Re: Eliot & Derek
"Some of us do it because it's our job," he said.
Derek nodded. "ICIS is a federal agency. We're funded by the US government. There's a cover in place. We allegedly are an intelligence agency responsible to coordinate among the many different agencies. This is why we tax ourselves. They give us plenty, and we have housing. So we put most of our salary in a joint fund. Some we use for food and parties. A lot we use for arms and things that go in safe houses. We do as much as we can without Hetty and the Director knowing, not because they wouldn't approve, but if they don't know, then they have plausible deniability."
