Armand told me what he was going to do the night before he did it.
He came to the operations room while Lucas and I were working through the morning patrol schedule, pulled out the chair across from me, and sat down with the particular quality of a man who had already made his decision and was extending the courtesy of an announcement rather than asking for a discussion.
"The remaining Black Wolf commanders," he said. "There are four. Two in the northern compound, one at the secondary safe house near the ridge, one mobile between territories." He put a folded paper on the table. "I have their positions, their rotations, and the windows where each one is accessible without significant collateral engagement."
I looked at the paper, then at him. "You have been doing reconnaissance."
