Come and see: How I will change the world. Come and See: How I will burn it to the ground. Come and see: How the apocalypse begins. Come and see how all you know and loves dies. Come and see: fear in a handful of dust.

We meet up with the asset. Contrary to expectations, he didn't get Hezbollah's patented Buckley treatment. He go much worse. A counselling session with Russia's very own Anton Chigurh. The end result can be summed up by the lyrics of a good song. "Words Can Kill".......

Chapter 43 done. The level of dread has just shot through the roof. Asset got knocked off the board due to their significant other losing their nerve and taking the bait. She forgot that she's dealing with the men who once pumped the CIA station chief with LSD and drove the man insane.

Fewer things can make a spy fiction enthusiast swear internally than having an asset blown. And the man holding the paper is Russia's very own Oliver North, albeit one with galactic sized nihilism.
