He has come to Paris from Boston twenty years ago. He speaks French and German. But He has the American accent. One day, a young writer, Fowler comes to meet him. He wants to write about a secret agent. But he gets disappointed when he meets Ausable because he is not like a secret agent as he has read and heard about. After a few moments, Ausable tells Fowler that he will see an important paper. This paper can change the course of history. When they enter the hotel room, they find a man with a small automatic pistol in the middle of the room. It is Max. Ausable says that he thinks that he is in Berlin. Max tells that he has come to grab the important report from Ausable. (Report related to new missiles). Ausable remains cool. He sits in an armchair. He at once furnishes a story about the balcony. He says that he will complain against the balcony to the management of the hotel. At this, Max tells him that he has used a master key to enter into the room. Then there is a knocking at the door. Ausable smiles 😁 and he tells that it must be the police because he has called them for the protection of the report. The Max becomes nervous. He jumps through the window to the balcony but actually there is no balcony. He falls down and cries 😭 sharply. The door opens. A waiter stands there with a tray, a bottle and two glasses. Fowler is confused and feared. He asks Ausable about the police. Ausable told him that there is no police. He tells him the fact that Max will never return.

इस कहानी में, ऑसेबल एक गुप्त एजेंट है। लेकिन वह ऐसा नहीं दिखता था। वह बहुत मोटा है। वह एक फ्रेंच होटल की छठी और सबसे ऊपरी मंजिल पर ठहरे हुए हैं। वह बीस साल पहले बोस्टन से पेरिस आए हैं। वह फ्रेंच और जर्मन बोलता है। लेकिन वह अभी भी  अमेरिकी उच्चारण में बोलता है। एक दिन, एक युवा लेखक, फाउलर उससे मिलने आता है। वह एक गुप्त एजेंट के बारे में लिखना चाहता है। लेकिन ऑसेबल से मिलने पर वह निराश हो जाता है क्योंकि वह एक गुप्त एजेंट की तरह नहीं है जैसा उसने पढ़ा और सुना है। कुछ क्षणों के बाद, ऑसेबल फाउलर से कहता है कि वह एक महत्वपूर्ण पेपर देखेगा। यह पेपर इतिहास की धारा बदल सकता है। जब वे होटल के कमरे में प्रवेश करते हैं, तो वे कमरे के बीच में एक छोटी स्पिस्तौल के साथ एक आदमी पाते हैं। यह मैक्स है। औसेबल कहता है कि उसे लगा है कि तुम  बर्लिन में हो। मैक्स बताता है कि वह औसेबल से रिपोर्ट लेने आया है। (नई मिसाइलों से जुड़ी रिपोर्ट)। औसेबल ठंडा रहता है। वह एक कुर्सी पर बैठता है। वह तुरंत बालकनी के बारे में एक कहानी प्रस्तुत करता है। उनका कहना है कि वह बालकनी के खिलाफ होटल प्रबंधन से शिकायत करेंगे। इस पर मैक्स उसे बताता है कि उसने कमरे में प्रवेश करने के लिए मास्टर चाबी का इस्तेमाल किया है। तभी दरवाजे पर कोई दस्तक होता है। ऑसेबल मुस्कुराता है और वह कहता है कि यह पुलिस होनी चाहिए क्योंकि उसने उन्हें रिपोर्ट की सुरक्षा के लिए बुलाया है। मैक्स घबरा जाता है। वह खिड़की से छज्जे पर कूदता है लेकिन वास्तव में कोई छज्जा नहीं है। वह नीचे गिर जाता है और जोर से चिल्लाता है। दरवाजा खुलता है। एक वेटर वहाँ एक ट्रे, एक बोतल और दो गिलास के साथ खड़ा है। फाउलर भ्रमित और भयभीत है। वह औसेबल से पुलिस के बारे में पूछता है। औसेबल ने उसे बताया कि पुलिस नहीं है। वह उसे बताता है कि मैक्स कभी वापस नहीं आएगा।
