Chapter 73. SPECIAL FORCES

Riding in the van with Garreth driving, Hollis admires fifteen-year-old Tito’s presence [“pretty enough, at rest, almost feminine, but when he moved with purpose, he became beautiful”]. Garreth tells Hollis how he came to meet the old man who he learned was a career national security agent, pissed off about 9/11, who lives to harass “people profiting from the war in Iraq.” [375 characters]
