I'm here. I'm alive.

MLE had questions about what happened today--just finished speaking with the Enforcer--but I think they believed my answers, that I didn't see anything.

She's been in contact with Ridley recently, yet Ridley remains unarrested. She knew about the trick that Ridley used to get free, the pepper on the eggs. She knows what Ridley's familiar is.

Her real name is Rachel Brodie.

So she does know you're affiliated with the Order, then. Depending on what Ridley has told her, she might know quite a bit. Albus, Kingsley, Frank, and Stephen all worked closely with Ridley, as did Scott Brownmiller. I'll have to revisit my notes on the matter, but I wouldn't be surprised if she's put quite a lot of things together as a result of her time with us.

I know you've built a rapport with Auror Lamont, but remember, she is gifted at deception and interrogation, and ought not to be underestimated in terms of the information she could learn from you. Your safety is also certainly not guaranteed. In the past, Dogstar has tended to push forward without much consideration for collateral damage, and you very well might be leverage or a potential scapegoat she could use to save her own hide.

Ridley's recent demands might save your neck there, even though we haven't been on good terms with her lately.

That assumes things are what they appear to be, of course, which I am not convinced of.

Let's just say I'm not a fan of coincidences, and your continued connection with Ms Lamont is something I find deeply problematic.

I do not like having you meet up with her without a full debriefing first. There are many things about this that I do not like, which probably comes as little surprise to you.

But I can see how time is of the essence, and how we must learn more and see what we can do with it.

This is far less than ideal. I assume you will be as careful as possible, and will be on guard for possible Legilimency and other ways she may take advantage of her newly-found information.

Alice, I understand I am on a very tight leash here, and I will act accordingly. I will do my utmost to protect both myself and the rest of the Order.

Just so you know...I will be taking my protective backup measure. As Aloysius did. So I'm ready if it all goes to hell.

I very much hope it will not come to that.

And regardless of what comes of this, and my rather extreme reservations, your actions today did save lives which is something that ought not be lost sight of.

Be careful, Bill. Report back once you're done.
