Dying of the Light Page #4

---

The O.M.S. has a

state-of-the-art facility.

In addition to which, we coordinate our

efforts with A.F.R.H. Here in Washington.

And we'd like to make this

as easy as possible for you.

We've been speaking to the D.D.O.

We'll have a retirement dinner.

The press... everyone'll come, heck,

even the president will be there.

Banir. What about Banir?

Muhammad Banir is dead, Lake.

Has been for 22 years.

We interviewed your

departmental associates.

We are concerned about these

mood swings you've been suffering,

the unpredictability of behavior.

Banir, damn it.

There is a concern that you could

become a liability to the agency.

- F*** you.

- Calm down.

I'm a liability? You f***ed this up just

like you f***ed up everything else.

F***ed up Iran-contra, f***ed up Ames,

f***ed up 9/11, f***ed up W.M.D.,

Afghanistan, Iraq, Benghazi.

Not you yourself of course, no.

No, you're just the latest

in a long line of f***-ups

who turned this agency into a cesspool

of politics and special interests

on behalf of the weapons makers

and the surveillance industry,

who get richer while we get weaker!

- Mr. Lake.

- I could...

I've forgotten more about this

agency than you'll ever know.

Who put you up to this? Whose got

their hand in your pocket now?

I've seen a million people like you.

A million people.

You've got your head

so far up Obama's ass,

you can't see anything except

his sh*t anymore. Shame on you.

Shame on you.

- Agent Lake?

- Yes.

The director's asked us to

collect your security badge.

Please stand, sir.

Sir, we've been instructed to

escort you out of the facility.

Place the items you would like to take

here on the desk for inspection, sir.

- You want to check my aftershave?

- There's no need to be snippy, sir.

You want my life? You want my files?

Here, take them!

Would you like awards? Here.

Here's a couple of them for you.

This is what they give to a**holes like me

who give their lives for their country!

Core values!

Get someone else to give your

goddamn lecture! I resign!

I have your stuff. I... I hope you

don't mind. I didn't want to leave it there.

Can I come in?

Yeah, come in.

Thanks.

You... you want something to drink?

What are you having?

- Sake.

- Sounds good.

I screwed up pretty bad today?

No going back.

So much for the retirement party.

They're not gonna do

nothing about Banir.

They treated me like I

was some sort of crackpot.

- Kanpai.

- Kanpai.

Have a seat.

That's the other reason I came.

N.S.A. forwarded a copy

of Abdi's flash drive.

The prescribing physician is

Dr. Iulian Cornel, medical research.

That's why none of the

indicators went off.

- How long has this been happening?
