"Yes. Cox told his unit's duty officer. She took your message off the voice mail system early this
morning. I'm stationed in Oklahoma City and they dispatched me."

"I haven't seen Davy since he, uh, left for the meeting."

Anders noted the pause. "Gentlemen," he said to the room at large. "Establish an inner
perimeter."

Millie blinked. Inner implies outer. How many men did they bring?

The other agents looked briefly surprised, then trooped out, closing the door behind them.
