Roth\u2019s jaw tightened, his knuckles whitening as he clenched his hands together. \u201cDid anyone else see this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, sir. He told me no one would believe me. Said he could end my career if I said anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Roth stood up slowly, his height filling the small room. \u201cHe was wrong,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
By the time Captain Mills was escorted into the general\u2019s office, the man already knew he was in trouble. He tried to play it cool \u2014 adjusted his uniform, forced a smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir, you wanted to see me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Roth didn\u2019t look up from the file in front of him. \u201cClose the door, Captain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mills obeyed, the faint trace of arrogance still in his stride.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve received a report,\u201d Roth began. \u201cConcerning misconduct. Against a subordinate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mills\u2019s smile faltered. \u201cSir, if this is about Sergeant Davis, she\u2019s mistaken. She came into my office\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
Roth\u2019s fist slammed down on the desk. The sound cracked like thunder.<\/p>\n
