I had to do an edit on chapter 8. As one of my readers noted, "You wrote 'He removed the bullets from the gun' No ex-military person would use 'bullets'; they are cartridges and there is a significant difference. Same for when he threw them out of the car window." Quite correct. Fixed. As my readers have learned over the years, accuracy is important.

I am turning on voting now. Hopefully, people enjoy this and show it.

This is also the end of Book One, but don't worry. There won't be a break in the schedule for uploading. The next upload will occur on Friday.

Enjoy!

The Contractor finally gets to work. Enjoy!

Lots of people seem to be enjoying the story. I plan to turn on voting in a couple more chapters. I hope the votes are good. Vanity, thy name is not woman, it is author.

In any case, Chapter 7 is where things start getting bloody. I'm sure it's a dreadful next comment, but…Enjoy!

You learn something every day! One of my readers, sacwriter_1, was a post-Vietnam-Era MP and the MOS for MPs back then was 95B. Nowadays it is 31B. When did it change? It turns out to be in the same time frame as the 'Twenty Years Ago' that Marty and Jake enlisted. That would be 2000, and the change occurred in in 2003, before Marty would have left the Army. I had to do a quick edit and reloaded the chapter. Fascinating!

Anyway, Chapter 6 is up now, or will be shortly. Enjoy!

A few readers pointed out that the language school is not in Monterrey, which is a city in Mexico, but in Monterey, which is in California. Ooops. Fixed. Anyway, enjoy!
