So, if you have heard of USA Network’s Burn Notice TV series already, you probably know that CIA agent Michael Weston basically gets fired. If you are new to the series, you should defintiely check out the site to see what all the fuss is about…

Anyway, we have been asked to create a back story, explaining why Michael was fired, so here is one possibility…

Michael was out of his comfort zone. Yet again his superiors had thrown him in at the deep end, without the knowledge he needed to accomplish his mission. Why was the Swiss banker late, and who was that woman that kept glancing around? He needed answers, and he needed them soon, else the whole deal was liable to fall apart.
If only he had kept a copy of the report that proved his last assignment was official, and not a personal vendetta. He was going to make sure his accusers regretted the day they selected him as the scapegoat… Now where was that damn banker? Wait, the woman is heading towards him, she starts running. He checks her out, to make sure she is not about to attack him, but she appears unarmed.
Thhuttck.Thhuttck. The woman fell to the ground in front of him, unfortunately parts of her head spun past him. He might feel tired and out of sorts, but this was damn serious. Just one minute later, he was still scoping the area, looking for the marksman, when a SWAT team arrived. He had no choice but to follow their orders, and soon found himself in a cell. What was going on, just who was framing him this time? Would any of his contacts be able to pull him out of this crap, and if so, what would their price be. He had a bad feeling he would find out soon. Too soon.
