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 cammies. 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 indestructible, invincible,
invulnerable. 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 Curaçao whore—no strings attached. I picked her out of a lineup—wild, dark hair, long legs and a crooked 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 green eyes peered into my soul. She whispered in a distinct So Cal accent, "My name is Annie Baylis. I'm an American citizen. I was kidnapped from a cruise ship 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 that this time there was no room for excuses, no margin for errors. I had one chance to put the cape on and be her hero.
