"Could we not do this in private?" Magnusson asked.

Ian realized that they were drawing curious stares from passersby. He continued to walk.

"I am worried about Alison."

" Alison?" Ian said so softly it sounded like a shout to Ragnor's ears. "You dare to use her given name? She's your freakin' superior officer." The compromise was becoming clearer and clearer to Ian, and the ramifications could be ominous for both his sister and the SEAL trainee.

Magnusson waved a hand airily.

"Why are you worried about my sister?" They entered MacLean's office, and he slammed the door loudly behind them. He sank down into the chair behind his desk, mainly to put some distance between them. He couldn't recall a time when he'd been so tempted to wring a man's neck, except maybe for the slimeball that had screwed his fiancée when he'd been OUTCONUS on a field op.

Magnusson, ignoring protocol, sat down in the chair in front of Ian's desk and signed wearily. Apparently, broom-handle tossing was hard work. "When I was at her keep last night, there was a man loitering in the side courtyard. That on top of the stalking telephone calls, and her quarters having been entered on another occasion. Even though she called the policing man for help, I believe she needs guarding. And not just from that puny dog of her landlady's, either."

Ian pressed the fingertips of both hands to his eyeballs in a futile effort to calm his pounding brain. Besides, if his hands remained idle, he just might leap over the desk and throttle him-who-had-no-brain.

Taking Ian's silence for permission to proceed, the dimwit did just that. "I understand that our SEAL teams will be going to jump school soon in far off George-hah, though I find it hard to believe that jump school is what Cage tells me it is. Surely you would not make your soldiers jump out of the sky and float to the earth like bloody birds. I for one refuse to kill myself by splattering my body in a thousand pieces; a sword to the heart would be preferable, if you ask me. Besides…" His words trailed off as he noticed Ian's red face and bulging eyes. He concluded quickly, "That is why I needed to speak with you.

Together we must needs come up with a plan to smoke out Alison's enemy, and to keep her safe whilst doing so."

"Do they ever shut up on your planet, Magnusson?"

"Huh?"

"There is a rule about holes."
