Yes, Sir. Colonel, at the time of this meeting, you gave Lt. Kendrick an order, is that right?

I told Kendrick to tell his men, that Santiago wasn't to be touched.

And did you give an order to Colonel Markinson as well?

I ordered Markinson to have Santiago transferred off the base immediately.

Why?

I felt his life might be in danger once word of the letter got out.

Grave danger?

Is there another kind?
