As I step out from my tent I nearly fall over my feet as I bump into Johnson, now immediately my thought goes racing that he must have been the one that I heard behind my tent, but just then I see Lewis come from the other direction. Now can it be Lewis that has been behind my tent? Well, all I know is that someone was behind my tent and I am going to go all out here and say that it is one of these boys.Now, will my heart be shattered if it was one of them? I will be fucking pissed. Lewis reminds me so much of Matty and well, Johnson is a real damn good shot. I hate the thought that one of these boys that I serve with has gone as far as going to the other side. For what, I am yet to find out.So I am making my embarrassed ass over the Caylee again, this time I will refrain from going into her tent, not only will it keep the entire camp talking, but I fear what will happen in there. But as I get there, I hear her talk to whom I am assuming is the Chief. Well, I think I

Yesterday was probably one of the worst days in my life as a Marine. I had to slam cuffs on a man that was not only a friend but yet also a man that I believed betrayed not only his squad but his country.Today, before he goes, I want to know why.So I am walking with a somewhat heavy heart to where Caylee has kept him locked up for the night and much to her annoyance, yet she knows it is determination, she finds me in front of the tent again."Mmm, see you don't like to listen Lieutenant.""I call it selective hearing, I just choose not to listen to you telling me that I cannot be here.""I see you are stubborn as well.""Well, would you not want a man any other way?""I am reserving my comments on that one. Now, seriously, you cannot be here.""Give me five minutes, that is all I ask. Just five minutes."She looks at me, and yes, the woman still has those damn seductive eyelashes, but as she looks at me from underneath

When I step out of the ops tent, I knew that there was going to be trouble. What kind, I was not exactly sure of yet. The air is thick and tense. I need not have even step any further, and I hear the crashing of gunfire coming down onto the far side at the main entrance of the camp.We are under fire.So as I pass every bewildered Marine, I show for every single one of them to take a stance, and I make my way up to where Lopez and Caylee are gearing up."What the fuck is going on?""Came in five minutes ago; they came straight past our defenses and got into camp.""How many?""From what we were told, a group of about fifty-four men, can be more."I only but shake my head at the odd amount of a small number, "I am leaning to that there is more." But just as I am about to even ask what more, the very moment they come flying over."Definitely not one of ours. Lopez, get a Viper in the air to take that fucker out. Caylee, you are w

It has been just another great and rather emotionally draining battle, and the only comfort I sought was the voice of the woman that I dearly love. But then…"There is something that I need to tell you, soldier.""What is wrong, boo?"I hear her go silent for a few minutes that are too uncomfortably long, and I immediately know that something has happened."Fuck, boo. Is it the baby?""No soldier, the baby is fine. I… Well, I met someone, a guy; I met him here on base.""A guy? So you made friends with a guy on base?""Yes, I bumped into him when I went shopping. And, we have been out on lunch twice now.""Okay, and?""Well, he has sort of been over to our place once.""What the fuck is the man doing at our house, Isabella?""He is a friend, Clayton.""Well, you are heading somewhere, so just get to your point.""Soldier, I don't know what happened, but he, well, we…we kis

…Isabella POV…Clayton has just ended our relationship for what I believe will be the final time. Yes, I know that I fully deserve it.The thing is that things just happened and it was truly not intended at all. Maybe, yes, I am lonely and maybe yes, well perhaps not, for there is a rather big secret that I have been keeping from Clayton, and even if I did not end up being with James, I would still have been ripped away from him by the lies, the secrets that I hold.So yes, I fully understand that he is hurting and that he is angry with me and right now even angry at the world. And even more, do I understand that he will never take me back; I think that this time I might have just gone and push him too far. Then again, given him having to do the same, I would react in the very same way.It was not James and my intention; none of us thought that things would have developed from a friendship into something more. I guess we should have known fr
