“I’m not doubting you for a second, young lady,” Allison said, “but there is no way in hell I’m giving anyone a copy of Noah’s file. My God, do you know how many laws we had to break just to create Noah Wolf? Let alone the fact that that file contains after-action reports on every mission he’s undertaken.”
“Of course not,” Molly said. “You’d never give up the real file, because it contains the genuine, truly damaging information, like about his condition. Heaven help us if that ever got out, but give me a couple of weeks, and I can put together a genuine-looking file that will describe an entirely different person than the Noah Wolf we all know and love. We give that file to Mitchell, and he carries it to the mole.” She shook her head, as if having an epiphany. “Oh, it’s so perfect! The mole doesn’t even have to expose himself directly; he’ll do it indirectly the moment he tries to use that information to compromise Noah. I’ll build in a way he can contact Noah that will seem undetectable, but it’ll actually be a trap that will trace right back to the origin of the contact.” She spun around and looked at Neil. “You! Computer boy! I need your help, you game?”
“Yeah,” Neil said, his eyes wide. “Of course.”
Allison looked at Molly, then turned to Donald Jefferson. “Donald? Opinion?”
“Ms. Hansen has impressed me since we brought her on board,” Jefferson said. “I have to say this sounds like the best idea I can imagine any of us coming up with. The question in my mind is whether we dare to let it out of this room. If we even tell one person at the CIA, there’s a pretty good chance our target is going to know about it before it ever gets off the ground.”
“And that’s why we’re not telling anyone,” Allison said. “That’s an order, people. This idea stays completely within this room, which means it doesn’t get discussed anywhere else, or with anyone who isn’t here right now. Neil, if you’re willing to help Molly, I’ll let the two of you work out the details. Jenny, you keep an eye on Randy, and Noah—tell you what, we’ll start Sarah seeing Doctor Parker week after next. Noah, why don’t you take that girl on a vacation somewhere.”
Noah looked at her for a moment, then turned and whispered something to Sarah. Sarah’s eyes went wide and she sat back suddenly, but then a smile spread across her face and she nodded vigorously.
“How about this,” Noah said. “I’m going to run down to the courthouse and get a marriage license. Allison, do you happen to know a JP or a preacher who might be willing to drop whatever he’s doing to perform a wedding?” He grinned at Sarah. “I think I’d really prefer to take her on our honeymoon, rather than just a vacation.”
