Aaaand, finally.
I want to thank everyone for their patience, and beg that you pay careful attention to the Author's Notes, especially with regard to Chapter 3.

Summary:
It's driving Arthur mad, not knowing where Merlin is and if he's even alive. Without his usual resources, Arthur has no other choice but to reach out to people he doesn't even know -- never mind trust -- to help him unknot the snarl of conspiracies and to find Merlin.
Author's Notes:
I don't own the characters to Merlin(TV) and am not profiting from this work.
This is part twelve in the Loaded March series, and it has been broken up into two chapters because of the length; chapter three is an EXTRA. If you want to avoid the usual cliffhangers, you'll skip chapter three.
My thanks go to Detochkina (AO3)/
lullbeblessed (LJ) for thorough beta and such a quick turn-around time and to
dysappointed (LJ) for location details. Any mistakes that remain are entirely my own.
Fair warning: this is a military fic, and there will be military violence. In this part? A lot of violence. There may be triggers in this part associated to this warning.
