They went as far as they could and abandoned the van on Center Drive. In the distance the waterspout was still churning, like a twirling finger reaching down to the water.

The Bow Bridge would give them the best view as they headed on foot up the path towards it; stopping there and staring at the immense whirling vortex of water spanning mysteriously high into a clear blue sky.

They searched with their binoculars, seeing a few bystanders, only to have the water spout disappear within minutes of their arrival.

“Damn!” Illya cursed. “The signal was here; I am sure!”

“Well at least it gives us a better chance of finding that needle in the haystack now. We won’t have to spread ourselves thin searching all of New York.”

Kuryakin shrugged. “Only if whatever did this is not mobile, then we will be back to square one.”

Those gathering to gape at the water spout before it ended had their faces studied, but the agents decided they were merely ordinary visitors to the park.

When they returned to the van; parked behind it was a green, black and white police squad car with the red light roof light flashing away.

Everyone in Section II had heard of Napoleon Solo—how could they have not? He was almost a legend—the young, wide-eyed idealist who, in 1958, had successfully outwitted and ousted G. Emory Partridge from power and left him for dead in the jungle. Napoleon Solo had done the impossible, freeing an entire nation from Partridge. Ever since then, Napoleon had set his sights on bigger fish; THRUSH was proving themselves to be a formidable foe under the leadership of the man referred to as “the Baron of THRUSH.” The man’s identity was unknown, and U.N.C.L.E. agents worldwide were desperate to find his identity and neutralize him—and Napoleon Solo was no different.

But for Napoleon, it was becoming more and more of a personal quest, bordering on an obsession. His conquest of Partridge, unheard of and unexpected for a young agent like him, had spurred his confidence. He had spent the following two years attempting to track down the Baron. It was now February of 1960, and though Napoleon handled whatever unrelated missions that were assigned to him, his intense focus on the Baron had become almost as legendary as the success of the Partridge affair. Whispers referred to him as “the Don Quixote of Section II,” and these whispers had long since reached the ears of Alexander Waverly, who had been determining what to do about it.
