2: Cold Wars Business PropositionWeatherby Stein’s room had everything a boy would want. Toys were scattered across the hard wooden floor, ranging from tin soldiers to race cars to model sailboats. The shelves were packed with pulp magazines and books, a library of amusements for any adolescent. A television sat in the corner. It had never been switched on. The window looked out at over a green field, radiant in autumn sunlight. Located in a government-owned cottage in upstate New York, the whole place was full of comfort, amusement and safety.Weatherby hated every inch of his room, and the house it was in. He sat on his bed, his toys untouched except by dust. He was too old for them anyway, being precisely fourteen and a half, but he hadn’t even played with them when he was small. It didn’t seem right.He was a small, scrawny child, nearly dwarfed by the size of his bed. He had pale skin, and hair as dark as a raven’s wings, carefully combed over his pleasant, frowning face. The OSS – and now the Central Intelligence Agency – had dressed him well.
