She shrugged again. SHe was used to people acting that way towards her. "Wouldn't mean much of a difference to me. But at least now you know who I am, why I'm doing this, and why I can actually do something to protect you and your sister. I already brought it up to Tobias. He said if you and your sister agree, he's all in for the idea."

"Right. An idea I'm supposed to blindly follow.."

"No...How it works is you approve the release of the file, then I tell you how I'm going to protect you. That's not blind following. It's actually similar to a normal mission. One where you won't go back to Ebinay, but instead to somewhere else. With protection. ANd your sister will join you. Not right away, of course. But less than 24 hours after your arrival, she'll be there as well."

"And why can my sister not join immediately?"

"Once you hear the plan, you'll understand. Believe it or not, Tobias asked the same question. But he did want me to relay that you have his word that no harm will come to her. THough part of that has to do with her remaining behind a few hours."

Jarid gave a low growl.
"If ANY harm comes to my sister, I will make sure half of this damn planet is nothing but smoldering ASH."

THe woman chuckled. "THere's only two forces on Earth that could accomplish that. THe European Union's Ultra-Destroyer, and the Russians. THat's about it. But, you still don;t need to worry, even without the threats, your sister will be fine. There's nothing out there that either enemy has that can tangle with four Storm Sworders. She'll be perfectly fine."

"And so all I have to do apparently is just agree to look in a briefcase that, for all I know, could be empty, and trust you to keep to your word..?"

"No...you have to agree to let the file be released. Which means you have to read it first. Which means I have to take it out of said briefcase. You're going to have to put a little more trust in me than that. You HAVE been trusting me since you joined the Army anyway."

Her eyebrow's raised in mock surprise. "Oh? Really. Now how did I ever do that?"

"I'm not. I'm simply amused at the fact you believe that I personally betrayed you. This is something I have to hear. I might have to use it if I ever take up stand-up as a second profession." She leaned back and clasped her hands on her lap, as if getting comfortable.

"I'm not insulting you. In fact, if there's insulting going on in this room, it's you insulting me. THe only reason I'm not insulted, is that I can understand where you're coming from." SHe flashed him a smile with an undertone of malice. "Oh, and remember that part about this being my base? Yeah...there's no one without 1,000 miles that could remove me from this room. Not legally, anyway. So please, drop the warrior facade and explain to me how I betrayed you. And then I'll explain why it is anyone else in my position would have been insulted."
