The mission on the island of Mallorca, located just off the coast of Spain in the Mediterranean, was concluded. A lot of nothing had happened, at least from a perceived observational conclusion by both Dave White, my assigned partner, and me. I’d killed a man, we’d been pursued, and we’d left the island in haste after heading into the consulate to hopefully get armed and go after the root cause of what had caused me to damn near get killed myself, and also finish the mission. That didn’t happen. Langley control said ‘no,’ that we were done, and headed back without providing much reasoning.

The money for Nguyen and Kingsley had to be retrieved from the paymaster at the Air Force Base, and I knew I was the only one who could present himself in person to claim it. The system, all military and civil governmental systems, were peculiarly protective of cash...
THE COWARDLY LION, Volume Six, Chapter VI
The road that wasn’t a road appeared before me, as I crawled to come to its rough edge. I was facing Albuquerque. My sense of direction returned, and the terror of being killed, once again, was replaced by a dedicated desire to right the balance of justice in my...
