“Is it?”

“I now ask the same of you, Mr. Weaver. Some privacy.”

Milo nodded.

“Until about a year ago, Ms. Yates and I were also close friends—which, I imagine, is why I haven’t just shot you and handed your body to the Americans. I, too, would like to know the truth.”

“I’m glad.”

“My point is that I tried to get her to do the same thing. Sell secrets.” She shook her head, biting her lip. “I find it very surprising that Angela would sell them to the Chinese. In fact, I’m sure she wouldn’t.”

“I agree,” he said, then stopped. A year ago … “Oh.”

Morel sat up. “What?”

This was the woman Angela had dated, who had left her with a broken heart. Morel had broken her heart by showing that their affair had simply been a way to turn her. “Nothing. Go on.”

She let it go. “Angela wouldn’t sell to us, but she did work with someone else. We spotted her having meetings with a man.”

“A red beard,” Milo said.

Morel frowned, then shook her head. “No. Why do you say that?”

“Just a hunch. Go on.”

“The man she met with was clean shaven. An old man. Turns out our friend Angela was a double agent of sorts.”

Milo stared back. “Who for?”

“For the United Nations.”

He wanted to laugh, but it was too ludicrous even for that. “You mean Interpol. That would make sense.”

“No. I mean she worked for the United Nations.”

“Really,” he said, finally smiling nervously. “The United Nations has no intelligence agency. Maybe she was getting information from them.”

Morel rocked her head from side to side. “That’s what we thought at first. She met with someone from the UNESCO office here in Paris. His name is Yevgeny Primakov.”

“Primakov?” Milo said dumbly.
