commanding
officer and besides being a desk man, he tried to get out into the
field as much as possible. However, he found out soon enough he was
only in the way. Then five years ago the Secretary of the Navy
called him into his office and that is when the operation to
eliminate a terrorist camp unfolded. A five man team had been sent
into the area led by a known sympathizer. This was a special team
of Navy Seals with Brad leading the team. They were ambushed and
two out of five were killed with Brad left finding his own way out
of the mountains. He had ordered is men to evacuate and gave them
cover fire as the helicopter took off without him.
    Now he wondered what went
through his mind as they sipped some refreshing tea oblivious to
the raging storm outside. Sujin cleaned off the table and Steve
said good night and gave Sujin his best bow. Brad smiled and led
the way downstairs with Rocky bringing up the rear. They both heard
Sujin call Rocky and he slowly turned and headed back the way he
came. A few minutes later Sandy replaced Rocky as Steve laid his
head down for a long sleep while his friend took the files into the
computer room. Steve made a phone call to his wife and then turned
the light out. He laid thinking about his last meeting in DC with
his boss. He was instructed to have their team on the hunt
yesterday. The president was taking so much heat from this wild
killer and seniors across the nation were in a panic. Heart attacks
and strokes were on the increase. Doctors were plagued with over
crowed waiting rooms prescribing sleeping aids by the gross.
Southern California and in Sacramento protests by seniors over the
Senior Killer hit the media with a bang. The FBI in Los Angeles and
elsewhere were overloaded with tips on unseen or suspected people
who looked like what they thought a serial killer should look like.
Of course no one knew what he/she looked like because of his
disguises. Trying times to say the least as Steve drifted off to
sleep in a soundless environment.

Chapter 2
    Steve woke up the next
morning and looked at his watch. He’d always been an early riser,
but today it was close to seven am and he felt a little guilty
sleeping so long. He made his way to his bathroom and took a long
hot shower. Shaving gear was present along with a new toothbrush.
Exiting the shower and drying off he noticed his overnight bag
sitting on a hotel type bag stand open for his ease of dressing. It
wasn’t opened out of curiosity but hospitality from the orient. He
quickly dressed and stuffed his soiled clothes away in a bag his
wife always provided him and made his way upstairs to a new
day. The f irst
thing he noticed was the weather was still pretty much the same.
Rain beat against the windows and Sujin was in the kitchen looking
like she never left it from the night before. Rocky had replaced
Sandy and was lying next to the wood stove with an eye on Steve.
Steve shivered thinking about someone making a false move against
Sujin. He shook the thought out of his mind as the door opened and
a soaked Brad came in. He stripped down and said, “Good morning and
did you rest well?”
    “Never felt better as usual
when I have the pleasure of sleeping under your roof. Tell me what
does it feel like to run on the beach in a storm like we are having
now?”
    Brad laughed and said, “I
can only say it makes me feel alive and damn glad I am.”
    “I guess that makes two of
us,” Steve replied with a grin that few had the privileged to see
on his face. Sujin placed a mug of hot coffee on the old table next
to the window. Steve moved towards it like a bee to a flower
seeking the aroma and its delicate taste. She knew he liked his
coffee in the morning like most Americans. Brad headed downstairs
to take a shower as Rocky watched him go with one eye and the other
on Steve as he sat at the table lifting his cup of hot freshly
ground coffee. Steve didn’t wait for Brad to come while he drank
his coffee and said to Sujin, “What
