Chapter Ten

Colt

It did not take long after the call to my superior for my time off to be approved and I was scheduling a flight to Virginia. So far I like the area. There is less hustle than in the larger cities, which suits me. My plane landed last night, and even with my usual lack of sleep, I was happy to be gone. I got out as soon as I could.

Despite my dad or Zane’s warnings, I did go look at where the old maple tree had stood. The space around it looked like devastation, not even the old bench sat there, as if anyone who tried to enjoy it would be cast in the unlucky-in-love shadows. Lyric’s pain was evident in the stump that was left. My mind conjured up images of her face twisted in pain, dark hair flying around her while she hacked into the bark that told our story. The one symbol that played a part in our best moments. So yes, I ran again, from my hometown. All I wanted to focus on was the possible mission my superiors deemed appropriate enough for me to use my leave time for.

So far Cole Security Forces is pulling out all the stops. A car picked me up at the airport and would take my bags to the hotel I am staying at for the night. If I decide to continue to the next phase, I have the option to stay longer in a rented house. All expenses are being paid for, which only fuels my hunger to know more about the mission. I’m practically vibrating with tension by the time the car rolls up to a building.

“You decided to make the call?” Zane laughs nearby. My head snaps over to him. Some of the energy leaves my body. After our call the other night, I’ve been fielding my calls, avoiding him so we didn’t have to talk about the fact that I bailed out of town. Since then I’ve been trying to mentally prepare my headspace for all the information I’m about to get.

“Couldn’t let the opportunity pass.” I shrug, but Zane watches me carefully. If he’s aware of how messed-up I feel after being home, he doesn’t comment.

“Let’s get this over with so we know what we’re dealing with.” I gesture to the door. He nods his head and holds his hand out for me to lead the way.

I walk right up to a beautiful girl with blonde hair, who also appears to be a receptionist. “I’m Colt Street. I’m here to meet with Mark Dixon.”

“I’m Zane, also here to meet with Mark Dixon,” my friend throws over my shoulder.

“Yes, I know who you both are,” the woman answers, smiling. “Welcome to Cole Security Forces. I’ll let Mark know you’re here. Would you like coffee or water while you wait?”

“No, thank you,” I turn down the offer, my stomach rolling just thinking about putting anything in it until after this meeting.

It’s been years since I’ve felt this nervous.
