Parker Green's Office - Shadow's Base
When Chris left, Parker paged someone who arrived several minutes later.
"You called me, Sir?" A man in his early thirties stood ramrod straight in front of Parker's table.
"Ah, yes. Agent Gus… just the man that I need to see. How are you, son?" Parker got up from his desk and walked around to greet the man, tapping him by his shoulder.
"I'm doing great, Sir. Always ready to be of service. Do I have a mission?"
Parker's sly chuckle caused Gus to be alert. "This is why you're one of my favorites. You truly uphold your name 'The Gazelle'. Fast… straightforward… and also deadly," he winked, turning around to sit back on his chair.
"Thank you, Sir. I only do my assignments to the best of my ability."
"Good good good. Yes, I do have a special mission for you. Confidential. Can I trust you to keep it between us?"
"Of course. My loyalty is always with Shadow, Sir. You know that."
