You leave your hotel room after getting ready and meet Mr. Suyong at a little cafe a few minutes past noon.  There, you discuss your new partnership.  You are to act as his representative in Rome, starting tomorrow at 6:00 AM..  He gets up and leaves you.  You remember the paper you got from Colonel Sarkhov, you take it out of your purse and look at it.  The paper is in Russian, but that's ok--you speak Russian!  You read it:  "April 18, 12:00 sharp--be there.  --Lindo Suyong"
You laugh, Lindo Suyong is Mr. Suyong's daughter.  You crumple up the paper and throw it in the trash.
You order another espresso, the waitor brings it to you.  You spill espresso on it and curse.  No matter, it wasn't important anyway.
You figure it's worth investigating and put it back in your pocket.  You finish your espresso and leave.
