“I know.”
The general doubted the younger man knew even that much or had any real understanding of the complexities here. He was simply doing his job. “I will not trust this to anyone else. That failed last time. So this time you will get me close to him.”
The younger man hesitated. Apparently this had not been in his brief. “General, the risk...”
“There will be no risk. I am here on a diplomatic mission, yes?”
“But that won’t protect you if...”
“There will be no if. This man has threatened my life, my family, everything I have worked for. I must know he is taken care of, see it with my own eyes.”
After a moment of hesitation, the younger man agreed. “As you wish.” Clearly he had been told not to disagree with the general.
“I would expect no less. I have worked with you for many years, first from my position in the Russian army, and now in Ukraine. You owe me.”
“Yes, sir.”
The general smiled for the first time. “Soon we will resume our mutually beneficial relationship. Once I remove the traitor.”
