After an energetic morning run and a shower, Ashley headed over to the Perk. Her mother's genes apparently kicked in because she decided to order a large cup of tea instead of coffee. She also decided to indulge with a couple of cookies.

Price came in, dressed in long pants and shirt, all drab colors per usual. He had a manilla folder tucked under one arm, which he set down on the table. He held up a finger and said "One moment," before he went to the counter and got himself a coffee.

He came back and sat, and couldn't manage a smile.

Price flipped open the folder, conducting himself like a commanding officer in a debriefing. There was a photo of a craggy faced bearded man with olive skin. "Imran Zakhaev was the target of the first assassination order the British government gave after the conclusion of World War 2. The order was given in 1996, and the two men dispatched by the SAS were a Captain MacMillan, and a Leftenant John Price."

He took a sip of his coffee. "And it's this same order that I'm going to have our students carry out, at least a simulation."
