You don't 'suppose' very often in this business. I think two trips to this particular well is enough. Well, that looked like a stretch limo, maybe a big Mercedes. A major sat down next to him after asking permission - Robby was two grades higher. This was what his little brother did for a living. The fighter pilot looked at them with some amusement. Also aboard were sixty or so soldiers with full gear. Robby Jackson had a two-hour layover before boarding the Air Force C-141B, which with its refueling housing looked rather like a green, swept-wing snake. That sort of mistake was often fatal, and he'd allowed himself to forget just how serious it was. They'd been concentrating on the target then, but Clark reproached himself for not remembering to check around further. Neither man had noticed the Mercedes pull into the overlook. Two automobile headlights appeared on a hillside three miles away. Must be nice to do all your work sitting down, the major observed. We got a carrier group operating offshore.

Is it that bad? My brother told me he lost a really good - squad leader? Anyway, is it that big a deal? The big, fast one? Somebody with big-time money, then.
