The first message was odd. It came to Commisioner’s Karlson’s personal communication and, when opened, seemed to be an odd assortment of numbers and characters in multiple languages. It made no sense.
Until the second message arrived a few moments later. That message was heavily encrypted, but the first message melded with it and it became clear.
“Commissioner,
Please excuse the short notice; but I have a need to speak with you, privately, on a matter of great importance to you, the Colonial Government, and the colony as a whole. I do not know who else to go to with this information, but I assure you it’s importance cannot be overstated. Please meet me tomorrow at the Russian Tea Room at 8 pm. I’m sure you are aware of the place. I will have a private room at the back. Please come alone. Again, the matter is most sensitive. Thank you, Commisioner. Your dedication to the colony is a testament to your department.”
The message was unsigned and no reply was possible.
The restaurant was known… to most of the officers and detectives that worked with Oed Police Organized Crime division. The Russian Tea Room was a sanctuary of sorts for high-end fences, information brokers, and the creme de la creme of criminal operators. It was not the only Russian Tea Room, far from it. But anywhere there was a market high-brow enough, you would find one. The fact that the head of the Oed Police was being asked to actually come in to the place led credibility to the anonymous request… and its sender.
