09:00 hundred hours, 30th July 2008

Lambert entered the room and sat at the end, placed a folder in front of each of the representatives and began "Time is 09:00 hundred hours, briefing has commenced." He said pressing a digital recorder that sat on the table. "Luintenent Colonel Samuel Harry Fisher, born February 3, 1966 Orlando, Florida, USA. Sex: Male. Proceed." William Redding stood up and passed around photos and a file. "It is believed that during the attempted rescue of Agent Samuel Fisher and the several other men, a self destruct was set in place to prevent the findings of any illegal substances under International law. Four men were able to escape before the charge had activated. But none were able to verify that Agent Fisher escaped the explosion. It is believed that Long Dan, former President of China was amongst the victims. Three Identity tags were recovered, though as Agent Fisher does not carry one, we have to assume. As from the 30th of July 2008, record of Samuel Harry Fisher will be removed. End of recording." Redding retrieved the photos then sat back down. Lambert turned off the recorder before NSA director Jessica Real stood. "There is official word that due to the presumed death of Long Dan, the former President of China will take the seat once again. All hostile acts between the two nations have been removed from record, a stable peace agreement is now in place. Thanks to the actions of Agent Fisher, we were able to retrieve and destroy the substances created by the Chinese Government. Thank you."

The briefing continued, covering all angles, then, when it finished everyone left the room apart from Lambert and Grim. Lambert and Grim looked at each other, deciding whether or not anything else was worth it. "Sir," Grim said holding her laptop to her chest.

"What's done is done." Lambert said reaching for the door handle.

"Do you really think his dead?" she said stopping him.

"I don't know," he said walking out the door.

Grim stood there, looking out the window, "I sure hope so."
