Chief Carlson was a good soldier and a fine pilot, he'd enlisted into the Army directly after high school, and from there he went onto flight school to learn how to become an army aviator. He flew Apache attack helicopters in the gulf war and was highly decorated for courage and valor. In short, he'd come home a hero and was well liked among his peers and in his squadron. His fortunes would all change one day, ten years later in Afghanistan, when he was shot down in a firefight and he was badly wounded. His copilot, Chief Simmons, somehow only received minor wounds and was able to drag him to safety and signal the medevac helicopter to come and rescue them.
Carlson would spend the next several months in and out of the hospital and rehab, while Simmons would leave the military and get a lucrative job with a large defense contractor who designed weapon systems for futuristic wars. Carlson was determined to remain on flight status, but unable to do so due to his wounds, and finally decided the military was no longer for him. He was able to retire early with disability since he could no longer fly. After some persuasion, Simmons finally enticed Carlson to come and visit the board of directors at his new company, most of whom were made up of former high ranking military officers or senators. After meeting with the board, the men made Carlson an offer he could not refuse, and he eventually would accept it. He moved his wife and his young children, twin boys, to the beautiful rocky mountains in Colorado.
He took a position in accounting where he would work his way up to serve on the board as assistant to the CFO. In doing so he uncovered irregularities in the budget, some of which were obvious and some cleverly disguised, all of which amounting in the millions of dollars. He brought it to the attention of his CFO privately, who assured him he would look into the matter, and then assigned him to a different project to keep him occupied. Never the type to turn his back on his duty, Carlson then decided to bring this to the attention of the board, who's motto seemed to be "we've got just enough money to start a war....but never quite enough to finish it" . So he took his moment in the sun, financial whistle blower looking to grab his chip in the big game, and laid out his findings in front of the board one morning as the sun cast beams of light off of the snow capped peaks high above them. At first the men all sat in silence, a few odd glances exchanged, until finally the CEO spoke after some thought and a few sips of his tea. He invited Carlson to attend their private lodge in the mountains, which was a retreat reserved for the board and their families, and private guests. He reckoned this would be a better setting to discuss such matters.
Immediately after the board meeting, Simmons came into Carlson's office and practically drug him out of the office by the shirt collar. He threw him into a vacant supply room and looked around the corridor nervously before going inside and closing the door behind them. "Are you fucking mad? You have no idea what you're doing, or who these people are. You have to let this go...NOW!" Carlson tried to collect himself as Simmons disappeared out of the supply room. He figured his old buddy might be jealous of his good will or sense of duty, or the fact that he had found a way to save the company a lot of money. Simmons had always played second fiddle to Carlson, from the days of flight school to Carlson always getting the girl with Simmons having to play the role of wing man, to actual combat where Carlson was the daring pilot and Simmons was the guy who sat in the second seat. The pilot always got the accolades and the glory, the second man was basically his shadow...
