The Return

[Victor Steiner]

Victor took that to mean 'sod off' in the politest possible terms. Needing no further invitation he stood and bowed Your Highness he said, before turning to O'Brian and touching his officers cap Ma'am before turning on his heel and walking out the door.

He didn't think this was a good idea. In fact he thought it was a very bad idea, terrible even. He might have a job, sure, but was it one he wanted? He could have gone back to civilian life easily. No one would have noticed, no one would have cared. Which was fine, so why was he dragged back into the hellishness of politics and the military?

Fuck it was all he said as he walked passed the P.A, who gave him an odd look. Now word would inevitably reach Elizabeth...unless he sent her a message first. Why he would do that he didn't know. Nothing is worse than being a pariah who's decided to return to the fold.
