Remember How It Began is the first volume in a pair of linked stories. It details the opening missions of the most complex operation The Project had ever attempted, how they did it and the price the agents paid along the way.
The Project had been in The Trade for five years, as mercenaries and spies fighting in the sideshows and forgotten theatres of the Cold War. Things changed over those years. Opponents changed. Circumstances changed. And the lives of the intelligence agents, the “Disposable People” of The Project, had changed.
Gary Keith had become an essential part of The Project. He was one of the linchpin men around whom The Project built teams of agents and operators. When a dirty job had to get done right, he got the call. The problem was, he was so good at being bad because he’d been David Cox: shameless, ruthless and entirely willing to be deadly and manipulative to get the job done.
Excerpt:
Whoever it was arriving at the bank headquarters, they didn’t have a reserved parking place nor did they care about traffic rules.
To keep to form, Gary had to stick his head in the back of the van and move something around rather than be seen staring.
Franklin was in the best position to keep talking without being overheard. He took on the Caller role, narrating briefly about what he saw so that everyone knew what was happening. That included Ops-1, who knew that if the risk turned into the worst kind of problem they’d need to be ready.
“Two men out of the limo first. Plainclothes something. Know their protective services drill. They’ve moved to each side of the bank entrance scanning out.”, Franklin patiently stated, listening for other voices on the radio in between each line.
“Big sonofabitch in way too good a suit out to get the other car door.”
“Geeze. One more just like him. Big showy muscle. Both waiting beside the car.”
“Five now out of the limo. Last man is big enough to be more muscle but twenty years older.”
Hawkins spoke, “Good pics. Backing off.”
“Second muscleman getting two briefcases out of the limo.”, Franklin continued. “Old man walking in with his guard. He is looking at you, Hawks.”
“I’m on it.”, Scaletti barked.
A car on the boulevard slammed on the brakes, the driver yelling insults at a jaywalking Scaletti.
“I’m away.”, Hawkins announced.
It’s easier to break contact when everyone looks somewhere else.
“Walking it off.”, Scaletti said a bit breathlessly. “I’m dragging eyes down the street”.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
