Within five minutes, General Roth had the Military Police assembled in the briefing room. His expression was carved from stone, his voice clipped and low \u2014 the tone every officer recognized as lethal calm.<\/p>\n
\u201cLock down the base,\u201d he ordered. \u201cNobody leaves until I say so.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
The MPs exchanged wary glances. They\u2019d seen the general angry before, but never like this.<\/p>\n
When the last soldier had filed out, Roth turned to his aide. \u201cFind Captain Mills. Bring him to my office. Now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The aide hesitated. \u201cSir, Captain Mills is\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u00a0know<\/em>\u00a0where he is,\u201d Roth snapped. Then, quieter: \u201cBring him.\u201d<\/p>\n
