The Slave

(in two parts)


Good morning, Mr. Phelps.  As you know, for the past twenty years the United Nations has worked throughout the Near East to abolish slave markets.   These efforts have been successful except in Elkabar, a small country on the Persian Gulf whose ruler, Ibn Borca, an absolute monarch, continues to auction thousands of human beings into slavery each year.  Borca's principal source of slaves is this man, Karl de Groot.  His raids into nearby nations to abduct free men and women into slavery could aggravate the tense situation in the Near East.  Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to stop this traffic in slaves and rid Elkabar of de Groot and Borca.  As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.  This recording will self-destruct in five seconds.  Good luck, Jim.
