King moved from his squatting position to a more comfortable cross-legged one, seeming not to care that he was sitting in the sand. He was prepared for the question to be thrown back at him. What was it his father had said? 'Never ask a question unless you're prepared to answer it yourself.'

"I'm retired too," he responded evenly. "But until last year I was a military tactician. Special ops." He looked out over the waves, fighting the urge to add that terrorist groups weren't the only organizations that could refuse to allow their members to leave. King had been trying to get out for years and he was solidly convinced that his leaders' refusal to grant him permission to leave that had ultimately cost him his family.
