Major Poole stood outside not wanting to go inside the tent that belong to Colonel Patterson.
He took a deep breath as the wind howled around him again,damn country I wonder where that bastard is now,he thought. And what did he plan on doing with Snowdrop.It was a bustling day here at Camp,HellSweat the name given it to it because of the terrible weather they had.It would be terribly hot one day then awful cold the next.Well here goes nothing. He stepped inside the tent asking his secretary if the Colonel was in.'Go in,sir,but I tell ya he's not n a good mood.'That's all Poole had to hear,it was now or never.' Come in Poole,' said the Colonel.' He did.
Colonel Patterson was on the phone standing but when Poole came in he sat down.' Now what's on your mind? he asked,Poole noticed he was not having a good day,so what he was going too say was going to make it worse,he sat down and looked at the Colonel,he took a deep breath,' Sir,'he started too say,'One of our secrets has been stolen.'The expression on the Colonel's face changed from mildly angry to mad.' What? Which one? he asked .Poole explained,' It was Captain
Matt George,he went AWOL after you denied him leave to go see his family,he took Snowdrop.'I thought I would never see anyone as mad as the Colonel just then.' I thought we had Snowdrop guarded ,Major,'he slammed a fist onto his desk.
'Matt was one of the guards sir,'he's probably in America by now.' Colonel Patterson stood,'I don't give a damn about George,'he said,'Alright select three men you trust we're going to America to stop George,at no matter the costs,nobody must know about Snowdrop you hear,we're in deep shit
Major.' I turned about ready to leave,'Sir shouldn't we contact the Pentagon or the President ,shouldn't they know about Snowdrop.'
Colonel Patterson laughed,' You forget Major what Snowdrop did last time,no I don't think so, he's our responsibility and so is Snowdrop ,go get our team ready and I'll get everything else ready.'
