Steven Poe was nervous as hell, and it wasn’t easy to make such a man nervous. He had seen war, terrorism, and all kinds of private security ranging from diplomat escorting to out and out assassination.

Still, he knew what he was doing as he drove the van through the Birmingham streets. He’d known since he received the call two days prior. He was participating in a new kind of war.

Steven had been watching the television over the past week, as he imagined the rest of the country was. Most people were saying this type of war couldn’t be defined. It wasn’t terrorism. There were no political means to be gained. It wasn’t warfare with another nation.

This was a private war, dictated by the whims of one man and the end goal unspecified.

The talking heads on the television were saying that the world had entered a new era. Though they were all careful not to define it, Steven knew its definition.

They had entered the Luke Titan era.

Steven had signed up for the man’s army. The pay was right, which was all that mattered. The covert wars in the eighties taught Steven that flags weren’t worth dying for, but money might be. Steven had decided he’d get paid good money to ruin lives when he witnessed the hell he and his colleagues created by killing dictators and creating a power vacuum.

Fifty thousand dollars to create hell on Earth simply wasn’t worth it.

Steven had been contacted three days ago and the price was fair. He only had to drop this van off at the building three blocks away and he would be about ten years closer to retirement.

The plan, as it had been laid out, was simple. Security had been increased across the country, but Birmingham, Alabama—despite what they portrayed to the outside world—was still behind in most areas of life. That included FBI security.

Steven had received the credentials yesterday, and he was to show them to the security guard, then pull the van right up to the front door. The front of the building was shaped like an arrow. He would park at the crux of it, then get out and walk off.

Simple.

Once he was three or four blocks away, he would press the clicker in his pocket, sending a radio signal to the van and detonating the equivalent of four tons of dynamite.

Steven felt nervous though, regardless how simple the plan was. If something went wrong. If the credentials didn’t work, or someone asked to look in the back of the van. He would either end up dead or in jail. Neither of which were great. Still, he kept a calm appearance as the vehicle rolled past the last stoplight and up to the security checkpoint.

“How are you doing?” one of the security guards asked.

Security might be lighter here than in the rest of the country, but Steven still didn’t like what he saw. The guard house had three people inside it, including the person who’d stepped outside. He didn’t see any automatic weapons, but everyone was packing.
