Astrid Naidoo found a bleary-eyed General Schiller already at his desk. Her two previous bosses, Lt. Colonel Ashley Wisnewski-Smith and Colonel Charlie Kinokawa, had arrived at work no earlier than 0800 hours and sometimes later. Schiller, on the other hand, got there just after 0500. He never said she had to be there that early, too, Naidoo just assumed it, but today she’d slept right through the wakeup alarm.

“I’m sorry to be late, General. It won’t happen again.”

Schiller waved at her to indicate it didn’t matter. He looked much the worse for wear. Besides the color of his eyes, his face had gone slack and his clothes were rumpled. She wondered if he’d even slept the night before.

“General, would you like some coffee?” she said.

“I found it,” he said in a cracked voice. “I found what happened to the missing Stingers.”

“That’s wonderful, sir!”

“Benghazi. You remember Benghazi?”

“Do you mean the attack on our embassy there, back in 2011?”

“2012, September 11, 2012. Do you remember that?”

“I remember the attack, not the details. What do the Stingers have to do with that?”

“It’s why we didn’t send in air support. The terrorists had those Stingers and somebody in our government knew about it.”
