Graduation was an understated affair. There were no certificates or awards of any kind given out. To the rest of the world, Camp X did not exist, and no one here needed to see proof that they had successfully completed the training. If they hadn’t, they wouldn’t be here.

Nevertheless, Gerald called the group of six into his office to officially welcome them to Camp X as graduates.

“Camp X is known by a few names,” he began, surprising Dot. After all they’d been taught over the past two months, she was impressed he still had information to share. “To the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, we are S25-1-1. To the Canadian military we are Project J. The Special Operations Executive, a branch of Britain’s MI-6, calls us STS-103. Whatever the name, we are the organization that everyone—and no one—is talking about. We came into existence December 6, 1941, because of a request made by Sir Winston Churchill to the chief of the British Security Co-ordination, William Stephenson, a Canadian from Winnipeg. Churchill’s exact words to Stephenson were that he wanted him to create ‘the clenched fist that would provide the knockout blow’ to the Axis powers.”

With a flourish, Gerald raised his closed fist and met the eyes of each graduate for a heartbeat. “Ladies and gentlemen, that is who we are. We are that closed fist. Welcome to the team.”
