possible to feel the pulse of diplomacy and history in that building. Plus to actually live and work in Manhattan has an appeal that no other city on earth can touch.
However, I must decline for several reasons.
First, there was the recent disastrous mission known as Operation Midas. The call that drew me back to GJHQ at 4:00 a.m. where I discovered that one of my agents had died and my organization lost five of its best people due to injury. Plus of the two intended targets, the lesser threat was now dead and his father was now among the most dangerous people on the planet.
Second, my brother, Sheldon Director and his criminal organization. Also known as Gemini and the Worldwide Evil Empire. Until they can be neutralized, they always will be a threat to myself, and to whatever organization I am in. If I am moved to the Secretariat, it will only be a matter of time before that becomes their target.
Third, while I am flattered that you would want me to be your successor, I'm not ready to step that far from the action myself. As such, I have failed to prepare a successor for myself in GJ. No, that isn't correct. I had at least two candidates in mind for my position several years down the line, but now both are out of Global Justice.
Fourth, you don't need a cop or a soldier for your position. You need to find a diplomat who understands that the job is about justice and security, not politics.
On a related matter, I am including the reports regarding Operation Midas. You are the only person outside GJHQ to have these documents. You helped me a lot when I was starting out in this business. Can you help me now? How could I have been so blind to the jealousy within my own ranks? How can I keep it from happening again?
I sure could use your sage advice once again, chief.
Always at your service,
Betty

Author's Note
Yes, Betty was hoping that one day either Wil or Kim would succeed her as GJ Director. She thought there was a simple rivalry between the two, which would push each of them to do better. Instead, it was insane jealousy, at least on the part of Du, which drove him to sabotage Kim's work. Even at the expense of the mission.
