Chapter 5

Chun was awakened by a knock. He came to immediately and reached for a weapon which did not exist. “Not going to make that mistake again,” he whispered to himself. He climbed from his rack and looked about the compartment. It was empty, his men must have let him sleep. Chun opened the hatch to find Commander Langham dressed in a clean uniform and looking fully refreshed. In her hand, she held a large mug of what he assumed was coffee, by the smell that wafted off of it. She saw his longing look at the cup, and thrust it at him.

“A peace offering for waking you, Lieutenant,” she offered him a nice smile that reached her eyes.

Chun took the mug and sipped at it. The caffeine rushed through his system, chasing the last remnants of sleep from his mind. He gave Langham a smile back. “How long have I been out?”

“The ten hours you demanded yesterday,” she stepped into the compartment as Chun stepped back. He sat on his bunk and placed his mug of life saving java on the floor as he reached for his boots and pulled them on. He laced them as he listened to Langham.

“General Richards was very happy to hear from us. He has a mission for you and your team,” she handed over a folder she had been holding under her arm. “If you choose to accept it that is.”

“What is this, mission impossible? Will the folder explode once I am done reading it?” he joked, taking the folder and opening it. He placed the folder open on his lap and retrieved his coffee, sipping on it as he read.

Langham looked about the compartment for a chair to sit on and settled for leaning against a bunk. It was then she noticed that all the bunks had been made up to exact Navy standards. ‘Holy shit these guys certainly are professionals,’ she thought to herself.

Chun finished reading and closed the folder. He drained his cup and stood up. He placed the folder under his arm and cocked his head. “I tell you what, Commander. Follow me to the mess and let me get some food into my system and discuss this with my men. Is that fair?”

Before she could answer, he stepped past her and walked down the passageway and towards the mess hall. Langham jogged to catch up to the Seal. He entered the mess hall and took in a deep breath, smelling the cooked food. His mouth started to salivate and his stomach growled loudly. He hadn’t realized just how hungry he was until he smelled the food. His men sat at the rear of the room and waved him over as he walked in. They had filled a tray for him and sat around drinking coffee. Chun smiled and gave a little wave to Pauline as she sat next to Butch, pressing her body against his side. A big arm wrapped around her.

Chun marched quickly across the room and sat in front of his proffered tray of food.
