Milja
persuaded Todor to give the organization the purpose it had
previously possessed he was assassinated by enemies in his own ranks.
Indifferent to her own fate, emotionally exhausted, Milja lived in
Paris, saw her onetime comrades destroy one another in fights for
spoils. To get her to run one last secret errand, V. M. R. 0. offered
the only bribe that could attract her—the name of the man who had
killed her lover. But the betrayals had become too intricate; the man
named was not Todor's murderer but merely another victim of the ruling
clique. Milja abandoned her errand, deceived the chiefs, was blown up
in the Orient Express as it thundered past her birthplace.
