On july one thousand hundred and fifty three, permit roseville stood at the border crossing between iraq and iran, enjoying a cigarette outside of the cement border patrol building that marked the entry point into iran. Semi trucks rumbled along the highway while border control agents chek papers and cargo trailers before granting them entry into the country.

Kerma t took a final drag on the cigarette, then started out and walked into the dull, beige painted iranian government building. His driver was already inside, standing at a water patrol agents desk. The agent was going over their paperwork with a fine tooth comb by the time cmt reached his driver, the agent was already looking over krim's passport.

He asked her a few questions about his reasons for visiting iran and scribbled down his answers on a beat up clipboard that had seen Better days. Kerma smiled to himself, amused by the thought that government buildings were dingy and miserable no matter what country you were in. He watched as the agent read over the description box at his passport, clearly misunderstood what the information meant on the entry paperwork.

Kermit t. Saw the agent right mr. Scar on right forehead as if that was his name. Carnett smirked and decided IT was a good omen, a sign that he would enter this country the same way he planned to leave IT and identified and unaccounted for.

Carma wasn't planning .

on using his real name anyway. He was a CIA Operative here on a cover mission. That bunk passport named him as James lockridge, the student um he'd been using while he was iran.

The CIA had assigned permit an enormous task to covertly orchestrate the overthrows of the iranian government and asked their new prime minister, mohammad mosad. c. Kerma t. Saw this as a grand adventure and one he was excited to undertake. Kermit t descended from a long line of adventurous man, his grandfather theatre. Roseville t was world famous for his big game hunting expeditions and his exploits, leading a volunteer cabra unit called the rough riders in the spanish american war.

Now IT was finally kerith turned to seize greatness, to do the impossible and take his place alongside his famous grandfather kermit t had made the past few days brushing up on the assignment, he was only mildly surprised to learn that the coup was initially proposed by british intelligence, also known as mi six. But once he thought about IT M. I, six involvement made a lot of sense.

IT turned out that british agents had already been in iran for several years working on something called Operation boot, which was a ploy to osmotic dec from power, and installed a prime minister moralize with the west and more importantly, western business interests. For decades, the west had profited from iranian oil, essentially becoming shareholders in the world's most profitable oil fields. But most adec was changing that ever since he came to power two years ago, he'd been nationalizing iranian oil, keeping that money for iran.

Instead of letting the west side in its resources, this new policy threatened american interests and put a real dent in the western economy. So the british coup plan was put in motion, but there was a snag. somehow.

Prime minister mosad c had found out about the coup and kicked all the british diplomats out of iran about nine months ago, in october one, nine hundred and fifty two, that set off a chain reaction of events culminating in the CIA getting involved, which is why permit rose evelina was standing before a border control agents desk. Craving another cigarette. He fished the pack of a rocky branded mobiles out of his pocket as a little cigarette.

He watched two board control agents searched the back of a livestock truck, he took a drag of the cigarette and review, viewed his assignment in his head, going over the details he'd painstakingly digested. This mission had come directly from president White ison hour, the new american president, at some point in the first half of one thousand nine hundred and fifty three M I six had approached ison hour and convince ed him that a coup in iran was in america's best interest. A few phone calls later, and carma t found himself in the backseat of a car driving toward this remote border crossing three hundred miles west of tyran.

He was trying to enter iran with the express purpose of overthrowing its government, kerman tz boss said said the coup was necessary to squat most adec opposed communist leanings and secure democracy. The blessings of liberty in the middle. Ast ba kerman didn't believe a word of IT, but carnett knew that his opinion didn't matter.

He did what his superiors told him to do. Ten minutes later, the iranian border agent let permit into the country, and permit and his driver were back into their dust coated car and headed for toron. They drove all afternoon, speeding through vast deserts and farms and rural communities, until finally, just as dust fell over the desert, the high rise buildings and soaring minerals toron appeared on the horizon. Carma t felt to rush her excitement course through him. His great adventure was about to begin.
