Baron didn’t know, or care to, milled about holding documents in their hands dressed appropriately for an office job. A medical team in blue-and-green scrubs came up to the SEALs and confiscated the unconscious man. Behind them, a tall elderly man with light-brown skin, gray hair, and a clean black suit with a white button-up shirt and a blue tie walked up to them. Baron noticed that he had more creases and wrinkles on his face, as well as a receding hairline, no doubt due to stress, than the average male his age. All the lines covering his face gave him a more withered and tired appearance than he probably intended.
“Good work, folks,” the man said with no hint of a smile.
“I don’t know about that, Admiral, but it went as smoothly as it could under the circumstances,” Coleman replied. Baron looked at the man and thought that this must have been Rear Admiral Hatch, the new commanding officer for Naval Special Operations Command. Baron gave him a once-over and noticed the one thing that seemed to stick out over any other detail. On his left lapel was a small golden pin in the sign of the Navy SEAL badge, an eagle emblazoned in gold over top of an anchor holding a pistol in one claw, and a trident in the other. The admiral caught Baron’s eye and commented on it.
“That’s right, son. I was with the teams,” Admiral Hatch said as just another fact like the sky was blue or he was wearing a suit.
“Aye, Admiral,” was all Baron said in reply.
“Well, let me be the first to welcome you to the CIA’s outpost in Korea.” The admiral gestured with a wave of his hand. “Now let’s get you and your boys into a more secure SCIF and talk about what the hell happened out there.”
