RAW Deception (Round 2 in the RAW Instinct Series)

Listen to the music: JPee - I'm Not Gay

Sergeant Ellen Mojani, General Miyani's personal assistant called me the moment I got in the following morning. I must have looked a mess; Shane and I only got to bed at two in the morning. Miyani wanted to see me with regards to an urgent matter. Once again, I found myself seated opposite him, staring down my nose at his face. He was a short man.

"The award ceremony at the United Nations in New York has been brought forward. Initially they give out the awards every January, this year they've decided to give them out at the beginning of December. The 3rd December to be exact.

Two weeks away.

"You'll be flying to New York first class, while we, your minions, will tag along in an air force cargo plane. I need to know who you'll be taking with you."

Of course, the first person I mentioned was Shane. "And my son, Edward and his husband."

"Husband?"

"Yes, General. His husband. Do you have a problem with that?"

"Personally, yes. Professionally, no. The air force does not discriminate."

"But personally you do?"

"It's not discrimination, Colonel. It's a personal opinion. I believe marriage is an institution sanctioned by God between a man and a woman, not two men."

"That is your belief, General. The world has changed. Love is love whether it is man on man or man on woman."

"You believe what you want, Colonel. If my son were to be gay, I would probably send him for reversion therapy. If that didn't work, I'd probably disown him."

I could have squeezed the life out of Miyani with my bare hands right there and then. Breaking into a sweat in his cool, air-conditioned office, I glared at him.

"He's not your son, General. Thank God for that."

"Yes, I agree, you should thank God for that, Colonel. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work to do organising this trip."

I stood and came to attention, even though my heart said this man didn't deserve respect, my brain said to hell with that, you don't have to respect the man. You must respect his rank.
