“My name is Richard. My friends call me… Well, I really do not have any true friends. You see, I am a spy at the highest level in the CIA. I trust no one. I am Deputy Director Plans. Don’t be fooled by my administrative sounding title. I plan every covert CIA operation and I train killers and spies alike to be the most ruthless killers on the earth. As you might expect, my co-workers don’t invite me to their home for dinner or a cookout.

Oddly enough, I have a unique friendship with my counterpart in the Soviet KGB. While we are enemies, we understand each other completely. We each know when the other is lying or telling the truth. We have established a “back channel” between our governments to head off escalating tensions between super powers.

Last night Deputy Chairman of the KGB, Iacov Vondarev, called me at two in the morning, “Richard, Premiere Khrushchev is very concerned about your young President Kennedy. Khrushchev will not admit it but he admires Kennedy for calmly standing up to him during the missile crisis. He feels the world is much safer with Kennedy in the White House.

Richard, we have positive proof of a rouge operation within the highest levels of the United States government. Its code name is Eternal Flame. The person running it is very close to President Kennedy. Operation Eternal Flame’s mission is to KILL PRESIDENT KENNEDY!
