Somewhere over Europe

Feeling a little like the universe had just kicked him in the face, Rook slumped against a bulkhead. He noted a rivulet of blood creeping out from under the motionless body of Joseph Mulamba, and realized that if he didn’t move, it would eventually pool around his feet.

He didn’t move. There was already a lot of the man’s blood on him, symbolically and literally. What difference would a little more make?

Queen gazed in silent disbelief at the man they had so badly failed. She squeezed her eyes together for almost a full minute, but then she opened them and sat a little straighter.

“Okay. Let’s talk about what happens next.”

“Next? We blew it. Game over.”

“Knock it off,” she said, her tone sharper than usual. “You can have a pity party on your own time. We’ve still got a mission.”

“What mission?” he said slowly, through clenched teeth.

“Helping him…” She pointed to Mulamba’s still form, “…save his country. That’s what we agreed to do, remember?”

Rook took a deep breath. “How do we do that now?”

Queen leaned over the body and searched it, producing the envelope from the Stanley archive. A corner of the yellowed paper was stained dark red. She slipped the folded papers from inside and began reading.

Rook shook his head. He didn’t see the point of chasing after Mulamba’s mythical lost city now. It had been a long shot to begin with, and now that Mulamba was gone, the impact of any discovery they made might be negligible. But as Queen finished reading the first page and handed it to him, he straightened up and began reading aloud.
