My researcher spoke to her last week and she, Long, wanted to add to the information given.” “What does she want to say?” “If I knew that I wouldn't...” “Sorry, silly question! You want to ask me about the energy drink?” “Yes, Will, any progress with your enquiries?” “Our local MP keeps badgering The Project Team but their press office are stonewalling any question he puts to them. No, I'm afraid.” “Will you make a Freedom of Information enquiry?” “No, the barrister we've retained reckons we'll do better by asking difficult questions at the Inquest.” “OK, I'll phone you after I meet up with Sergeant Long...” Spec Op Dir; FLASH SIGNAL FAO Operation PsyCoChemManip Tue, 04/08/09, 1025h Following a telephone intercept, the Coroners Officer on Subject A27, Damien Donald, has been isolated and will remain so.

“Will, it's Dr Ridge. Think about this will you, did you tell anyone about my meeting up with that police person?” “Erm, no, been at my bloody desk all morning. Why?” “When I got to her office she was said to be off-sick and not contactable.” “So?” “The desk clerk dealing with me was very nervous, sweating, wouldn't look me in the face... lying and badly so.” (LONG PAUSE)
