Gathering his wits, he closed the report. "McGarvey was here in Moscow and nobody did anything to catch him?"

"A great many Muscovites went to Nizhny Novgorod last week to see Tarankov's bloody spectacle, so it's possible that Mr. McGarvey was there. But since nothing happened, we're assuming he came here on a scouting trip, and has since left Russia--possibly back to France--where he is making his plans."

"Has McGarvey's photograph been distributed to train stations, airports, hotels, border crossings?

"Nyet," Mazayev said heavily, and a look passed between him and Korzhakov.

"What is it, Comrade Generals?" Chernov asked.

"The fact of the matter is that Tarankov has many supporters in all walks of life,"

Yuryn answered.

"All the more reason to make McGarvey's photograph available. You would have an army of patriots willing to help save his life."

"An odd word to use--patriot--Bykov," Kabatov said.

"They believe that they are patriots, Comrade President," Chernov replied.

"Are you one?"

"No, Mr. President," Chernov said. "But if we are to catch McGarvey, extraordinary measures will have to be taken. As you said, he has caused the Rodina a great deal of harm. It must mean he is very good at what he does." "The best," Yuryn said.

"Then it won't be easy. Who can I trust?"

"Us in this room," Korzhakov said. "If you need something, you'll have to get it from us."

"To avoid any confusion, I think that I should work with only one of you."

"I agree," Kabatov said. "Since it was General Yuryn who suggested you, he will be your liaison to the rest of us."

"Very well. Are the files. I need at Lefortovo?"

"Yes," Yuryn said.

"Who is this assistant of mine?"

"Aleksi Paporov. He's as good as they come. His English and French are flawless, he's a computer whiz and he knows how to keep his mouth shut."

"All that is good, Comrade General, but who does he report to?"

"Why, you, of course," Yuryn said.

"Who else?"

"No one."

Chernov turned to the others, his blood singing. "My methods tend to be unorthodox, comrades. But if I am allowed to do this my way, I will catch this assassin before he reaches Tarankov."

"Then I suggest you get started," Kabatov said.

"One final thing, Mr. President," Chernov said. "I would like a letter signed by you, giving me complete authority in this investigation. My methods might seem more than unusual to some people. I don't want any delays getting special authorizations."
