“You want to come in?” Ray offered as Mack retrieved his bags from the back of Ray’s SUV.

Tempting, but Kristie’s car wasn’t in the driveway. “Naw. I better get some sleep.” He’d call her. He owed her dinner, at the least, after running out for this mission. But not tonight.

He dragged himself across the street. Once inside his quiet house, he said a prayer for the young boy they’d found in the terrorist training camp the team took out. The idea of a suicide bomber using the toddler to deflect attention before they … He shuddered, and it took several deep breaths to let his anger abate.

The whole mission reminded him of how much he took for granted. He longed to hold Darcy and Amber in his arms and tell them he loved them and would protect them at all costs.

After he dumped his dirty clothes in the washing machine, he peered through the blinds. No sign of Kristie’s car yet. He called and got her voicemail. “Hey. Don’t know if you’re flying tonight. Thought I’d check in and let you know we’re back. I’m gonna hit the rack. Talk to you soon.”

He wouldn’t mind waking up with her, but he wasn’t sure she’d want to be around him right now. Missions like this didn’t make him good company. A shower would cleanse his body, but it wouldn’t wash away the melancholy—or the doubt hiding in the dark recesses of his mind. He went to the refrigerator and grabbed a beer. He twisted off the cap and downed it in a few long gulps, hoping to clear his mind so he could sleep. He tossed the bottle in the recycling bin and went to the bathroom.

In the mirror, he studied his reflection. Did he look different? Older and harder after this mission? The memory of holding the crying toddler on the flight back to base left him disengaged. He assumed the boy would be sent to a local orphanage. How much better would that be? He rubbed his forehead to relieve the pain from the dull headache, then downed a couple of aspirin before heading to bed.
