Several Years Ago...
Roger sat at a metal table in a dimly lit room, he drummed lightly on the table waiting for his contact. It had been 30 minutes since his arrival and he was beginning to grow impatient. The last bit of info he had picked up was that he was in for a transfer and was to go undercover.
during war-time to boot. I really don't look forward to this. Roger thought to himself.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of high-heels and more heavy accompanying steps. The metal door to the room swung open and a woman in a custom fitted pencil dress walked in.
The woman sat down on the chair facing him and set a satchel down beside her. She began to dig through the satchel and pulled out a file. She looks it over.
Baur: "Agent Witsky. I'm Agent Bauer. I'll be briefing you on your objectives for a yet to be defined amount of time."
Roger: "So where am i going and who am i killing."
Bauer: "To the point i see. You're just like the rest of them they send in here. Relax a little bit for a change. This is going to be one long mission for us."
Roger: "Us?"
Bauer: "Yes. You and me going to be conducting retrieval operations in a war zone. Also you're not killing anyone. This is a far more delicate matter."
Bauer drops a file on the table in front of Roger which he proceeds to open and look over.
Roger: "An arsonist on the run? This seems a bit below what we're suppose to do. Isn't this an issue for the IPC?"
Bauer: "During wartime the IPC doesn't have the resources to operate with the proper jurisdiction. That and its whats in this mans head that needs to be kept under wraps. This is a matter of our national security and this man is a traitor. Are you up to the task at hand?"
Roger: "Yes Ma'am."
Bauer smiled and pulled out an envelope. She hands it to Roger and immediately stands up and heads for the door. Roger opens it and finds a Military ID.
Bauer: "Please. Call me Vikki."
The Present
Roger finds himself entering the mess hall with a printed version of the file in hand as if timing himself to Jaakkos comment. He slips it into a yellow folder to conceal the pages. Some coffee while i read through this might help a bit.
He takes a seat with Jaakko, Tippy and Yui.
"Squad. Good to see you guys. Looks like everyone made it back."
