Ken Thurston, an American Intelligence agent, is having a meeting with the Chief of the Intelligence Bureau. The Chief says "So, his dying words were asking for you, Ken?" Ken says "That's what the report says". Chief says "What's the connection between the murder of a Puerto Rican newspaper man and the bureau?" Ken says "Luis Rivera was more than a newspaper man. He was a crusader, always fighting for the benefit of the little people and for his country. This time, I think he bit off more than he could chew". Chief asks "Like what?" Ken says "Like the Nationalista Party". Chief says "Wait a minute, Ken. They no threat anymore. After that assassination attempt in Washington, they were broken up". Ken says "Or did they just go underground? Chief, that party is an organized gang of revolutionaries. You know, Puerto Rico for the Puerto Ricans. We've heard that line before, in places such as China, and Korea". Chief says "Yes, but Ken, we don't know that they've gone underground. We haven't any proof". Ken says "What if Luis Rivera had that proof?" Chief says "Hmm". He calls his secretary and says "Miss Brooks, Book passage for Ken Thurston on the first plane for San Juan, Puerto Rico". Later that day, when Ken arrives in San Juan, along with his somewhat dubious assistant, Pegon Zellschmidt. Getting off the plane, Pegon says "Believe me, Mr. X, you won't ever regret taking me along here to Puerto Rico. I know every hot dive in San Juan". Ken says "That figures". Pegon says "Whatever it is you want here, I'm the guy who can fix it up". Ken says "I want you to get me some information about the Nationalista party". Pegon says "The Nationalista Party? Mr. X, these Nationalista jokers would cut your neck for a nickel". Ken says "Then you know them". Pegon says "I won't admit that, not for a million dollars. Hey .... that's a C-Note!"
