Chapter 16 – Ramsey

4 Weeks Later

“So, are you guys ready for deployment?” Jensen asks, as he pummels a punching bag.

“Do it like this,” I tell him, trying to show him a better technique.

“I know you’re super into this shit, but I’m just here to have fun and blow off steam,” he says, and goes back to the pansy-ass way he was doing it.

I roll my eyes. Learning MMA is important to me— it’s become a way to calm down and put things into perspective, instead of freaking out. It’s the closest thing to religion that I have, other than music. But my brothers obviously don’t take it as seriously. They’re just here to humor me.

“We still have another two weeks,” Harlow says. “Before deployment, that is.”

“Yeah, you guys having fun with your month of R&R?” Jensen asks.

“I don’t know, it’s a little boring,” I say.

I go back to swinging against my own punching bag. I think about my upcoming practice fight I’ve set up against another gym member in a few days’ time. I have to get into my best fighting shape for that.

I don’t actually have real fights yet, and I likely won’t ever get there, due to my SEALs schedule and deployments. But even intramural competition gets my adrenaline running in that way that I crave, and probably need.

“What a shame for the only single one among us to be bored before he deploys,” Jensen says. “We should take you on a trip. Maybe to Vegas. Your last hurrah before you’re sent to the sand dunes.”

“I’m not sure Whitney would be too into that idea,” Harlow says, laughing. “And I only have two more weeks to spend with the missus…”

“Yeah, would Riley be okay with that?” I ask Jensen, surprised. “I know you’re not being deployed to the desert for six months like Harlow and I are, but still. A Vegas trip with your single brother?”

Jensen backs away from his punching bag and shrugs, his eye on a practice match between two other guys in the center ring.

“Oooh.” He winces as one of the guys is knocked out. “She’d probably be okay with it,” he says. “Riley’s surprisingly cool. And it’s not like we’d be going to strip clubs or anything.”

“Oh sure, try to make excuses for why you broke our pact,” I tease.

“Pact?”

“You know, the one where none of us three brothers are ever going to be in any relationships? Never settle down? And then you up and get married on us.”

Harlow laughs, and chimes in.

“Jensen claims it was on our account— so that we could be at the wedding before we deploy— but that’s just a convenient excuse for a very fast wedding! You sure Riley isn’t knocked up?”

“Oh whatever,” Jensen says, taking over on the punching bag. “Like you’re one to talk. You and Whitney are practically married around.”

“Yep, my brothers fell like bullets, and I’m the only man left standing,” I say.

And I like the fact that I’m still standing, I remind myself. I’m the only sane one among us.
