“Captain, you ready?” Ty questions as he jogs up to Jayce
and Stan.
Jayce assures him that he is with a smile and puts his arm
around Ty’s shoulder. Trekking across the tarmac, Ben turns and smirks as he
watches the flight crew back the Stryker into the plane, Ben’s favorite. As they
approach the rear of the plane, the flight crew chains the Stryker down to the floor
of the aircraft. Making his way up the cargo ramp, Ben opens the rear hatch on
the vehicle and takes a deep breath through his nose.
“Yep, going to be a great mission!”
The other members of the unit begin to choose their seats on
the enormous plane for the eighteen-hour flight, not to mention the stop in Germany
to refuel. Ty nestles himself into his seat, slightly head banging with his
eyes closed to the music coming from the ear buds in his ears. A tug pulls up to
the bottom of the cargo ramp with a cart loaded with ammunition and supplies. Ben,
Paul, and Adam begin loading the contents into the Stryker.
“Son, are you going to miss this?” Stan questions
at the bottom of the ramp.
