Napoleon had just finished his call to Mark when Illya entered their office.

"What the hell happened out there?"

Illya sank into his chair.

"I was, of course, not there when our first agent died, but I can hazard a guess that the THRUSH man was after him and not to intercept the drop."

While Napoleon was supervising April's runs, runs were normally assigned by Agent Walters, so Napoleon had no idea which agent they'd lost.

"Who was it?"

"Jon Downs."

"Tim Jennings is not going to take his partner's death well."

'Which of us do, tovarich?"
