CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

The Command Center

The Green Zone

Baghdad, Iraq

The moment between Kimball and Shari, at least to her, was soul crushing. After staring into his eyes long enough to see that there was no spark of recognition at all, not even a flickering ember of recall, her mind started to whip up questions on its own. Is this what love was? A small piece of the mind that could be wiped away by a tragic moment. Was the heart not more than a muscle, but the seat of emotions?

When Kimball released her, it was as if he was letting her go for good, a final abandoning of what they could have had.

Looking at her as if trying to remember, he asked once more, “Do I know you?”

Though it was the second time he asked her, the punch to her emotions was just as hard, if not harder. The pain, for sure, as equally damaging to her heart. In another life, she wanted to say. But she couldn’t get the words out, the syllables locked deep inside her throat, along with the souring lump that was also beginning to form.

That was when Isaiah intervened—perhaps mercifully after seeing Shari’s response, or the lack thereof—by pulling Kimball aside and telling him that he was needed for a briefing of the situation.

Having been ushered away, Shari, if she didn’t feel alone before, felt completely forsaken.

The man she had loved had died on the day she called him back from the teetering edge that divided life and death.
