Private Discussion Between Commissioner Flavio Ciani and Dr. Jerry Jefferies: Commissioner Ciani: Dr. Jefferies, thank you for joining me today. I hope I can count on your discretion regarding the matter we are about to discuss. Dr. Jefferies: Of course, Commissioner Ciani. I understand the importance of confidentiality in delicate situations such as these. How can I assist you? Commissioner Ciani: As you know, it is crucial that we get Matilda Delling to court safely to testify. However, her current condition and the attempts on her life pose a significant threat. I believe we need to explore alternative measures to protect her. Dr. Jefferies: I'm aware of Miss Delling's injuries, Commissioner. It's unfortunate what she has been through. Are you suggesting we falsify head injuries to disguise her? Commissioner Ciani: Yes, precisely. I need your expertise to create a convincing portrayal of head injuries for Miss Delling, allowing us to bandage her face and replace her with an imposter during the ambulance trip to court. This approach aims to divert attention from her true identity and increase her chances of testifying safely. Dr. Jefferies: Commissioner, I understand your concerns and the importance of protecting Miss Delling. However, I must emphasize the ethical implications of such a plan. Commissioner Ciani: I completely understand your reservations, Dr. Jefferies, but I assure you that Miss Delling's life is directly at stake. We have exhausted other options, and I believe this course of action is our best chance at ensuring her safety while still allowing her to fulfill her civic duty. Dr. Jefferies: It's a risky plan, Commissioner, and I cannot put my medical reputation on the line lightly. But if Miss Delling's life is truly in danger, then perhaps this could be a viable solution. However, we must ensure the imposter's authenticity is foolproof and that Miss Delling is transferred under the utmost secrecy. Commissioner Ciani: I appreciate your understanding, Dr. Jefferies. I assure you that every precaution will be taken to maintain the secrecy of this operation. We will enlist a team of professionals to find the ideal imposter--all while coordinating with the ambulance staff to ensure a smooth transition during transportation. Dr. Jefferies: Very well, Commissioner. I believe I can provide the necessary medical backing for this plan, given the gravity of the situation. Let's proceed, but remember, Miss Delling's welfare must remain our priority throughout this operation. Commissioner Ciani: Agreed, Dr. Jefferies. Thank you for your cooperation. Your involvement in this effort is greatly appreciated. We must act swiftly to protect Miss Delling and maintain the integrity of our justice system. Dr. Jefferies: I will begin preparing the necessary documentation and instructions for the imposter's care. We must also coordinate with the hospital staff to ensure any potential leaks are minimized. It will require the utmost discretion from all parties involved. Commissioner Ciani: Excellent. Time is of the essence, so let's move forward quickly and discreetly. With your assistance, Dr. Jefferies, I believe we have a chance to ensure Miss Delling's safety while she bravely testifies against those who seek to cause her harm.
