“Chief, you wanted to see me?”
“Eileen, I have an assignment for you. It could be dangerous; it could also earn you a Pulitzer.”
“When do I leave and where do I go?”
“You’ll be embedded in Syria for six months. You leave tonight.”
“What can I say? Of course I’ll go.”
She leaves, high on excitement. Shortly thereafter her husband Mel comes into the Chief’s office.
“You’re sending Eileen into Syria, Ralph? Is she coming back?”
“Her cover will be blown shortly after her arrival, and, unfortunately, she’ll be killed.”
“I love you Ralph.”
“I love you too, Mel.”
