Chico glared, clearly fumed. "You and your friends? You selfish, arrogant
ass," he returned Terry's rebuke.

The Colonel sighed. "Terry," the man called out, his voice pleading. "I
can understand your concerns for you and your friends, but you'll have to
understand, I have to worry about more than you or your friends. I have
the whole team to worry about. I clearly underestimated the Bishop, but he
is no longer a problem. There were people involved in his disposal into
the Gallows Pool that must remain anomynous for all our safety." The
Colonel voice grew stern. "I would ask that you not press me further on
this subject."

Others in the hangar were growing aggitated and began interupting each
other, pressing the Colonel and clearly sharing Terry's concern. The
Colonel settled into the team's rhetoric. "Perhaps, I can explain more
later, but for now I want to move on from the setbacks of the past days,
weeks and months," he declared. He looked at Chico, clearly still
agitated, and then his wife. "To that end, dear?"
