Secret sentinel

On the day: 
13/05/2013 

On the way:
He's not a big guy, average build, 5' 7'' maybe, but there's something special about him. 

Not that you'd spot it past the khaki jacket, the grey cargo pants, the dark blue and light luminescent-green trainers, as he strolls up the slope to the station, as he passes his left hand through his glossy upstanding crop of chocolate brown hair, as he sucks on the cigarette wedged between the forefinger and bare ring finger of his right hand. It's a brilliant disguise.
Especially the cigarette. 
Because what about the disc-shaped satchel on his back, black with a white circle? What could it be concealing? What but the star-studded shield of the sentinel of liberty? 
All sensible answers to be treated with the contempt they deserve.
