He and his team-mate Geir are trying to learn more about Mouse's history. Was the whole squad targeted with that landmine, or just their youngest, newest member? The truth is more disturbing and senseless than they'd anticipated. Who was Mouse really? Minx may be the only person who knew the boy that later became a dangerous, hunted man...
