Popov’s fake Yugoslav Legation seal.

As April rolled on, Johnny received evidence that he was in the clear. Dr. Schreiber phoned and told Johnny that Oberst Kuebart in Berlin had requested that Jebsen meet with Schreiber and a Major Bohlen, administrative head of the war stations, in Biarritz on April 21. Johnny initially sensed it was a trap and demurred, suggesting that such a meeting would be unwise since it might blow his cover. He explained that the British knew that diplomats only operated in Lisbon and Madrid, and if he went to France it would reveal that he was more than a civilian.

It was a feeble excuse, but Schreiber seemed mollified and offered exciting news: IVAN’s last report had made a tremendous impression on Berlin, he said, and Kuebart had agreed to pay Popov’s financial demand. Aloys was authorized to give Johnny $75,000 now, the other half coming after IVAN produced the information in his questionnaire. Even better, Schreiber added, Jebsen was to be awarded a medal—the KVK* first class.
