Post-Gulf War, 1991.

“I don’t care what you have to do, just bring him in. I will not allow someone like him to rot in prison for something he didn’t do!” Operations glared at Madeline for a few heartbeats and turned his back on her.

“I’ll see what I can do.” She turned and walked away from him.

“Don’t ‘see’ about it…DO IT!” The harsh words rolled over her as she left the area.

Three days later, a still form lay on a gurney inside Section One.

“Thank you, Madeline. You’ve done well.” Operations touched her arm as he watched the man on his display screen.

“We’ll see if he thinks the same thing when he wakes up.”

“Why wouldn’t he rather be here than spending the rest of his life paying for something beyond his control. He was a Navy Seal calling in a strike on enemy forces. It wasn’t his fault if the strike took out a few friendlies.” Operations lifted his hand and absently caressed the small pin in his lapel. “He was sacrificed to placate politicians. I won’t let him waste his life in Leavenworth. He can do what he does best. He’ll just do it for us.”

They watched as Michael injected something into the man’s arm and began the Section litany welcoming him to Section One. The big man blinked and sat up, narrowing his eyes and sweeping the room before zeroing in on Michael.

The man finally spoke.

“Jack Davenport, United States Navy. Serial number 764392543423.”
