Secret Agent:Richer than Midas Part 1/4

Magnus:Double 0 Sven, you were selected for this mission because you are renowned for your stealth and silence...

 You must safely deposit a book of untold significance - a book so important that....
 I forgot to return it to the library about a year ago and for which the fine is 100 Krone!
 Make sure you do not draw the librarian's attention when you slip it back onto its the shelf. That way when she argues with me on the phone, I can just ask her to search the reference section more thoroughly next time....

After Sven had slipped the overdue book in a discrete gap on the shelf, he turned in supressed disbelief. There stood before him a SMORGES Board henchman. He had unwittingly been followed from the Ancient Civilisation Section to the I.T Section.
Run but be mindful at the same time of the other readers!
The SMORGES Board must have known that the book would eventually be returned and had therefore stationed a henchman to snare Sven!

 Sven ran for his life! Now he knew what to buy Magnus next Christmas-a Kindl-so he he could download books instead of jeopardising Sven on nonsense.
 The henchman's footsteps were growing louder. maybe the librarian would intervene and tell him to be quieter but then he had probably already thought of that. Sven noticed the silencer peeking out from his jacket....
 Would Sven make it to the biography section....?
 Or would he himself become a biography title in the history section?
 Sven hid and waited....
He had a brilliant idea that you didn't need to find in a book.
 .....
 WAM!


 Magnus:Did you return the book unnoticed...?
Double 0 Sven:Yes....sort of....
 Magnus ushered Sven into the Icelandic Secret Service Bar.
 Magnus:For your next mission Sven, you will have to investigate a gentleman called Mr Narras. He appears to be extremely wealthy. So wealthy that some claim he is richer than Midas! The reason why he has appeared on our radar screen is because  he has been arriving at the Icelandic bank with crisp Krone notes and trading it in...for gold....


 You need to establish the origin of  these Krone money notes. They are certainly not natural because the Icelandic bank now has a surplus of cash....You do the maths....


Double 0 Sven:Maths is not my speciality but counterfeiting is....
