The Traitor



Good morning, Mr. Briggs.  Edward Hughes, an American intelligence officer, has defected to the enemy and taken refuge in their embassy here.  Hughes took with him a top-secret message before we had a chance to decode it.  We believe the information in that message to be vital.  The sender of the message has died.  Hughes himself does not know the code, so Victor Belson, one of the enemy's best cryptographers, is on his way to the embassy now.  Belson is unknown to the personnel there.   The mission, Dan, should you decide to accept it, would be to get the message back before the enemy deciphers it, and get Hughes out of the embassy in such a way as to discredit any other information he may give them.  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, Dan.
