Along with Cortana signaling with her eyes, Jason watched as the screen went dark.
Frowning, Jason was taken aback by the general's reaction.
And those last words, "Can I trust Koda?"
Such a hint-laden remark sparked an involuntary guess in the depths of Jason's mind—
Maybe the "Ground Reconnaissance Bureau" was not unaware of the Sabie Aliens' plan!
At least, that was the impression the old general gave Jason, as though the other party had known all along.
Then...
Sensing something, Jason narrowed his eyes, an unusual glint flashing across them.
...
"General, should we give any special instructions to Sergeant Major Jason?"
In the conference room, a staff officer asked the general who had just ended communication in a soft voice.
"No need for that."
"Sergeant Major Jason is smarter and more cautious than we thought," the officer said.
"He knows what he should do."
The general waved his hand and then picked up Jennifer's notebook.
