Alexi did have to chuckle a bit at Archibald's response. "What you call service to country, I'm fairly sure the GRU calls conter-revolutionary espionage.  Perhaps even wrecking, if they can make that stick.  And I know that the German Federal Police believed what I was doing was against the German Basic Law, even if Moscow didn't agree with that interpretation."  He reached for his tea, taking a little sip as he looked around.  He still expected the hit squad at any moment, but at least they were letting him enjoy the morning a bit.<br/><br/>"But, yes, what is it you want to offer us?"
