Still, as he had typed out the words, “I, Chief Warrant Officer John Puller Jr.,

701st Military Police Group (CID), do hereby resign…” a knot had formed in his

throat and a piercing pain had erupted in his gut.

 

He couldn’t believe he was actually doing it.

 

But he had no choice. They had left him boxed in a corner with only one

conceivable way out.

 

He had sent in the letter.

 

He was not waiting for a reply.

 

It didn’t matter what they said to him. If they wanted to try to hold him for

some reason, they would have to find him first.

 

So he was not going to Germany and his next assignment. He was going to continue

to investigate this case whether the Army chose to or not.

 

His goal was simple. His goal was always simple.

 

It was how he had approached every case he’d ever undertaken.

 

Finding the truth.
