He paid me quite a lump sum to find you. More, if I can deliver. [He smiles just a little, though, and stays where he is; he isn't planning on doing it, not at the moment.]

MI6 thought I was a character from a book, [he said dryly. Maybe he ought to be sympathetic - wanting to see a woman alive, it's a feeling he can painfully understand, and maybe that's why he's steadfastly ignoring it.]

Somehow, I doubt you'd find her.
