Spy Thriller (VII)



July 21, 2007

Scotland Yard Internal Memo

"For Your Eyes Only"

From: SO13, Anti-Terrorism Branch
To: SO10, Covert Operations

The presumption that squirrels may be working as spy agents for enemy countries has been recently leaked to the media. (Below is the link to one such story). Our branch is currently working on finding out who leaked such information. However, as the moment of writing these lines the source of the leak hasn't yet been identified.

In the meantime, our Department of Counter Information has managed very well in their mission: stop the news from spreading by dismissing the information. The Russian KGB believes it's a joke, the Israeli Mossad laughed at it while the CIA has regarded the idea as crazy and "non-sense".

Have all your agents overseas report immediately to their posts and instruct them to deny any involvement on squirrel hunting should they be captured behind enemy lines.
