Then, always, the dream voices chimed in.<br>"The daughter of Admiral William Virgil Maguire thrown in that filthy river like so much stinking garbage," a man's voice said. "Who killed Kitty, John? MI6?" The voice was Bill Clinton, the President at the time. In the dream, Blanka was clinging to her mother bobbing up and down in the river, but her mind was far away, trapped by the voices in her head.<br>"It wasn't us," said another man, "but it's complicated."<br>Blanka recognized him as John Deutch, Director of CIA Langley. He kept talking, muttering. "It could've been the Fatima Secret, we're not sure. We don't really know how big it was.<br>"She is my mother and she's fucking dead!" she screamed at the voices.<br>"She took it to her grave," Clinton said.<br>Then the voices fell silent, and Blanka was in the muddy water with Kitty, desperately struggling to save her.<br>"I won't let you die, I won't let you die," she kept repeating. She was holding her, felt the cold of her wet blue dress over her swollen pregnant belly, saw the garrote wound round her neck.<br>"Venus is <i>our</i> program. Drox and Hart are good guys," Deutch's voice continued.<br>"Frankenstein was <i>one of the good guys</i>, replied Clinton. It's the monsters I'm worried about."
