Chapter 21 - Elsbeth

Michael was excelling in all technical areas. There had been concerns in the beginning of how isolated he was and how that might impact his ability to lead other operatives. Those concerns have diminished over the last few months.

Michael’s been garnering respect by fellow recruits and from field operatives due to his actions to save his team during a failed mission. The level of approval has only increased since he fought off the attempted ambush by Griess.

Elsbeth sent communiqués to Kendo and Jurgen to proceed with the recommendation to promote Michael to probationary field status. She further advised Michael only work on missions’ lead by the two for now. She made the notation in his file while she waited for Caroline to arrive.

The door swung open as she finished updating his record. Caroline walked in looking nervous.

“Good morning, Caroline. Please have a seat.”

“Thank you.”

“I have reviewed Michael’s training records. You are recommending accelerating his training and commencing instructions in field mechanics?”

“Yes.”

“Do you think it prudent to start so soon after his recent attack?”

“He’s at the point where he could be promoted to full operative status for light seduction scenario. He will need more intensive training for complete Valentine status.”

“I agree. Who do you have in mind for his training? Sean has already expressed an interest in providing further training after helping with Michael’s trial.”

Caroline looked upset at the suggestion and shook her head vehemently. “No, I don’t think that would be a good idea. Sean doesn’t have the self-discipline to be a trainer, especially not of Michael.”

“I agree. Who do you propose instead?”

“Bruce, a level 3 Valentine ops.”

“A wise choice. You may proceed to develop the training schedule with Bruce.”

“Thank you.”

“I do have some concern Caroline with your participation with Michael’s training.”

Caroline had been getting up from the chair when Elsbeth spoke. She sat down slowly and looked at her with wide anxious eyes.

“What are you concerned about?”

“I have reviewed surveillance feed from your training sessions and it’s obvious that you are extremely affected by Michael.”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure you do not wish to rush Michael’s training in order to get close to him?”

“Michael has maxed out on his training. This is the logical next step.”

“What about your attachment to Michael?”

“It’s under control.”

“You might become even more attached once his training is intensified. Would it not be a better course of action to assign another operative for that training?”

“No I don’t think so.”

“Why not?”

“I believe Michael might have that effect on most operatives.”

Elsbeth assessed Caroline closely. The operative looked composed but resolute. She might have a point that another operative might be any better. At least Caroline had proven to have sufficient self control not to let her desires get the better of her.

“Alright. You may initiate his training. That will be out.”

“Thank you.”

Elsbeth watched Caroline leave and made a note in Michael’s files to keep a closer watch on the trainer.
