His task...to stop the thieves from stealing old money sent from the Army to Afghanistan used to train native solders and confidential informants. Retired from government service, and fully committed to his medical profession, he is reunited with Alena in New York, and his pursuit of her is thwarted by the tall walls she has around her heart.
