At first, Matt Cvetic thinks it's a trick to put him on edge and at a disadvantage for whatever's going to happen. Then, he realizes that comrade Revson is really worried. Deeply puzzled, he stands looking out the window holding that official looking paper in his hand. He's worried about it, but Matt sees that Revson is also memorizing it. He turns to Matt and says "Comrade Cvetic, I have an assignment for you from the highest source". Matt asks "The Kremlin, in person?" Revson says "Cvetic, you know Shepherd Ryker of course". Matt says "That loud communist baiter? Revson says "Shepherd Ryker is an extremely dangerous man. His work in Washington is strategic and his personal campaign against the party is embarrassing". Matt says "It's time we did something about him too. Revson says "We are about to do something now. Mrs. Ryker lives in this city, a charming woman reportedly". Matt asks "What has she got to do with it?" Revson says "She is one of us". Matt says "Mrs. Shepard Ryker is a communist? She can't be. It just isn't in the books". Revson says "But it is. She joined the party ten years ago. She's attractive and young. Actually too attractive for the ordinary work of the party. We assigned her to return to her usual life, to forget she was a member of the party, until we could call upon her for special duties. These orders are it". Matt asks "We are calling her back to active service?" Revson says "You will make an appointment with Mrs. Ryker, and acquaint her with her assignment. She is to use her influence with her husband to make him cease his attacks on the Communist Party". Matt says "Suppose she says no to the proposition on Shepherd Ryker". Revson says "We will entertain no alternative".
