Erwin 's chest rumbled with a hum of consideration.

'Pehr 's been training Johanna. ' Mike stretched his long legs across the couch opposite them. He lifted a piece of notepaper, studying it 'or at least, he seemed to be. His fringe was so long that it was difficult to tell where he was looking. 'She 's ready for straight-forward missions like this one. Transition her to logistics and promote Pehr to Squad Leader. '
