Later, after the kids were asleep, Simon put in a call to Logan. “I want the house on Tradewinds.”

“Nick said you needed time to think it over.”

“I’ve thought it over and I need a house. The farm’s noisy for a kid and because it’s commercial, there are a lot of trucks going in and out of the gate. It isn’t safe for a toddler.”

“I have other houses for sale. I could email you the list. Look over the descriptions and the locations and see which one fits the bill.”

“Nah. I want this one. I’ve never bought a house before, how does this work?”

Logan went through the steps, but added, “Nick says you were preapproved and that makes the paperwork so much easier. You’ve already done the hard part, now you basically sign away your life to a thirty-year mortgage at closing. It takes a few weeks because the loan department at the bank is so backed up. Nick’s looking for help, but so far he hasn’t found anyone willing to move here.”

“Is that the hold up? No one wants to live here? Their loss. Will you let me know when it’s time to sign the offer letter? In this case, there’s no real estate agent to ask.”

“I have a standard letter I’ve used in the past. I’d say get a lawyer, but that would be my wife, so whether it comes from me or Kinsey, it’s the same letter.”

“Let’s get the ball rolling because I’m ready to move on this.”

Simon went to bed happy about his decision but beat. It had been a long day and he was ready to crawl between the sheets.

Needing shuteye, he unwillingly slid into nightmares that were forever dragging him back to where he didn’t want to go.

The wind whipped through the arid desert blowing dust so thick the eyes had a hard time getting a fix on the target.

But focus he did.

Protecting convoys came with a deadly aim and Simon had one. Sitting atop a hill, overlooking the village, Eagle Eye scanned the horizon for any movement. They knew the 1st Battalion would be rolling in with supplies at any moment. It was their job to make sure there was no ambush, no surprises from the enemy.

Eagle Eye went on alert and pointed toward two men crawling belly-first on the ground at a thousand yards.

Simon couldn’t get the image out of his head. It seemed too much for a twenty-year-old to handle, even if that young man had been a swaggering, tough guy with a big mouth. He’d been too naïve to think it wouldn’t affect him. But it had been his first kills, two Taliban shooters creeping in from an odd angle. They wouldn’t be his last. Nor would it be the last time he’d experience flesh and bone disintegrating right before his eyes. A .50 caliber tended to damage anything beyond repair, least of all a human being.

If he wasn’t reliving those images, there were the firefights, up close, personal. Sangin. Helmand. Ganjgul.
