Though light rays shone into the small building, an ominous feeling crept through the atmosphere into the office. Sitting at a desk sat a man no more than five feet. His stern blue eyes locked on to the saluting soldier's green ones. "Lieutenant Raven, have you found Arkady Volkov?"
"Yes sir," Raven said quickly, lowering his hand to his side. "You were right; there was one more wolf-agent."
