Altaf, I don't have much time to explain my current situation in detail, So I will be brief. I fear my position has been compromised once more. I have been working off assignment for quite some time now, I have discovered things... things I would much rather share with you in person, my activity of recent date is being closely monitored by a number of people, I need to make sure I'm not being followed.

Go to Ames Research Station, the bartender there will provide you with coordinates to a secluded location, I will meet you there my friend. Time, I'm afraid is something I do not have to waste, every second that goes by, is a second I can not afford to lose.

Please Altaf. This goes beyond me and you my friend.

Regards.

Ryan Knowles.

Daniyal, who was in his car, driving to work in the morning. Suddenly, his transmitter beeps, he grabs the transmitter from the cupholder and looks into it

Ah...Ryan, where the heck was he?

He mutters as he types in a reply,

COMM ID: Daniyal Altaf
TARGET ID: Ryan Knowles
SUBJECT: -Classified-
ENCRYPTION: High
PRIORITY: High

Ah Ryan...I am sure you could have explained in detail what situation you are in...unless something isn't right, but what?

I'll get off assignment for now...I have successfully created a secure channel that will prevent anyone from accessing our transmission here, even government officials.

I'll get to you as soon as possible...and I'll go see the bartender... I can't imagine the lengths you are going to, to conceal yourself Ryan. I'll meet with you soon.

He finishes the message and closes the transmission, then he takes a turn and drives back from where he came.
