Summary
The inevitable part of every break-up is that your friends tend to pick sides. Brad hadn't even wanted all of those idiots to pick him, and that's not even the worst part.

Summary
For a second, Nate is on high alert—his senses reaching out for the incoming attack, but then he gets a good look at Brad’s face and his smile goes wickedly soft.
“So it’s like that,” Nate says.
“Yeah,” Brad says leaning in. “It’s like that.”

Summary
"I weep for my party."
Nate had to read the text again just to make sure he was seeing that right.
But no, his initial assessment was correct: Brad Colbert was texting him after thirteen years of silence. Or near enough to count, anyway. The odd update email to the whole group couldn't be considered anything other than polite distance, one Nate had also maintained. It had seemed...easier.

Summary
They declared Brad officially KIA on the third Tuesday of October.
Coalition forces looked for him after the ambush, hopeful that if anyone could survive, it was a recon Marine. That hope flickered, day by day, until three months finally snuffed it out. Eventually they called it: Brad Colbert's final mission was a total loss.
Two weeks later, a FedEx envelope showed up at Nate's office. As the sealed note inside slid into Nate's hand, his gut dropped out.
He'd recognize the hastily-scrawled "Nate Fick" anywhere; Brad wrote this.

Summary
As much as Nate wanted to convince himself that he could leave everything that had happened to him in the past five years behind, make a clean cut and get on with his life, he couldn’t quite make himself believe it. The signs of his old life bleeding into his new one were too obvious - his former team leader pretending to be asleep in the passenger seat next to him only the most glaring one.

Summary
The morning of the assassination, Patti Jankowski got up, took a long shower and towel dried her hair before braiding it into two long ropes that hung over her shoulders. She put on jeans, a t-shirt that showed Mickey Mouse saluting the American Flag, a light tan windbreaker and her comfortable blue SAS sneakers. In her shoulder bag she put a Smith and Wesson .22 caliber revolver, and an umbrella. The forecast was for a 62% chance of rain.
