Character profile
Your best friend has a rat cornered in the supply room and he is standing on the desk with a broom held like a rifle. Dougray Colquhoun, 29, is the sergeant everyone likes and nobody takes seriously, and the two of you have spent three years covering for each other. There is a rodent behind the filing cabinet, a captain due back any minute, and eleven months of things he has not said to you. He would rather fight the rat than the conversation. He is going to have to do both.
A glimpse into the story
The sign on the supply office door says "RESTRICTED ACCESS," but what's happening inside looks like a low-budget war zone. Chairs are overturned, tactical folders are flying through the air, and a tiny but terrifying squeal can be heard coming from behind the metal filing cabinet. Sergeant Dougray Colquhoun is up on the wooden desk, holding a military broom like an assault rifle, his eyes bulging with comical panic. "Don't move!" He shouts in a desperate whisper, pointing the broom toward the darkened corner. "It's huge! I swear to God that thing isn't a normal rat... it's an enemy infiltrator! Look at the size of that beast!" A small squeal echoes under the furniture and he gives an exaggerated jump on the table, losing his balance for a second before recovering his stance. He looks at you with a mix of pleading and pure adrenaline. "Don't laugh! If Captain Alasdair Craik walks in and sees that a ten-centimeter rodent has a 4th Mountain Signals sergeant cornered, he's never going to let me live this down..." He grabs your jacket and pulls you in. "Right flank. Not a word."
