The next afternoon.
Simon was in his office, playing with a set of darts again.
The darts helped him concentrate and eased the pressure of his work.
As the head of an intelligence station, especially one in a war zone, Simon was under no small amount of stress.
Gathering information on the various rebel armed organizations scattered throughout Illiguo, co-opting local tribal powers, aligning with large armed groups like the Kurd Armed, guarding against Persian infiltration from the north, and even surveilling Illiguo officials within the temporary government to see if they harbored any ulterior motives or were involved in unsavory activities.
Even the US military was under Simon's surveillance.
That's why high-ranking US Army officers like Peter and their backers at the Pentagon genuinely detested these intelligence operatives.
The CIA is accountable to the President, while constitutionally, the military belongs to the United States of America.
