“It is lamentable that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.”
Voltaire
1
Devin Nelson stood in the Oval Office before the President of the United States and said, ‘Do you trust me?’
The President hesitated. ‘Would you be here if I didn’t?’
The thick oval rug muffled their words. Nelson liked that. If they reached unwanted ears, they would cost him his career, his wellbeing, and almost certainly his life. His involvement in the world of covert black-ops afforded him the ability to rid the meeting of lingering officials. The Secret Service were outside in the adjoining office, waiting diligently for the briefing to conclude.
It didn’t help Nelson’s nerves that he’d spent all day thinking about this moment. In typical presidential fashion, the planned early-morning debrief on active wet work missions had been rescheduled twice to accommodate the President’s chaotic and never-ending list of obligations.
Finally Nelson had wormed his way into a 5:30p.m. debrief, and the time slot had miraculously stuck.
Now the President stood above the Seal, the coat of arms adorning the middle of the rug. It formed the centrepiece of the room. The man was in his early sixties with steel grey hair, cut short. His suit was tailored to his thin frame and his eyes were pale blue, sharp and uncompromising. It was like he never blinked. Nelson had known that gaze for decades, well before the man took office. Its unwavering power had carried him to the highest throne in the land.
Elevated him to places neither of them anticipated.
‘It’s my job to be here,’ Nelson said. ‘I’d understand if you didn’t have the same confidence in me as you did in the old days.’
‘Why would anything have changed?’
‘I’m just asking.’
‘But why are you asking, Devin?’
He was the President, after all. If he didn’t know how to cut to the chase, he’d have been bullied out of power at the beginning of his term.
Nelson said, ‘I have something for you.’
He slipped a tiny glass vial out of his inside jacket pocket. He held the contents up for scrutiny. The liquid within gleamed under the lights. It was semi-dark outside now, the White House grounds coated in a stormy grey, which only emphasised the allure of the amber substance, like a warm hug on a cold night.
The President stared at the vial for a beat. ‘I don’t know what that is, but how the fuck did you get it in here?’
‘You think they bring me in through the front?’ Nelson said. ‘You think I’m subjected to the routine for regular schmucks? All those screening procedures?’
The President shrugged. He rounded the Resolute desk, that giant old-fashioned slab, and sat down in his chair. Then he gestured for Nelson to sit opposite.
Which definitely wasn’t, ‘No, put that away and get out.’
Nelson hadn’t entered the White House the “regular schmuck” way in nearly a decade. He reminisced on the painstaking security measures — passing the Uniformed Division officers with their rifles, the Belgian Malinois’ sniffing for explosives, the infrared and audio detectors, the marksmen on the roof, the sweeps, the frisk searches, the alarms just waiting to blare if so much as a hint of treachery was detected.
Nelson had abandoned all that when he’d ceased to exist. Running black operations does wonders for expediency. All those boring hoops public officials have to jump through become an outdated relic of the past.
With great power comes … well, whatever you want, really.
So now Nelson came and went as he pleased, away from the lens of public scrutiny, delivering intelligence briefings to perhaps the most famous individual on the planet.
Information that would never make the news or the talk shows.
Now he pulled up an ornate wooden chair and sat
