Time Quote by Stephen England
““The CIA officer came over to the parapet to stand beside him, his eyes hidden by the polarized Wayfarers. “I. . .spent some time in Afghanistan, few years back. Rotated out to Kabul Station. Lost more than a few good men to sniper fire. You get a feel for where they’re hiding.””
