<strong>Agent Mackenzie - CIA - Abandoned observation post</strong><br/><br/>Samuel “Mac” Mackenzie squatted down on his haunches and took a deep drag on the large cigar that hung from the left side of his mouth. His brow was furrowed and his eyes tightly focused as he gazed around at the carnage that surrounded him. While he maintained his carefully formed stone mask expression, he felt a slight pang of queasiness in his stomach.<br/><br/><em>Been awhile since I’ve felt that,</em>He thought silently to himself as he reached down with his middle and index fingers and dipped his fingertips into a nearby pool of blood. It wasn’t the death itself that bothered him. In a twenty-five year career, there wasn’t much he hadn’t seen.  It was the obviously deliberation with which this scene was created that caught him.<br/><br/>“This was done for a reason,” He declared suddenly, not bothering to look to see who else was around. With the exception of the array of corpses that littered the bunker, the area seemed clear of hostiles.<br/><br/>For the moment.<br/><br/>Standing up, Mac strolled over to a wooden table. Upon it was a radio and next to it a codebook and a small pile of reports. Picking up the book, he flipped through it for a moment before tossing it back on the table. His Vietnamese was nowhere near as good as his Lao, but as he glanced over some of the reports he saw nothing that explained what had happened here.<br/><br/>“Troop movements,” He murmured as he glanced from report to report. “Supply requisitions, more troop movements... There’s nothing here that explains any of this. Still, they never would have left any of it here given the choice. Somebody wanted these boys out of here in the worst way.” As he spoke, he felt a shiver run down his spine.<br/><br/><em>But who?</em><br/><br/>Without even realizing it, he found himself tightening his grip on the MAC-10 he carried in his right hand. Whoever hit these guys weren’t American, that much was for sure, and he wasn’t aware of anyone else running ops in this particular area of the woods.<br/>
