Shortly after the arrest, Dagny heard from Francisco. He gave her the telephone number of a direct line that would reach him, and asked her to call him the moment she had reason to believe that John Galt was in danger of his life.

Shortly after the arrest, Dagny found a note slipped under her apartment door. The note was from Francisco. It gave her the telephone number of a direct line that would reach him, and asked her to call him the moment she had reason to believe that John Galt was in danger of his life.

Dagny was not the sole "agent on the ground" that Francisco had in [[New York City]] at the time. She was, however, closer to the authorities than any of them. She could not know, but would learn later, that the Galt's Gulch Militia had thoroughly infiltrated New York, and was quite prepared to storm the Wayne-Falkland Hotel, where the authorities held Galt for another week or to. That they didn't was only because they feared that the authorities would "liquidate" Galt as soon as the militia got close.

Francisco likely had another reason to offer Dagny this opportunity to participate as his spy. This would complete her recruitment.
