"I'm sorry to jack with your leave," says the tall, aging surf bum who introduced himself as CWO Bannon and has an ID to match. He slides a beer across the table in what's probably a more honest apology than his words. "Travel schedules are all fucked up with the holidays and this was my best chance to catch you. I'll get you back to your wife in an hour, max."
"I'm guessing you already verified me through JSOC after I called you this afternoon. If you didn't, your security awareness is seriously lacking and you're not the guy we want." He catches your skeptical glance around the restaurant and shrugs. "Hey, places like this are lousy for noise filtering with the sea state like this," he gestures toward the dunes with his own beer, "and fuck me if I'm coming down to the Banks to catch you and missing a chance to eat here.
"Anyway. This is a recruiting pitch, cleared through your bosses. There's no penalty if you turn it down, God knows JSOC didn't want us to swipe you. But we're expanding a joint counter-proliferation unit that has a direct line to NATO command. Lots of high-tech stuff, what the boss likes to call 'emerging and disruptive technologies.' There's a whole locker full of hundred-pound heads on the back end analyzing the take, but we need operators in the front office who are smart and educated enough to make the right decisions in the field. Basing is in an unspecified country that looks a lot like Turkey on a map, but ops are all over Europe and the Middle East.
"What else do you need to know?"
