Chapter 6

Rebel

The pilot made an emergency landing on an empty strip of highway on the coast of Oregon. He routed us west to try to fly around the back end of the storm, but the winds shifted, forcing us to land. I attempt to reach Thorn as soon as we’re outside the plane.

“Thorn, do you copy?” Nothing. “Beckham.” Silence.

“We need to keep moving, sir.” Remington holds his hat down to keep the rain from dripping on his face.

We head toward the downtown area of Astoria. Every building is dark, and the small-town streets are empty.

“In here.” Remington shoulders open the door to a movie theater. The pilot follows him inside, and I do the same. The power flickers on, and the entryway lights up. Movie posters and life-size cardboard characters line the walls.

“The final Avengers movie.” Remington stands beside the life-size cut out of Ironman. “I’ve been wanting to see this movie.”

“If you can run a projector, now’s your chance. It looks like we’ll be here until the storm has blown over.”

“My uncle owned a theater about the size of this place back home in Florida.” He hops over the half door to the concession stand. “I even know how to make popcorn.” He turns on the machine.

I walk around the theater, continuing to try to reach any of my team members. I only hope that Thorn found something at the port that will lead us to Fallon. I know she’s tough, but she’s injured, and she has to be frightened. Maybe she took her to wherever she’s keeping Sean. He’d die to keep her safe. I push open the doors to the seating area of the movie and sit in the back row. A few minutes later, the movie screen lights up. The pilot and Remington join me with their hands full of popcorn and drinks. They sit in the row in front of me.

“Do you want some popcorn?” Remington asks.

“No. I’m good, but I’ll take a drink.”

He hands me a soda. With Fallon gone, I can’t stomach the thought of food. I raise my leg and pull off my walking boot. My foot aches and is swollen from running on it. It hasn’t fully healed from being broken.

I close my eyes for a brief moment, picturing Fallon here with me. She loves a good action film as much as the guys do. I’d give anything for her to be here safe with me. When this is all over with, and Nina is dead, I’m marrying her and taking her away on a real honeymoon. She deserves it for all she’s been through. Honestly, I’m not sure why’s she stuck around. Her life has been nothing but chaos since we met. I’m lucky she loves me. Maybe I’ll give up being a SEAL and settle down into a normal life. It’d be nice to have a few rug rats running around. Let’s just hope they look like her and not my ugly mug. I run my hand down the deep scar on my face, and then I remember Nina’s words about Sean.
