“Why can’t they just trust us to make the risk assessment and act autonomously?”
“They do. You’re an excellent soldier, Jack. You all are, and that’s why we have a strong Unit here. I’m proud of you and will support you all I can, but I’ve been asked to remind you of the rules.”
“But…why if we’re doing such a good job?” asked Amy, her eyes narrowing. “Is someone complaining?”
“Consider it like the army. A soldier doesn’t go solo or question what, where, or why they’re working on a mission. They just follow orders, trusting their superiors and the governments making decisions for them.”
“Yeah, and look where that got us,” scoffed Jack.
Maggie ignored him.
“You’re doing a good job, but to do my job, I need you to trust me and keep quiet. Otherwise, I’ll lose you and they’ll close the Unit.”
“Has someone said something about us?” Pyke asked.
Silence.
