After Cannon left Ricochet opened the envelope and flipped through the contents. Among the mundane paperwork was a photo of her. He picked it out and stared at it.

She was laughing, her bright smile reaching her eyes. She must have been moving when the photo was snapped because her hair was waving behind her. She was in trouble if this guy was after her. Fear for her overrode the pain in his groin. If this bastard got his hands on her… He refused to let those thoughts push any further into his mind. The niggling panic taking form in his stomach was disturbing enough. He tucked the picture in his front pocket and headed to the barracks to gather his gear.

He was packing his duffle when Boomer walked in, followed by Pearson and Nelson. He glanced up at them and continued what he was doing.

“I hear there’s trouble,” Boomer said in his deep concerned voice.

“Yep.”

“When ya leaving?”

“As soon as I’m packed. Guess you’ll have the boys to yourself a while. Don’t let ’em blow themselves up.”

“We’ll save that for when you’re back, sir,” Pearson said. “We just wanted to say goodbye and good luck, sir.”

They each went forward and shook his hand and then left.

“What’s that all about?” he asked Boomer.

“They’re just a little concerned. We preach teamwork and you’re going off alone to a mission.”

“It’s just a fact-findin’ mission. Nothin’ dangerous.”

“Is that why you’re taking your gun?” Boomer asked as Ricochet slammed a clip into it.

“Just bein’ prepared.”

“I don’t like this, buddy. None of us ever went out on our own before.”

“He’s right, Ricochet,” Kong said walking in. “We go way back and never took a mission alone.”

“Ah you guys are gonna make me blush. It’s nothing, really. I’ll get there, find out what’s going on and report back to Cannon. If there’s a problem you’ll find yourselves on a plane.”

“I have a bad feeling about this,” Boomer said sitting on his cot.

“Just watch your back, man. This is Ronnie we’re talking about. She’ll think about herself before she does you,” Kong told him.

That statement stung a bit. “I wouldn’t say that. She kept me from getting stabbed one night.”

“Was that watching your back or just wanting the first strike at him? Think about it. She doesn’t like working with anyone, she made that clear in the exercise.”

“She also apologized to Pearson and Nelson for it and promised she’d try harder. Look, I don’t wanna talk about it now.”

Kong walked over and slapped him on the back. “It’s a bitch, ain’t it?”

“What?”

“Being in love.”

“What the hell are you talkin’ about? I don’t love no one. We slept together, one night, that’s all. That don’t mean I’m in love with her.”

“You let her kick ya in the nuts.” Kong said with a twinkle in his eye. “That says love to me.”

He tossed down his duffle bag and sneered. “You really wanna piss me off before I head out?”

“Okay, okay, I’ll back off. Let us walk ya to the plane.”

When they reached the runway Cannon met them there along with Sam.
