Despite your denials, your son doesn't believe you. And he tells you exactly he knows.
SCENARIO 2

SCENARIO 4
You have $200,000 in $100 bills hidden in your garage. One day you are shoppping with your 7 year old son. He asks for a toy costing more than $100. Laughing you say, 'no way' . He takes a heap of $100 his pocket and says he will buy the toy himself. What do you say ?

Signed, Sealed, Pope General Caleb Benedictus XIII, Commander of the IVth Great and Bountiful Italian Empire.
I most whole heartedly agree!

THE POPE's EXTREME SOLUTION
It's a wonderful solution if you
1. plan to shoot yourself immediately afterwards
2. if you have a brilliant escape plan
The solution will be considerably less successful if you plan to continue as an undetected spy. If you're planning to be a spy, Pope General Commander may I humbly suggest you review your plans and check out other options.
I'll use my Army!
I would get my army and secret service to invade the country then torture the people Pope General Caleb is planning to shoot.

YOUR ROYAL MAJESTY
Has a dark side & may I suggest a downsizing in Titles; perhaps some conglomeration will do the trick.
Your solution seems awfully expensive. I assume your suggestions states that you've incapable of solving the problem so that the spy could stay in cognito.
I shall change my title for the purposes of messaging to......

It's not expensive when you can afford it.
Herr Oram, I can assure you there is a awful lot in my kitty.

EXPENSIVE
I wasn't thinking of your kitty but of your time & energy. Great leaders (but not Chris Dickson) delegate & give underlings many of the responsibility. And I do hope you have greater military skill than one of your predecessors
( or successors) the Fuehrer AH. If you do not then pass on that particular GK to a career man.
ps., I think we're getting off-topic - have you tackled Brian's cipher yet ?
SCENARIOs
SCENARIO 1: i would convince my son that he is compeletly out of his mind, watched too much spy movies and if i was a spy why wouldn't i tell him?
SCENARIO 2: i'd pretend to be a police(undercover of course) and simply tell him i'll take care of it, i would hope for the best that he believes me.
SCENARIO 3:
1. talking to them for quite awhile ~ well we had an interesting discussion, and lost track of time.
2. walked away with them into a building ~ the building was where they wanted to go, and since i took so long of their time i decided to show them EXACTLY which office they need to go in.
3. seen several times with these men ~ i just happen to run into them quite abit, funny how small the world really in...
SCENARIO 4: mmmmm..... what DO i say?
uhhh, i would probably distract him firstly with a cheap toy, then talk him into wanting to buy that one instead, i'll tell him that i'll pay for that toy if only he would give me all of the money he has....(doesn't sound reasonable but hey! he's only 7*laughs*)
part2 of SCENARIO 4: i would say that: i don't know what she's talking about and i only gave my son 5 $5 dollar notes this morning. It was in a rush though, and somebody stole $500 all in $100, WHAT A WEIRD MORNING!
*bahahahahah i come up with such lame lies*
