On a visit to Washington, Senator Fisk, former chief counsel for the Addington Group, tells Alexander that new documents concerning Panama, namely the private files of General Manuel Noriega, former Panamanian dictator; that can bring down another US administration has just surfaced. Frisk says that he wants to pursue an independent investigation into all this because of his disgust with the sheer amount of cover-ups that this administration has undertaken. Hector Stone, whose job was to get those documents and deliever it to a Senate committee, believes that he has been double crossed by his Panamanian contact, who intends to sell those documents to the highest bidder, but no one from the US can help Stone. As a result, Frisk approaches Alexander for help.
