MD 1.

Dulles Int'l Airport

They were sitting in a booth in the back of a café, drinking coffee (and grapesoda). Cody was reading his Boba Fett comic, the others were busy reading files and discussing what they had, and hadn't found out so far. They (Vynce's mother that was)had found out that all the mummified corpses found so far, including "their" Colonel, had at one time or another served in the Royal Anglian Guards in Colchester. On the other hand, they hadn't found out anything about the "hit squad" that Cody and Randa already had encountered twice. other than that they exclusively used soldiers who was reported as KIA's. Cody had pointed out that there were no known squads in the US Army, Navy or Air Force who used that insignia.

Their flight was called, and they started to gather their belongings. Cody was the last one to leave the booth, and was also the last passenger in the line. Therefore he noticed the man right away. He was slightly taller than the other passengers, about Cody's own height, and heavily built. So far there was nothing unusual, but he wore a black cap, and black sunglasses. Then Cody noticed something funny in the way he moved. He could not pinpoint it 100%, but it was very funny. When he came closer to the gate, the smell hit him like a wall.

"Jeez," he thought to himself. "Guess he's been kinda unlucky with the after shave."

Little did he know that he would stand face to face with this man, staring down the barrel of his gun not long after.
