Not what, Monk? A saboteur? An attempted murderer? Or at the very least mixed up with one? He felt his temper stir. Why not? Because his familys rich and influential and hes a wizard Grand Master? Because even though you loathe him you went through university together and that means you belong to some kind of wizardly brotherhood? Because hes one of us?

Dont be a bloody idiot, Monk retorted. Thats got nothing to do with it. Its just I know Errol and Im telling you, Gerald, this isnt his style. Hes got no reason to

Actually, he does, he replied. Errols got a lot invested in Wycliffes. Hes head of Research and Development and this new project hes working on, the Ambrose Mark VI, could put his name up in lights on the international stage. But only if the public loses confidence in portal travel, bringing back the age of the airship.

You have to admit, Monk, Melissande said softly. It does make sense.

Monk tugged his fingers through his hair. I dont know, Gerald. It sounds pretty far-fetched to me, Errol and Haf Rottlezinder in cahoots to bring down Ottoslands portal system and return Wycliffes to its glory days. I mean, whats in it for Haf?

Money, he said. Errols rich enough to make it more than worth Rottlezinders while.

True, Monk admitted reluctantly. All right thenwheres your evidence? Besides the fact they knew each other at university?

Trust Monk to find the weak spots in the Departments argument. We havent found any yet. But that doesnt mean we wont.

I dont understand, said Melissande. If youre so sure this Haf Rottlezinder is behind the portal incidents, why dont you bring him in for questioning?

What a shame Melissande was no less astute than Monk. We cant.

Because hes in West Uphantica? But I thought your Department had all kinds of international extradition arrangements?

Abruptly tired of standing, Gerald dropped into the other armchair. We do.

Hang on, said Monk. Is Rottlezinder in West Uphantica?

He was.

But hes not now? You mean you lost him?

Well done, said Reg. Thats the kind of competence were looking for in a secret government Department.

No, hes not lost, he said, giving Reg a look. We just dont have a definite location for him at the moment.

Gerald, that means you lost him, said Bibbie. How terribly careless of you.

So what happened? said Monk. Im guessing nothing good.

Gerald frowned at his interlaced fingers, remembering the look in Sir Alecs eyes when hed come to this part of the mission briefing. One of our best men was sent in to extract Rottlezinder, quickly and quietly. It didnt work out. Rottlezinder had already goneand he left a nasty little surprise behind him.

The fatal kind? said Monk.

Looking up, he nodded. Im afraid so.

Now Monk gave Bibbie a vaguely disquieted glance. As though he were having sudden second thoughts about his little sister getting mixed up with this kind of ugliness.

Forget it, Monk, Bibbie snapped, glaring. Im staying. Try and push me aside and Ill tell Uncle Ralph about the Mushtarkan diplomats cousin and the

Hey! said Monk, sitting bolt upright.
