To the Middle East it is (part 1)

I opened the envelope and the words hit me like a punch. Pakistan, border region. Report on local reactions to drone attacks conducted by NATO forces, moderate cover story." I looked up at the editor. "Really?" I said. he nodded.

"You know Russian, and lots of Afghanis do as well. You are best we got." he said, shrugging. I glared at him for a long time. I kept glaring until he turned away. Pakistan. I made an immediate inventory of my belongings and none of them, at all, helped with my cover. I was to pretend to be an assistant with "Doctors without Borders". Great.

I said. He was silent for the rest of the ride until we pulled up to the hotel.
