Carr looked up at the graying tiles of his boss’s ceiling and began counting to ten. He almost made it to three. “What do you mean, I can’t brief my men? They’re putting their lives at risk, commander. Big risk. These aren’t stone-throwers you’re asking us to kill. These are the guys who took out the World Trade Center.”
Commander Potchak stood. He was a head shorter than Odi but built like a fireplug, and every bit as tough. “What’s your point?”
Odi leaned forward and rested predatory palms on the edge of Potchak’s metal desk. “My point, sir, is that we’re giving up a crucial advantage if we don’t rehearse. I want to give my men every available advantage. They deserve no less.”
Potchak did not twitch or blink. He just stared back cold and hard for a couple seconds and then said, “If you’re not up to it, Agent Carr, I’ll give Echo Team to Waslager. He’s been itching to go international. You can sit this one out—in isolation of course.”
Odi wanted to leap over the desk, grab his boss by the ears and put a knee through his smug face, but he knew that would not help his team. Instead he bit back his frustration and tried to suck it up like a good soldier. “That won’t be necessary, sir.”
Potchak turned and spat a thick river of tobacco juice into his trashcan, making Odi forget his own frustration for a moment to pity Jose the janitor. “Good,” Potchak said. “Now, if you’ll take your head just a little bit farther out of your ass and break this task down, you’ll see that I’m not ordering you to give anything up. The physics of the assault are the same whether it’s Hogan’s Alley or I-fucking-ran. A building is a building. A grenade is a grenade. Considering that you used to be the Bureau’s top Explosive-Ordnance-Disposal pro, you should know that. All you need to rehearse effectively are models of the buildings and the lie of the land. Both are at your disposal, so I don’t want to hear any more whining.”
