Two pairs of dark eyes. Daemon and Henry James had a standoff for a moment, before Daemon nodded slowly, his face returning to an emotionless state. He placed the sniper rifle he had on him on the desk and reported in a flat voice:
"The mission was a success. Number of casualties, six. As a tier zero team, we used less than sixty seconds to clean the dozens of hostiles in the killzone. We failed to find the target, and while interrogating the lure we found in its place, a GGM was dropped on us. I survived, and deduced the location of the target, and I put a bullet in his head with Angel's rifle. End of report, sir."
The last word was said in a faint voice, but Henry James didn't focus on that. Nor did he focus on the underlying part of the report.
