He reached over and took the gauze and quickly made it into a bandage, keeping one eye on the bandaging of Wu.
They relayed the information to Western Union Central Intelligence, and WU passed it on to United States Central Intelligence, and now Counter Espionage is riding Nayland about it, and he's trying to make us the goat." "He would love to get some of us shot," Kato said. "And that could happen.
