Summary
John Watson had never expected to be dismissed from one service, let alone two in his lifetime. And yet, the truth was staring him in the face in stark black and white. And it didn’t seem that either dismissal was voluntary. Not again. This could not be happening again. It wasn’t fair, he deserved better than a simple “thank you for your service and efforts, good luck with your future endeavours” and a handshake. Which was, more or less, exactly what he was getting. The first time, it made perfect sense, he had been compromised and unfit for further active service. But he had little more to show for a decade and some of service in the Army than a couple of campaign medals, a few orders and honours likewise, and a scar on his left shoulder just a few centimetres shy of his heart. He had a fine pension, but it wasn’t good for much. His finances were bolstered by an additional income he received from the government as compensation for continuing service to Crown and Country through his work with Intelligence, thanks to the timely intervention of a mutual acquaintance who had made him an offer he couldn’t refuse when he was staring at a bleak future in a city that didn’t feel like home to him.
