Her Grace said, “I am not happy with this situation.  I have told you many times that this is a bad idea.  I told you the first time I heard it that it was a bad idea.  Now your people have botched their attempt to keep it quiet.  You have, because of this plan, alerted this abomination of a man. As if that wasn’t enough, you have given him a personal stake in trying to counter this part of our plan.  He is not stupid.  And, he surrounds himself with very capable people.  He has now made contact with this Captain who was quick to find answers to questions that you did not think he would even know to ask.”

Her Grace prayed for patience and waited until she was calm enough to speak. “Perhaps I have been unclear about the next steps in our plan.  Yes, the servant who asked to do this for us failed once.  Yes, he failed again.  But, we have many other servants and they will not fail.  You do not understand the power of the faithful.  Where one falls, another rises from the ashes.  We always have plans in place because the flesh is weak.  The flesh is always weak.  We are now implementing a plan to blunt this man’s threat.”

There was silence on the other end of the line.  When the man spoke he sealed his fate. “I hope you know what you are doing this time.  We can’t leave all of these details open.  Someone will find out what we have done.”

She smiled to herself.  This man had been a source of trouble from the beginning and would continue to be a liability if something wasn’t done.

“We are cleaning up loose ends.  Soon your worries will be over,” she said.
