1979, County Down, Northern
Ireland

Eighteen soldiers dead, at least, and with the sound of bullets still
ringing in his ears, Jack Malaney
once again found himself with an
impossible
decision to
make.
He looked
past the MI5 agent at the
bullet riddled lorry. The front
of the vehicle was smouldering and two
army technical
officers were approaching it
cautiously
so that they
could examine the unstable device inside the vehicle. Scores of people
had been saved that day
because of his bravery and intelligence, but
with so many
dead, Jack found it hard to feel that he had achieved
something worth celebrating. The question from the MI5
officer was
more like an assertion that Jack had failed, rather than a sincere request from one colleague to another.
You messed up and we are giving
you the opportunity to do better
. He had already given all he had to the
operation; he wasn’t sure that he had the strength left to give anything
more.

“We need an answer
now, Jack. I
know
it’s short
notice. I
know
you have been through hell today already, and over the last few years;
but you know that we wouldn’t ask this
of you if we had any
other
choice. It’s either you, or no one.”

Jack looked the man right in the eye. He cleared his throat.
