Summary
It all felt like some kind of cruel joke. Miles had spent far too many years hunting Jake Sully to appreciate the sight of his recom standing before him in a military uniform. The execution order had come directly from Quaritch himself at six in the morning.
"Sir. Glad to be back in action." Sully extended a hand.
Quaritch's tail lashed sharply behind him. Rage surged beneath his skin. He stared at the offered hand as if he might rip it off. The Colonel exhaled slowly. It took considerable effort to suppress the aggression. He had a script to follow. Quaritch drawled, lifting his chin as he looked down at the recom. His tail continued twitching with irritation.
"Must be exciting to be back here again," he said.
Jake simply tilted his head. The answer came without hesitation.
"Do you want to get to know me better before our date, sir?"For a second, Quaritch just stared. Then he smiled. Son of a bitch. The sarcasm was still there. Some things never changed. Suddenly it became very clear where Spider had picked up that attitude.
