“I got a hot one for you,” I heard in my earpiece. “Administration says we need to take care of this immediately and they are ordering you to go.”856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26jUZ3W1S8

“What do they want me to do now; question another one of his soldiers? Let the media censors handle it,” I told Ernie, not caring which Administration honcho was jerking his chain this time.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoHReP2Yyi

“Nope, this one is much worse. The guy is someone extremely close with Bryce with Level Three Clearance.”856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvvHITH9fL

That got my attention. People that Bryce had a personal attachment to were some of the most stable and reliable assets of the Policy, Planning, and Procedures Rebel coalition we all worked for. Why would anyone like that go shooting off his mouth? 856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPJswXyYBf

“That’s interesting,” I said. “Anything else you want to let me in on?”856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDQ0x7NVy3

“No, just pick up your travel orders at Q-Desk and pack for about three days. Your plane will be ready in two hours.”856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmeIXCCqp2

“Three days,” the words repeated in my head, “Just where the hell are you sending me?”856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx0YfFOPAh

“Camp J-FK, so have fun, and no, you don’t have to thank me.” Ernie’s Georgian sarcasm was as annoying as his horrible southern accent.856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunY6k5zK7s

Camp J-FK is a rock in the middle of the Pacific where the PPP holds people they don’t want anyone talking to. In the old days, the former USA used the place to destroy nerve gas. The place was ideal to house prisoners because it was so isolated no one could escape and more importantly no one would ask pesky questions about what was going on. 856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Jodj3TqV

Besides the two blocks of holding cells, a nuclear power plant, a desalinization plant, storage buildings, long runway, a security staff of 50 and support staff of 25, there was nothing there but seagull’s dump, and people the PPP wanted incommunicado, but not yet dead. It was, is, and forever will be, a barren hunk of coral rock that no one cares about. The post was considered punishment duty for those PPP staff members who managed to piss-off PPP Administration for some reason. 856Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qW2yOJKT3

I landed the Agency jet on the runway with a thud. My spine figured out immediately no one had taken the trouble to repave it now for a decade or two. After I pulled up to the one gate, I was met by a staff of three security men. One wore the gold stripes of a base commander. I got out of the small craft carrying my travel bag. I looked around the base while walking over. It looked to be in about as good a condition as the runway. No scarce resources going to waste here.
