“Boss, is calling. We
will see you in the morning.” Andre
states as they leave her.
Andre and Paul catch up to the other members of the unit.
The corridor directly outside the theater is packed with the
high ranking officials and their assistants.
Their post debriefing conversations are loud as the men enter the
corridor. Once they see the unit
approaching, their conversations grow mute.
Not a single word is spoken as the crowd begins to part to allow the
unit to pass.
Jayce hears Ty mumble and turns to see what he had said, but
finds him looking straight forward.
Deciding that whatever he had said is better left alone in the present
company, Jayce does not question Ty further on the matter. He notes that not a single person is willing to
make eye contact with any of them. He
turns around to look back towards the door, wherein the doorway stands Stan and
Tracy. He returns his attention back to
his men as they leave the corridor and move towards the military police on
post. The two soldiers salute the unit.
“Have a good night, guys.” Jayce politely offers.
The unit has not spoken a word to each other since the
presentation. Once clear of the door,
Jayce questions Ty on what he had said in the corridor.
“Dead men walking!”
Ty repeats.
