Could we be wrong?

Last night after one of our regularly-scheduled Board of Dictators meetings we were approached by an individual that our security team informed us was an eye-witness to the apparent death of our operative "Viktor." We haven't released many of the details from the crime scene, so we were surprised when this witness recounted much of what we knew about the crime scene. Based on what he knew, we are fairly sure that he had been to the crime scene before we secured it.

He went on for some time describing the events we had reconstructed, with one important difference from the way our forensics team reconstructed it. In his version "Viktor's" lifeless body wasn't dragged from the scene to a waiting helicopter by a lone survivor of the group that ambushed him, it was the other way around. "Viktor" dragged one of the bodies of his attackers to a helicopter and boarded it.

We are not convinced that our informant hadn't been impaired from using too many controlled substances on the night in question, but we have been able to verify that he would have been able to see what he claims from the location he claims to have been in, and that, furthermore, the participants in the battle would not likely have noticed him. It seems incredible that "Viktor" would have faked his own death (after all, who would he be hiding from but us?), but we're not leaving any stones unturned.
