“Yes, sir.”
“You bet your ass there’s going to be a full-scale investigation.”
“I welcome it,” Dog said.
“You don’t have to lie.” Magnus snorted. He too seemed to have spent most of his fury. “Get your p’s and q’s in line. The fallout on this one is going to be heavy.”
The line snapped dead before Dog could say anything else.
Did the President’s phone call mean he would survive this no matter what? Or did it simply mean the brass would stack the odds monumentally against him?
Dog got up from the desk. He felt depressed and tired. Under ordinary circumstances, he’d work off the cloud by hopping into a cockpit and getting some flying time. Throw himself into the sky, clear his head.
He glanced down at Ax’s neat piles of paperwork and the reports waiting for his inspection.
He wavered. He was no good when feeling like this, out of sorts — how could he command anyone?
How could he expect others to follow orders if he disobeyed his?
Magnus hadn’t said he couldn’t fly. He’d said when the shit hit the fan, he belonged on the ground.
The general meant he belonged where he could control things. Truth was, with a fleet of Megafortresses, that might very well be in the air, not on the ground.
There was work to be done. Bastian sighed and pulled out his chair.
Then he pushed it back and went to find a plane in need of a check-flight.
