David was ready to explode--Van Der Loo was cutting them off at the knees.
He stood and paced a little bit then he got down to basics. He knelt down in
front of Stark, "Colonel-in no way do I or anyone blame you for anything
that happened to me. Furthemore as JAG Chief I will use my contacts and all
my influence to protect you, but we need you. We need this information...if
we don't find a way to expose this, people will die to save the secret. I
cannot let this happen..." he pointed to his companions, "We cannot let this
happen."
The Colonel let out a deep breath and stood up. He walked around the room. It did not take an empath's touch to sense that he was stressed out by the situation. He paced the room while the others watched.

Stark found his way back to his chair and plopped back down before looking toward David. "You are right. As much as I am concerned about things, someone has to do something. How can I help."
