Back in the briefing room, Maya opened the white envelope.
Her eyes moved slowly across the page.
Then she stopped.
Colonel Hayes watched her.
Maya looked up.
“Sir… is this official?”
He nodded.

Her qualifications were restored.
Her record was corrected.

Several soldiers behind her lowered their eyes.
They had spent months believing rumors.
Now the official document said exactly what Maya had said from the beginning.
She was innocent.
