The Impulse

Two men in business suits are sitting at a cafe.

"hows do you order your coffee?"
"cut the crap, why am i here?"
"I want to know about an operation code named Java Jay."
"That's above your clearance Smith"
"Not anymore I'm in charge of all the operations in and out of this office."
"Java Jay is old news we didn't even do it.  We hired out contract military."
"What happened"
"Those x-military #@$#@ disobeyed orders and engaged.  Thought they were being hero's and ended up killing half of the plants engineers.  Korea's mad and wants us to turn them over for war crimes or they will fire on US citizens."
"And have we handed them over?"
"Can't they are contract.  They are protected by diplomatic amenity."
"They disobeyed orders."
"Doesn't matter they are not our men."
"And what about Korea?"
"That's what you don't want to know about."
"I do"
"its called operation Hamilton, its going to be a messy one.  For your own good better to keep your hands clean."
"I am not going to have an operation going on that I don't know about, I'm not sitting on the side lines of this one."
"Don't be on the side lines, don't watch the game, don't even watch the update on ESPN."
"I'm not that kind of director."
"The days are gone where its good guys against bad guys.  Now its a bunch of politicians making deals with each other to clean up the mess.  No one wants to know about operation Hamilton."

  1. BRILLIANT! "Don't even watch the update on ESPN."

    Good job using the lingo throughout.
    The characters didn't break.
