Synopsis:
I’ll be honest with you—I’m no hero. Sure, the media tries
to brand every Navy SEAL as some kind of Batman dressed in cam-mies. There’s
even a line in one of our cadences: Superman is the man of steel, he ain’t no
match for Navy SEAL. You’ve seen the movies—we’re infallible, invaluable,
invincible. But that night, the one you read about in the papers … all I really
wanted to do was get laid.
One harmless fuck with a Aruban whore, no strings attached.
I picked her out of a lineup—wild, dark hair, long legs and a crook-ed smile.
After she sucked me off, I relaxed back onto the creaky, cum-stained cot,
thankful for the blissful moments she gave me when I actually forgot for a
second the faces of my buddies who died because I made the wrong call, the
tears of the children I couldn’t save, and the eyes of the enemies I
slaughtered during their last seconds of life.
But before I left, her hazel eyes peered into my soul. She
whis-pered in a distinct Californian accent, “My name is Annie Hamilton. I’m an
American citizen. I was kidnapped on spring break five years ago. You’re my
last hope. Please save me.”
One desperate plea. This wasn’t a Hollywood blockbuster or a
New York Times best-selling thriller. I knew this time there was no room for
excuses, no margin for errors. I had one chance to put on the cape and be her
hero.
