She would then make the same threats in New York, but with more reasonable demands, which they will agree to, thus destroying the alliance between Britain and America.After the Grimaldi twins hear that Novak has been hospitalised and is therefore unable to complete Operation Steel Claw, they visit her in hospital, where she suggests they get her cousin, Slavko, also a pilot, as a replacement.
