The Chairman stormed in with two guards. "Tell me why your prize charge just defected to the federal army on his first bloody day in the field!"

"We know what you did next."
The Chairman narrowed his eyes. "You told him that story? You guided him to steal my property."
"You guided the Director to suicide," Aiden answered. "Sharkface isn't the only one who lost friends."
The Chairman motioned. The guard raised his weapon.
Aiden held the gaze. "Putting things right takes risk."
"You should be more concerned if you expect to even survive this meeting!"
Aiden stepped back, revealing a message beacon. Destination: Oversight.
"Is there something about my actions, Chairman," he said, "that makes you think I expect to survive?"
