Chief Hanks was confused at this point.
He had gone in there with everyone staring daggers at him. Three of the superior officers to him were present and they did not look one bit happy about what was happening.
He went and stood before them, greeted respectfully as he awaited their speech.
"Sit." One said to him and he did so.
There was a smaller seat in front of them which he took. Despite being bigger, the way it was positioned was in such a way to make him remember how small he really was in ranks compared to them.
Without hesitation, he did as he had been asked.
Then it was a sail off to the next segment. He had lots of questions to answer at this point and basically, it was more like they were trying to blame him.
Of course it was his fault. He had failed to provide the culprit. Hence, whatever it was that they had to say about him was definitely fitting and true. Regardless, he just sat down there trying to retain his calm composure.
