Alston stepped off the secure transporter pad from the Government Tower into the CIA Headquarters. While he didn’t mind walking or taking a slider back and forth, time was of the essence here. And one of the perks of being Director, access to the secure transporter network.

For now though, there were questions to ask, and hopefully get some answers out of what they were able to find out from their suspect. As he passed through the CIA control center, he stepped into his office, and tapped the secure communications terminal.
