Hunter
My phone rings,and I growl as I’m forced to take my eyes away from my girl to glance at the screen.
“What?” I snap when I answer the call, and Anson laughs on the other end.
“Yeah, I missed you, too, buttercup,” he cracks, and I roll my eyes.
“Why are you calling?” I ask, wanting to get off the phone so I can give all my attention back to my woman.
“I wanted to offer you a job.”
“Pass.”
“You haven’t even heard any details!”
“I’m not going back to the SEALs,” I tell him.
“I’m not with the teams anymore.”
“What?” I ask.
That catches me off guard. I thought for sure that Anson and Rhett were lifers. They always said that the military and the SEALs especially had changed their lives.
“Yeah, Rhett was injured on deployment a few days ago, and we both got out.”
“Shit, man. I didn’t hear about that, or I would have been there. Is he alright?”
“Yeah, he’s good. It wasn’t too severe.”
“That’s good. What are you two up to now?”
“We’re starting our own security company. I thought that you could help with some of the technical shit.”
“That’s cool. If I can do it remotely, I can help out,” I tell him.
“Awesome. How’s small-town life?”
“Perfect. I don’t know how you stand the traffic in Los Angeles.”
“It’s not so bad.”
I snort, and he laughs.
“Okay, it is that bad, but it’s home now.”
“How have you been?” I ask, and he sighs.
“Perfect. I married Lottie, and she’s pregnant.”
“It’s about fucking time,” I grumble, and he laughs.
“You’re telling me! I’ve got to get back to work but I’ll email you the details.”
“Alright.”
“Talk to you later,” he says, and he’s gone before I can reply.
