This would be the friend who works for an agency planning to either abduct or assassinate him when he returns to his homeland and the passenger plane taking him to a possible-death ambush?

> I think the point Jason is making, though, is that the agents and air marshalls and whatnot that he deals with in this chapter aren't the ones who asked for any of this either. They're just people doing their jobs.

They're jobs they chose to do, though. And it's not like the OPS agents weren't trying a little bit of psychology of their own.

For that matter Mumphrey and Bradbury are playing Black right now, but nobody's complaining about them being jerks.

Of course, Dancer's a special case, but still.

That she is. Now I want to see a meeting between the two of them; except that they would undoubtedly end up in bed.
