"I've lost someone to Firebrand before," he said. "Well, the guy wasn't in Firebrand at the time. Linklater, the ex-Navy SEAL who recognised me...there was a mission we were on. A hostage rescue deep behind enemy lines. The crook took a hostage, said if we didn't let him go he'd shoot the girl, who was...well, she was my fiancee. Linklater thought he had a clear shot, I knew he didn't and I even showed him he didn't and he fired anyway. I only discovered later he took the shot on purpose, out of jealousy of what I had with her. She was killed instantly, our target escaped into the night."
