"You will listen to him. He has been assigned to head this op.
"A local?" there were some jeers and comments from the back of the room.
"He has knowledge of the person we are to retrieve. He also has info on the ......activities." The General turned towards Billy. "Chief Adahy, the floor is yours."
"The person we need to contact is a retired undercover agent."
"Why doesn't the government reactivate him?"
"Actually, up until now, I was the only person who knew she was alive."
"She?"
"You've got to be kidding?"
"Trust me when I say, it will take every last man here to get to her. If all of you come out of this alive, it will be amazing."
"One Woman?"
"One agent, and don't forget it. Do not start to think of this person in a gender specific way, because when you do, it will be you first and last mistake. It took a small army to take her and her partner down. That was over 150 men, gentlemen. 150 good men and only twenty left standing."
"What is she, some ninja assassin?" Some more snickers from the back of the room.
"Worse," The General, who was quiet up till now, spoke up. "She's real. I was there and it was my mission and my men. And figure this out men, not one of the soldiers were killed, they were only wounded and it was intentional. So do not underestimate your opponent. The town's people leave her pretty much alone. They say she walks with the spirits of the animals. People have gone in, and never come back out."
