“The question I have for you is, are you going or not?” Will asks.

I feel lucky he’s here considering his newborn back home, but he insisted that since I went in with him to free Nyssa’s best friend, he feels he owes it to me to do the same with someone who may be my sister.

I haven’t been able to go back to Rosarita to visit Allee, however, and that’s what’s been bothering me. I was set to go back and visit her Friday, but as I was grabbing my things to head down, I got a text from one of my team members in regards to the photos we’d recovered.

He let me know that they’d come up with a location for the woman I thought may be my sister. It was unexpected and fast – and the best news I’d heard in a long time. So, I’d made the difficult decision so many people in the service have to make – I have to put my personal feelings aside for a moment and focus on the latest development with the mission.

I called Will to get his opinion on the matter, and he not only agreed I was doing the right thing by exploring this development but also insisted he come to Mexico for the pre-op briefing. I’m not sure if he’s thinking of going in with me, and I almost don’t even want to put him in that position. But I also want to have the most solid team possible.

“I’m going in,” I tell him with a resolute nod. “But are you?”

He’s looking at the map in front of us, but the look on his face tells me he’s thinking of home – his new wife and baby waiting for him there – and my mind drifts back to Allee.

A pang of guilt runs through me when I think about staying here for another week to complete this mission, and I find little comfort in Will’s nod.

“Yeah man, SEALs for life, right?” he says. “We don’t turn a blind eye to someone in need.”

I give him a smile, feeling the comradery of the moment. Then, I turn my attention back to the map.

“From what we’re being told, the woman in question is working for an incredibly wealthy family. Domestic servitude. From the looks of things, she's apparently a housekeeper, nanny, cook, or all of the above. I’m relieved on that front considering the much worse alternative she could have been forced into, though I’m still dead set on getting her out of there as quickly as possible.

“How many do we have in the house?” Will asks.

“Honestly, that’s where it gets a bit uncertain,” I reply with a sigh. “We only have confirmation of this young woman, and you and I both know that doesn’t mean shit. There could be a lot more.”

“An incredibly wealthy family that only has one slave seems a bit strange, I’ll admit,” Will agrees with a solemn nod. “But I guess we’re going to have to work with what we’ve got.
