  CHAPTER 19 — REBEL

  "Putting in Achilles was Graff's last act, and we know there were grave concerns. Why not play it safe and at least change Achilles to another army?"

  "This is not necessarily a Bonzo Madrid situation for Bean."

  "But we have no assurance that it's not, sir. Colonel Graff kept a lot of information to himself. A lot of conversations with Sister Carlotta, for instance, with no memo of what was said. Graff knows things about Bean and, I can promise you, about Achilles as well. I think he's laid a trap for us."

  "Wrong, Captain Dimak. If Graff laid a trap, it was not for us."

  "You're sure of that?"

  "Graff doesn't play bureaucratic games. He doesn't give a damn about you and me. If he laid a trap, it's for Bean."

  "Well that's my point!"

  "I understand your point. But Achilles stays."
