The action begins to kick off now. I had to actually draw the whole plan out on grid paper, no way to keep everyone on cue in my head! Haha, hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 36

Ferg is an interesting character who sprang into my mind from a mix of Vietnam vets that I know including my uncle who was a Ranger and a LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patroller) and some that I was trained by in the Marine Corps. I guarantee they are saltiest group of combat veterans you'd ever meet.

I made him a farmer because of the old military saying "he bought the farm" which was from WW1 and was a common reply when you asked a doughboy what he was going to do when he got out. In later wars (in typical soldier/marine fashion) it came to mean "He bought the farm" referring to a 6 feet deep by 6 feet long piece of land. In this case I thought it was amusing to have Ferg literally buy a farm (probably from his CIA contract money). It's also quite true that you never know what those vets brought back or kept. Things were a lot more loosey goosey than they are now ;-)
Chapter 35

Ben and the girls get deep into planning but they don't have much time. Luckily they get help from Tom's new friends!
Chapter 34

It starts out a great day for Kelly, but doesn't end well. Had to do a lot of research to get this one right. They don't teach this at OCS. It's going to get a bit dark from here on out folks.
Chapter 33

In this chapter we learn more of Mei's story and we see Lizzy, hyped up by Athena's gift, hacking the snot out of the Chinese.
Chapter 32

Enjoy!
