Katanya’s expression grew stormy under the weight of his power stance. The ends of her mouth fell into a frown, brow deepening towards the bridge of her nose. She didn’t reply when he corrected her, merely shifted her head in such a way that suggested she was at the very least listening to him. He could correct her if it made him feel better. She could give him one last chance to feel like he had the upper hand, before she snatched it away from him. The more he spoke to her like she didn’t know how to do her job, the more she found the resolve to do what needed to be done.
“There’s no communication on any detected frequencies,” she replied, keeping her tone even though the words were pushed through clenched teeth. They did not have perimeter security, because there was no reason for the area to be kept secure. She knew this for the obvious reasons, and for the obvious reasons she did not tell him. “Imaging has produced no sign of bodies outside of the abandoned missile silo, sir,” she continued to give her report, almost speaking over him as she answer his questions in time. Her voice carried at the same level as his. “Two matte black armored Denalis no visible weaponry. One matte black Range Rover, no visible weaponry. Three matte black Grand Cherokees no visible weaponry. No visible insignia, clearly for transport. Currently unmanned. No dugouts. For all intents and purposes, for our current visible it’s just a missile silo. Whoever these people are they haven’t been here very long and they have no intention of staying.”
She watched him stare off into the darkness, her anger welling in the brief silence before he gave another command. Moving around the side of the vehicle she glared daggers at him when she slid into the driver’s seat. “I previously felt it unnecessary to remind you, Lieutenant General,” her words were clipped and pushed together tightly as she went through the motions of starting up the vehicle. With a sharp twist of the wheel she pulled off into the darkness. “That I am out here risking life and career on unauthorized orders for you and for your daughter.” She sighed, a sharp exhale through her nose. “You need to calm down,” she finally said it. “And you need to trust me to be able to do my job or this is going to go very wrong, very quickly.”
Truth be told, that was going to happen anyway.
Katanya fell into a silence to match his as she drove.
