It was as if he was playing his own mental game of Russian roulette. He heard the all-important "click" and knew that the bullet was in another chamber... this time. |

If he tries to weasle anything more out of my family, I want the military to protect them, even if it means ruining my reputation and exposing my gambling habits. Security for my wife and kids - that's all I ask for. It's the least the U.S. government can do for me, after all I've sacrificed at Project Abraham.
