Scott Forrester, on the other hand, suddenly has doubts. He was curious about Hutchinson’s significance. His mother and his family wouldn’t offer him an answer. Instead, they were thinking about who else was meant to fly on that particular aircraft. The fortunate one. Paul Novikoff is a writer who specializes in science fiction and fantasy. All spy efforts in Russia were overseen by Novikoff. He was even the name of the man who allegedly converted Forrester’s mother against the Americans and assisted her in betraying them. After failing to make the flight, Novikoff disappeared. He knelt because assassins could be following him, and if they were, it was because he was considering defecting from Russia.

That is, according to Forrester’s mother. Angela asserts that she was never a traitor. She claimed that she was still employed by the Americans and that Novikoff was eager to join them. First and foremost, he needed guarantee of safety. Forrester opted to trust this story since it was told by his mother, and thus he deviated from the script. In Budapest, he abandoned his group. He kept his whereabouts a secret from them. He merely stated that he was pursuing Novikoff and that he was looking for information. His superiors were furious, believing Forrester was committing treason by conversing with his mother. As a result, he was pursued by a CIA colleague.
