Thought For The Day
They brought Number 73 to The
Village because they couldn’t find her husband. She said he was over there,
somewhere there, presumably behind the Iron Curtain, apparently had some work
to finish. 73’s husband did rather well to avoid the agents working for The
Village. But they must have known which country 73’s husband was, because
although they knew that he was meeting the woman Mariah, and the hotel where they
met, they still couldn’t catch him. That seems like gross incompetence if you
ask me. So what did they do? They brought his wife to the Village in the hope
that she would tell Number 2 where her husband was. But she didn’t, all she
could say was he was somewhere over there. We know what happened then, 73
jumped to her death through a hospital window. But what happened after that? No
I don’t mean about Number 6 looking out of the window, and then making the
pledge that Number 2 will pay for 73’s death. I mean about 73’s husband. What
happened when he came back from behind the iron Curtain, or wherever it was,
and returned home to find his wife not there?! He wouldn’t know where his wife
was. He might think she had left him, but would have no idea that she had been
abducted to The Village. Unless they picked him up when he returned home, and
then abducted him to The Village. If he went home that is. He might have
remained with the woman Mariah, never to see his wife again. Mariah might be an
enemy agent working for the Soviets, that might put 73’s husband into the hands
of the Russians, and anything could happen after that. Either way he’d not see
his wife again!
