The Setting

The main setting for this story took place in Benghazi, Libya, more specifically the US consulate in Benghazi and the CIA annex nearby. The US consulate in Libya was erected basically in the middle of the city, amid ruins from the war that ravaged Libya just a few years prior from the ruling of the dictator Qaddafi. The city itself is filled with numerous buildings, almost stacked on top of one another, all of which are th4e color of sand. The city itself is almost dirty, but that is more because of the fact that it is in the middle of the desert, and there is just sand everywhere. The smell of fresh Middle Eastern goods from street vendors is apparent and the sound of some turmoil still fills the streets. Despite attempts to make this a safer area for citizens and for the US to occupy, there are still rebel uprisings, especially from the Al Qaeda backed militia group.
