NATHANIEL
Kabul, Afghanistan
August 2021
This was not the Maldives.
I closed my eyes and tipped my head back toward the blistering
afternoon sun. With the breeze, I could almost pretend the moisture racing
down my neck, soaking into my collar, was water from a recent swim instead
of my own sweat. Almost.
Instead, I stood on the tarmac in Kabul, wondering how the hell my
boots weren’t melting into the concrete at this temperature. Maybe missing
my trip was karma paying me back for going without her.
“You’re supposed to be on leave,” a familiar voice said from my right.
“Shhh. I am. See?” I opened one eye just enough to glimpse Torres
standing beside me, his thick brow shaded by his multicam cap.
“See what? You standing on the flight line with your head thrown back
like you’re in a Coppertone commercial?”
The corners of my mouth quirked upward. “It’s not the flight line. It’s a
little bungalow over the water in the Maldives. Can’t you hear the waves?”
The rhythmic beat of distant rotors filled the air.
“I hear you losing your mind,” he muttered. “Looks like they’re here.”
Reluctantly, I opened my eyes and searched the horizon for an aircraft
on final approach, spotting the plane within seconds.
Here we go again. As much as I used to love the action that came with
my job, I had to admit that it was getting old. Peace sounded so much better
than constant war.
“How the hell did you let yourself get roped into this, anyway? I
thought Jenkins was on this assignment,” Torres asked.
“Jenkins went down with some kind of virus last night, and I didn’t
want to ask Ward to skip his leave. He has kids.” I shifted the shoulder strap
of my rifle as the C-130 touched down on the runway. “Now I’m on
babysitting duty for Senator Lauren’s aide.”
“Well, I’m with you, like always.”
“I appreciate that.”
My best friend hadn’t left my side since Special Forces selection. Hell,
even before that.
“Hopefully by next week, Jenkins will be on the mend and I’ll be on my
way to the Maldives before the actual senators get here.” I could almost taste
those fruity umbrella drinks right now—oh wait, that was the metallic tang of
jet fuel. Right.
“You know, most guys I know use their leave time to go home and see
their families.” Torres looked back at the rest of the team as they strode our
way, straightening their patchless ACUs, like it was possible to unfuck their
uniforms after four months in country.
