'The new boss'

An excerpt of my 10th book "AN IRRETRIEVABLE STEP."

'We're going to meet the new organization head and I'll introduce you to him, so don't update me; he wants to know what's going on and I'll listen to your report.' Dov said and rose to his feet. 'Let's go.'

'This is Joe Shraga he's just returned from Europe and met our couple.'

'I'm glad to know you Joe and do sit down both of you.' Shraga ordered them and waited till they sat down opposite him on the other side of his desk.

'Okay I've heard all there was to hear about that peculiar couple, about their marriage and the fact she serves us with open eyes. I'll refer to him alone…' He declared and made a short pause. 'Well he had two long years of training in which he has excelled I'm told, and two years abroad the first one to acquire a language and establish his cover, but what has he brought us after his fourth year of service…?'

'Well it takes time Shraga.' Joe reminded the organization new head that success is not reached without patience.

'Yes and it took a huge amount of money too.'

'I can't deny it of course.' Joe admitted. 'But I believe that our investment is justified, we'll get the profits that we expect to have… You must take into account the fact that they serve the enemy…'

'So what, will the Egyptians send them over here to spy on us, is that what you want to say?'

'I'm not a prophet Shraga, and I can't predict how this case is going to develop. After all he was supposed to open a business in Alexandria and things changed drastically and he was recruited by their current Western Europe head agent. We can't underestimate such an incredible development. They trust him and I suggest to wait and see how they'll decide to use them.'

'What about her, she's a catholic and she knows who he really is? What a degree of loyalty can she have towards us? Love is fickle she may fall in love with some Egyptian, they could trap them or test them in such a way.'

'I agree Shraga this kind of life that they're leading is hazardous, but I believe in the bond that exists between the two of them. If you still have doubts call it off, and cancel his contract.'

'I'm giving him one more year, and if they'll keep using them for their absurd ends, I'll call it off and it will be the end of your career too Joe.'
