<p>You sleep deeply but not for very long: the truck comes to a stop barely an hour after you closed your eyes, and you are woken by the sudden lack of movement. <quote>Where are we?</quote> you ask, shielding your bleary eyes from the glare of the early morning sunlight.</p>
<p><quote>Bout a mile from the border,</quote> says the captain, as he pulls open the tailgate latch and lets the heavy section swing down noisily. <quote>There<ch.apos/>s trouble up ahead. You two had better take a look for y<ch.apos/>selves.</quote></p>
<p>You and Sergeant Haskell stretch your aching limbs, and then ease yourselves down from the truck to take a look at your surroundings. You have stopped on a boulder-strewn highway that descends towards a town occupying a narrow mountain pass. North, beyond the sun-bleached buildings, the peaks of the Florida Mountains dominate the skyline. To the west of the town, another highway branches away at a junction that is marked with a battered road sign.</p>

- <p>You focus your lenses to see a figure moving among the gnarled grey pine trunks less than thirty yards away. A bearded man in his mid-forties, he is dressed in a plaid shirt and patched blue jeans. He is carrying a clutch of dead rabbits in one hand and a small axe in the other. Quietly you tell Knott exactly what you can see, and he replies: <quote>He doesn<ch.apos/>t sound much like a HAVOC assassin. What d<ch.apos/>you think we should do, Cal?</quote></p>
