Rating: Good for all readers.
James sat quietly on a chair outside the room where he was supposed to be meeting General David Selwyn, director of the joint chiefs. He had not slept well the night before, not even when he resorted to taking some of the painkillers he hadn't after the first few days of his injuries. At least he was out of the heavy bandages. The burns were still healing, the new skin still pink and extremely tender. To the point he still had to forgo belts with his suit pants. His sister had shown him a nifty trick with a vest clip that kept them up without adding too much pressure. So he looked like an idiot if he took his coat off, but it was better than his pants falling down.
He did not know much about the Director, other than what he'd seen in various reports that had nothing to do with this investigation and no idea what to expect. What if they asked him about being a reincarnate? James didn't think that would come up again, but he knew the right ways to keep it from being found out. That was the last thing he needed. To give himself away on video.
James glanced at his watch again. It was almost time. A few more minutes. He thought about getting another cup of coffee, but didn't want to have to get up and pee in the middle of the interview. No, best to wait. When he heard the door open, James stood up and turned to meet the man, face to face for the first time.
