The Lieutenant general of Winterfield turned away from the television and faced the Deputy Prime Minister.

"All we hear on the television is about the Prime Minister's death." The Deputy Prime Minister made an observation. He sounded like he was getting tired of it. It was only the first day of news about the Prime Minister's death.

"Speaking of his death, I was informed by the Deputy Assistant Commissioner that Danielle Watson was transferred to the National Crime Agency Headquarters on a mission with the highest possible security clearance. What she was doing was so top-secret, I was informed, that neither the Director of the N.C.A here in London knew what she was doing."

"Very interesting."

"And there is more Mr. Deputy Prime Minister. When I asked the Director about the place that she came from, he told me that he was unable to discuss Ms. Watson's activities with me without the specific permission of the Top Chief of the National Security Council of the United Kingdom."

The Deputy Prime Minister's furrowed his brows and wondered.

What does the Top Chief of the National Security Council of the United Kingdom has to do with any of this?
