No-one could know what they were carrying. Knowledge of it could have untold consequence, both within U.N.C.L.E. headquarters, and without. So, while Napoleon created various distractions, Illya slipped through the corridors almost unnoticed. Reaching the desk of Lisa Rogers, he nodded meaningfully.

Waverly smiled and sipped the contents of the flask. Veronica’s chicken soup was just what he needed to fight the heavy cold he’d been struck down with. She hadn’t been happy about him coming into the office, but Waverly refused to bow to sickness. He couldn’t allow there to be any hint of weakness.
“Thank you, Mr Kuryakin. Speak of this to no-one.”
