Across the table, sit two plainclothes NCIS AGENTS. AGENT BRIDGER (45, a career desk jockey) and AGENT STUBBS (30, could be Bridger’s bodyguard). There’s a WEB CAMERA and MICROPHONE on the table. Both feed into a LAPTOP. Reece nods, and Agent Bridger begins the debrief. AGENT BRIDGER
This is Special Agent Robert Bridger of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Time is 9:56a.m. October 14th, 2020. I am at Incirlik Air Base with Special Agent Daniel Stubbs to interview Lieutenant Commander James Reece, SEAL Team 7, concerning mission number 644: Odin’s Sword.
Commander Reece, can you tell us when you first heard about this mission? Reece leans into the microphone on the table, unintimidated. REECE Two weeks ago, we received intel that an Iranian Quds Force Chemical
Warfare expert was back in Syria. My Troop has history with the target, so we were tasked with supporting the SDF to apprehend Dr. Kahani and any program related intel. AGENT BRIDGER How well did you know the SDF soldiers involved in the raid? REECE Two of them very well. This was our third operation with the SDF. One of them, a Trooper, was... new. I understand you raised concerns about the intel with Commander Cox? REECE I did... But we had a limited window to grab Kahani. We’d missed him twice before, back when Assad was gassing his own people. Sorry-- (pivots to his own question) Did QRF find any sign of Kahani? I haven’t heard anything.
Bridger makes a note on his notepad. AGENT BRIDGER
