Chapter 21

“Why can’t they just trust us to make the risk assessment and act autonomously?”

“They do. You’re an excellent soldier, Jack. You all are, and that’s why we have a strong Unit here. I’m proud of you and will support you all I can, but I’ve been asked to remind you of the rules.”

“But…why if we’re doing such a good job?” asked Amy, her eyes narrowing. “Is someone complaining?”

“Consider it like the army. A soldier doesn’t go solo or question what, where, or why they’re working on a mission. They just follow orders, trusting their superiors and the governments making decisions for them.”

“Yeah, and look where that got us,” scoffed Jack.

Maggie ignored him.

“You’re doing a good job, but to do my job, I need you to trust me and keep quiet. Otherwise, I’ll lose you and they’ll close the Unit.”

“Has someone said something about us?” Pyke asked.

Silence.
