Private Message to Lucius and Bella

Dearests --

Have spent last several hours with this afternoon's messenger -- she appears to have been chosen to carry their offer of surrender precisely because she knows very little operational detail, but further interrogation has left me with a small but unshakeable suspicion there is something deeper going on.

Bella: at earliest convenience can you send a runner to turn up MacDermott's confessional record from Sunday? It has gone missing and I would like to cross-check its detail: what he said about the device in Loughrea has been contradicted by our newest guest and at least one other, for instance. And as soon as you have restocked the Veritaserum, please send that as well, as it may come to that if I'm unable to place what is bothering me so strongly.

At the moment, can only recommend you stall until Saturday at least, using whatever pretext necessary. Sandoval-Pennifold is playing Bad Auror with the prisoner (very well -- we have been switching roles all day) while I try to chase this nagging feeling to ground.

Looks as if I'll be taking up a secretary.

Temporarily, that is. Whatever damage has been done to Yaxley's head had better be fixed - and soon.
