His cover story

His cover story

Identity conflict

An excerpt

At his cabin door Jack told him to lock the pad in his safe, and have lunch with him at the special operations department dining hall. On their way there and during lunch Jack kept encouraging him, and checking time and again Yuri's reactions. He realized how disappointed Yuri is, but they have four more days together; and after Yuri will learn what he is supposed to do and how, and with his help Yuri won't feel as if he is forsaken the experienced Jack concluded with much assurance. He escorted his trainee back to his cabin, and freed him to study his instructions that no one except him in "The Farm" had to know.

I'd better see what they've in store for me. Yuri thought as he shut his cabin's door and went over to his safe.

There's sense in putting in writing my instructions and all the details that I've to know in that pad, and thus I and those who wrote it in Langley will know what's my task and cover story are. Yuri kept thinking while unlocking his safe and pulling the pad out. What if someone in Langley would turn his hide and give me up, when I'll be there in Russia…? If that will happen I'll be arrested, interrogated, tortured and put to death, without knowing who the traitor is.

He kept turning the thoughts in his mind, while sitting down next to his desk and opening the pad in front of his eyes.

Well, well my name is Akim Tmirof I'm twenty five years old, and I was born in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia; and I lived among the small Russian community there till when? It looks as if I'll have to fix the date myself. I'll better have a look at my Mongolian passport… Oh yes there's a date of my border crossing from Mongolia into Russia at Kiakhta. But why, what's the reason that forced me to cross the border. Oh here's my answer: I'd a short love affair with a teenage Mongolian Sarnai her name, that's all I know about her and I refused to marry her; or rather I promised her parents and her big and threatening brothers to marry her, and I decided to flee without leaving any traces… Who's the romantic fool that thought of such kind of an amateurish motive? If I'll be interrogated it won't hold, it will fail me right away. I'll have to think of a substantial motive, well looking for a better job will be a much better motive; yes that's what I'll claim that I want to live in my own homeland,  and I wish to have a better standard of living. It's so simple and solid, and I can't understand how they over looked such a reasonable motive. I can't believe whoever wrote that plan is that dumb, it must be some plot… But it's none of my business I'll claim that I'm unemployed plus my wish to live in my homeland. Yeah that's the best element of my cover story, but I've had enough. He summed up his first day of self briefing, and decided to go out for a thirty minutes jogging. He locked his instructions' pad in his safe, changed and left his cabin.
