Prologue:

With the death of Chief Dooley, a new head of the SSR must be appointed. All SSR agents waited at their desks. None felt the need to speak. It wasn't hard to imagine who would be the next head of the SSR.

Jack Thompson had everything going for him. He had the record for the most successful mission in the SSR. Not to mention he was young and could lead the SSR for years to come. Most of the agents knew that he was the most likely candidate to be the new chief.

Some believed that Daniel Sousa would receive the promotion. As an injured war hero, he could hold his own. He was not only intelligent but also compassionate. The handful that thought he would do well at this job, hoped that he would get it.

Around three, the verdict was in. Agent Gunderson out of Washington walked into the room. Every agent rose to their feet, anxious for the news.

"After combing through Dooley's notes, we have come to a verdict." he starts off. "In his final moments, he has written down valuable information about all of you. These notes were taken into account as we decided on a new chief."

A pin could drop in the room and everyone would've heard it. Everyone remembered the death of Dooley. None of them had realized in his final moments that he had managed to write down notes about the agents. They were all too focused on finding a way to save him.

"His choice was quite shocking to us. Upon reviewing their war file as well as his notes, we must agree." Gunderson continues. "I am here to announce your new chief, Margret Carter."
