FROM INDIA WITH LOVE part 3

It was a cold overcast day in central London when Crown left his apartment and drove his AC Cobra to the secret service building and parked it in his usual spot. Instead of using the lift he climbed the stairs to the third floor and entered his office where his secretary Lois Proudfoot immediately looked relieved to see him The chief of staff wants you. He's with Mr Noon now so can you go to see him now. Crown didn't stop to question her but went straight to Noon's office. Noon was the head of the secret service and had Crown's great respect.
Noon's secretary told him to go straight in. The chief of staff was on his way out and greeted Crown. See you for lunch hopefully he said and made way for Crown.
Come in Crown and sit down. Noon was looking through the office window and slowly swivelled round in his red leather chair. He had a folder in his hands and handed it to Crown. That's for you to study after this meeting. Something's come up, and I need you to take charge of the matter. We have a double agent working in the Russian embassy in Mumbai. She is really one of ours and we have been feeding her information of sufficient quality to make her appear to be effective in working for the Russian service. The FSB. She has been accepted by them and she has access to something of great value, which she says she could obtain. But that would be the end of her operation there and she would need to leave the place pretty quickly for fear of retribution.
This is where you come in Crown. I want you to help her carry out the procurement of the vital machinery and get her and yourself out of the country.
You will find travel tickets in that folder. You will leave for India tomorrow morning
Are you happy to do this operation BLUE9?
Noon sometimes called Crown by his code number and usually when there was a job to be done.
Yes sir. Of course.

Part 4 next and the excitement builds. Crown meets double agent.
