"I think of him as an equal. Honestly, he should be promoted, and I'm not just saying that because we're close. I could see it almost as soon as I met him. Andrei's a natural leader. The men look to him. He's the squad's second in command in all but name."

"The current second...Imanov. He's self-absorbed and probably unstable. I don't think he'll be in Spetsnaz long, if he keeps going in the same direction."
Kassian frowned under the facemask.
"Though I suppose they can't promote Andrei while he's the prime suspect in the murders. Maybe after he's cleared."

"Well, the light's on inside. We might as well see."
