"I gave you a job, I didn't say it would be easy." the General said looking at Jace directly in the eye.
"At this point she's going to get everyone killed, myself included."Jace was at the point of begging, a point he had never pictured himself being in.
The General didn't bat an eyelid as he calmly stated, " And its your job to make sure that that doesn't happen. If you don't, its your head on the line and my job too. So keep her safe."
Jace gave up his argument but that didn't stop him from asking, " why are we even protecting her? She has enough man power to rival the queens. Besides .... She's a criminal. "
The General pinned Jace down with a stare and ground out, "She's an asset! And your job is to protect her no matter the cost. Now go, your flight leaves in 0800 hours. You're dismissed."
Jace knew that any more argument was null and void the minute the general got back to his paper work. So he stood up and walked out the door with only one thought, He was royally screwed.
