Red Sea Coast, Saudi Arabia

“I spy with my little eye, something that is blue.”

Atlas looked at Jimmy, who motioned with his chin to look ahead. Atlas took a glance, not seeing what Jimmy was talking about at first as their truck climbed a slight upward grade before cresting. Atlas smiled.

“Blue indeed,” his deep voice rumbled. Before them lay the Red Sea in all its glory. They had crossed into Saudi territory hours ago having set out at first light, Red wanting to try and reach the coast as quickly as possible in case Dawson succeeded in arranging transport. The night had been uneventful but restful, his years of serving in hellholes meaning he could sleep just about anywhere, and the desert was quiet at night.

And chilly.

But that always made him sleep better he found, he himself a human furnace. It was one thing he had never found a way to handle until he watched a rerun of Friends. Many of the women he went out with loved to cuddle at night, and he found he’d be dripping in sweat as they slept peacefully, but Ross’ hug ’n roll technique worked like a charm.

Fortunately Vanessa wasn’t a cuddler, at least not in her sleep. She preferred to be on her side of the bed unless a little somethin’ somethin’ was going on, which was yet another reason he really liked this girl.

This woman.

It wasn’t until they had really started to settle into their relationship, after the initial infatuations matured, that he realized he had always been dating girls. Vanessa was a woman. She knew what she wanted from life and from him, and he thought that was fantastic. She was the first girl he could see himself settling down with, but before they could he’d have to get permission from the Colonel to read her in on what he did.

But they weren’t there yet.

He just prayed she would understand why he had needed to lie to her all these months.

Some didn’t, some taking it as a betrayal. He hadn’t faced that yet, but he knew several guys in Special Ops, too many, that thought they were heading down the aisle to the altar when the revelation that they had been lying to their future spouse since they met them caused things to fall apart. Sometimes it was the lie that sent them running, sometimes the fear.

It isn’t easy to marry a man whose country demanded he be at its beck and call twenty-four-seven, to be sent at a moment’s notice to the most violent shitholes in the world, all for a salary that would make the average civvie indignant if offered to them.

We’re not in it for the money.

Red’s vehicle came to a halt in a dip, the vehicles shielded from view, the Master Sergeant stepping out and climbing the rise at a crawl, scanning the area with his binoculars. They were less than a mile from the coast, Highway 5, which ran the entire coast, now behind them and quiet at the time of their crossing.
