“Can you get Bernard out?” she asked.

Yates’ fingers, previously interlaced on the table, twitched slightly. “Eleanor, I assure you, I haven’t restricted Bernard’s freedom.”

“If you haven’t restricted him, then why hasn’t he come home? Why hasn’t he even made a phone call?” Eleanor had been puzzled before. If Area Opaca didn’t limit their operatives’ freedom, why hadn’t Bernard contacted her in 23 days?
