The Scoop.

Flight to Geneva. Train to St. Gervais-le Fayet. 11:00 p.m. taxi to Chamomix.

No way to know if he's still there or if it's more flights and trains for you.

You like it this way.

There's history. One of you, inevitably, pursues the other around the globe.

Last time, you made him follow you to Helsinki.

Now you're it.

He was in the dark about the coup, he says, or maybe he wasn't. (Phone lines aren't to be trusted.) Either way, the story's yours if you want it.

After the piece goes to print, I'd advise waiting a month before you summon him to Barcelona.

Or try this time, will you.

The dress may just tip your hand.
