by Ty Patterson
Outside the small room, faint voices could be heard.
The bald man spoke finally. ‘Someone will let you know.’
‘Yes, sir,’ he squared his shoulders and turned to leave.
‘A moment?’
‘Sir?’
‘Why did you leave Delta?’
‘I was getting promoted, sir. That meant a desk job.’
‘You don’t like management? The administration side of operations?’
‘I do, sir. But not if it’s what I have to do all day.’
‘You like the money as a private military contractor?’
‘I am a mercenary, sir,’ a smile ghosted over his lips and disappeared quickly. ‘There’s no need to use fancy words. To answer your question, I do, but I don’t do it just for the money.’
‘What’s your name? All the folders are anonymous.’
‘You don’t have to share it, if you don’t want to,’ he added quickly.
‘Zebadiah Carter, sir.’
‘Zebadiah. That’s quite a mouthful, son.’
‘Everyone calls me Zeb, sir.’
And Zeb Carter left the room.
