I need you where your confidentiality is guaranteed.
With all due respect ma'am my secrecy isn't reliant on my location. It's my job.
You're going to Aldersgate no matter how much you respect me Agent so I'd save it if you think you'll earn brownie points.
So what's the opp then?
We don't run opps from Slough House.
Well then what is this?
Not as if I'd tell you over an easily tracked and traced phone call, but it's a John Doe
Second-Desk doesn't have a government issued phone?
All phones can be traced agent...it's probably a good thing you'll be stationed there
...
Are you there or did you throw a temper tantrum and hang up the phone?
Right so is that all you can tell me?
Why do you believe you are so entitleted to know?
Maybe because I'm the one ending up in the ass crack of MI5 just because you've decided to drag me into whatever ulterior game you're playing?!
There's a leak. Disgruntled work employee perhaps wanting to find better prospects in informational trading for a profit and a pat on the back.
Right... so when will the mission be effective?
Paperwork hasn't been authorized yet... 9 days.
Since when did MI5 wait for paperwork to be
authorised to do things?
Since you started getting mouthy.
Not so different then...
Look you're a good agent. But good agents have an expiration date. You walk on a frozen lake and fall through the cracks don't blame the ice for being thin. You think that the Slow Horses weren't good agents before they were moved? I am second-desk and you are a replaceable agent under my jurisdiction. Do you understand?
How long am I supposed to stay in slum house?
Until the task is complete.
And that's definite?
Would you prefer I pinky promise Laverock or—
*
I'd prefer you fuck off.
