General Brushwood took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair, staring into space. His mind was in another place; he was getting ready to meet with Jehovivich to talk about her attitude and everything that had recently happened between her and the demons.

He had received her file, and though there was an obvious reason for what was going on, it wasn’t as black and white as he had hoped. She was good at her job, no doubt about that, but the issue needed to be addressed.

He was stirred from his thoughts by a knock on his door. “Come in,” he called, sitting up in his chair.

“Morning, sir.” Jehovivich stepped inside. “You wanted to see me?”

“Yes. Please sit down.” He pointed to the chair in front of his desk.

She nodded but paused as she sat, staring at her open file on the desk. She looked up at him and cleared her throat, sitting the rest of the way down and placing her hands in her lap. He pushed the papers around and took a deep breath, putting his fingers to his lips.

“That’s my file,” she began. “Am I in trouble?”

“No,” he replied, “but we should go over some things.”

He turned the paper over and leaned forward to read through her service record.

“You have an impeccable record, Colonel. You have received six different awards, seven ribbons, an exemplary rating from every command, and you have never visited sickbay since you entered the service. You don’t take vacations, you don’t take leave, and you put your nose to the grindstone.”

“This is more than a career for me, sir,” she told him. “It is my life. I will have plenty of time to take vacations when I am out of the service.”

“Right,” the general agreed. “You are a distinguished soldier.”

“Thank you, sir” she replied.

“BUT…you have a very black-and-white attitude about killing demons. You have this outlook that all demons are bad, no matter whether they are allies or not. You almost despise the human that has been infected, regardless of the fact that it wasn’t their fault. In this line of work that can be a serious problem, and it raises a warning to me on how to handle you around the mercenaries. I want to trust you, but part of me fears that I will turn around one day and find that you have shot our ally in the back with one of their own bullets. We need to discuss this, because if we are going to move forward I need to understand where you are coming from.”

She looked at him for a moment before answering. “I would never do that unless it was a direct order from you or a superior and they posed a significant threat.”

“I want to believe that,” the general replied. “And I appreciate your dedication and loyalty to the service, but that still does not explain your mindset toward the Damned and demons.”

She sat there silently for a moment, trying to find the words. “I don’t know what you want me to tell you, sir.
