He first appears as Bond's companion as they attempt to arrange for
General Georgi Koskov, whom they believe to be a high-profile
Soviet defector, to escape to the West. When Bond refuses to kill the cellist
Kara Milovy, whom Koskov was setting up as his "assassin", Saunders threatens to charge him with insubordination.
Later, after Koskov arranges for his escape and Bond realizes that Koskov's defection was actually faked, he has Saunders gather information on Milovy's patron
Brad Whitaker, who turned out to be Koskov's accomplice, and produce a bogus
British passport to enable her to travel with him.
After Bond and Saunders meet in a café in
