correct , our girl of many handles isor wasmalachi 's chief undercover operative i guess you can call her a private detective we have corresponded a few times over the last year or so , usually about routine stuff anyway , the day after malachi 's death , i received an encrypted voice-mail from fiona , out of the blue she said that she needed to talk to me in person , and that she would be flying out to california as just as soon as she could arrange it .
