Chapter Twenty-Seven


When Thunder pulled up in front of the house, Roland said, “You men go inside and get all your gear packed, Joseph and I have some unfinished business.”

As the men got out of the car, Roland turned to Joseph and said, “Let’s go out back, we’ve got to talk.” As they walked into the back yard, Roland closed the gate and then he said, “Alright out with it, something’s bothering you.”

Joseph walked over and stood beside the tree, and he said, “How in the hell do you and the men get use to killing people, I mean doesn’t it bother you?”

Roland walked over to Joseph and he said, “Listen to me, what happened today wasn’t a picnic for me or my men, today we had to watch one man get killed and then we had to kill another. To answer your question, yes it bothers us, but we can’t afford to let it get to us, if we did then every time we went on assignment one or all of us would probably be killed.

You see, what Thunder, Bubba, Brownie and I do, its nothing to write home about, we’re hired by some country or business and for a lot of money to do what we‘re asked to do and we don‘t ask any questions.

The first time I ever killed a man was when he tried to kill Bubba and I couldn’t let him do it, so I took him out myself, it’s not a glamorous job, and sometimes it gets dicey, but it’s what we are good at.

Sure it’ll take each of us longer then the other to get over what happened today, but when we all walked away and no one was hurt, this was a great day for all of us.”

Joey had tears in his eyes as he listened to Roland, he couldn’t do what they did, but he was damn glad that they were with him, he couldn’t of done any of it if it weren’t for these men. “I’m glad to have met Thunder, Bubba and even Brownie, and I’m damn glad to know you, you are more like a father to me then my own dad.”

Roland held Joseph in his arms and he said, “If you need anyone to talk to when we get home, just ask. Now lets go get our stuff and get to the airport and go home.”

As they walked into the house, the men had all their things and were waiting for them, Joseph then said, “I want to thank all of you for helping me get Shadow here. She deserved making Gunner pay for what he did to her brother, and I’m glad to have know each of you, you’re all a great bunch of men.”

Bubba said, “When Ro contacted me, well I didn’t think that you were worth our time, but now that we’ve gotten to know you, I’m glad that we decided to help, you’re one hell of a man Joseph.”

Thunder then said, “Alright can we leave now, I want to get back, I’ve got a young thing waiting for me.” Bubba laughed and said, “Is she real or do you have to inflate her.”

That caused Roland, Joseph, and Brownie to burst out laughing and Thunder said, “Bubba you no good piece of shit, I’m going to slit your damn throat when you sleep.”

Roland then said, “Alright, lets get going, our flight leaves in thirty minutes and I intend on being on that flight.” So they all got their things, went out to the car, loaded everything in the trunk and Thunder drove to the airport.

As Thunder pulled into the parking garage at the airport, they got their things out of the trunk, walked into the terminal, and walked over to the ticket agent.

Roland handed the man their tickets and as they put their bags and things through the scanner and walked though the security clearance. After they got there, Joey took out his cell and called Seto. When Seto answered his cell, he heard Joey’s voice say, “We’re coming home, its over.”

Seto nearly jumped off the couch and danced around the room he was that excited, “When is your flight going to get here?” Seto asked.

Joey said, “Roland said that we should get in around dinner time tomorrow, I’ll call and let you know, and Seto, when I get back we need to talk.”

Seto wiped tears from his face as he listened to what Joey was saying, then he said, “Call me and we’ll be there to bring all of you home, and Joey, I agree we do need to talk.”

Then Seto closed his cell phone and just sat there on the couch, he prayed that whatever Joey wanted to talk about was their feelings for each other, if he wanted to leave, and then Seto didn’t know what he was going to do. Joey also hoped that when they got home, Seto would want to talk about their feelings for each other.

When boarded their flight, they all had things on their minds that they were going to do when they got home. As they closed their eyes and got some well-earned rest, Roland knew that this would probably be the last time they were ever together.

Hell he was just to damn old to be doing this, he just wanted to go home and relax being with his sister, the boys and of course Joseph. Roland called his sister, when Helga heard his voice she knew that everyone was all right, tears filled her eyes and she said, “How was it?”

Roland swallowed the bile that was about to erupt and he said, “It went better then I expected, listen talk to Seto and let him know that when we get home Joseph will need some time to get over what happened, he did what he set out to.”

Helga closed her eyes and then she said, “I will and Ro, remember that I love you and so do the boys.” Roland wiped away a lone tear that ran down his face and he said, “I’ll see you later sis.”

When Helga hung up the phone, she went to find both Seto and Mokie, she needed to talk to both of them, as she walked into the living room, she found them talking and she said, “Boys, we need to talk.”

When she was done, Mokie and Seto were both so emotional and she sat between them and held them as they cried, cried not only for their dad, Shadow, Thunder, Bubba and Brownie, but especially for Joseph. After the call, Roland then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Bubba was glad to be going home, home to his wife and kids, this was his last mission, and like Ro, he was just to damn old to go flying all over the globe.

Thunder, well he wanted to get back to his woman, hell if it took him forever he’d prove to them that she was real and not some blow up doll.

Then there was Brownie, he really needed to get back to Domino and talk to Helga, he really did like her, hell he was in love with her, and it scared the pants off him, but even if it took him the rest of his life, he was going to show her exactly that he loved her and only her.

The flight attendant then announced, “May I have your attention, the pilot needs everyone to put your chairs in their upright position, he will be landing this plane in a couple of minutes, thank you and have a great day.”

Roland called Helga and told her, we’re going to be landing soon, please come and pick us up, we want to come home, God, it’s good to be coming home.”

Jeffery drove them to the airport and he parked the limo in the Executive Parking spot and as they got out and walked into the airport, they all got out, they waited for the plane to land then they walked into the terminal, they watched the entrance.

Then they saw Roland, Joey and the men come walking towards them, Helga, Seto and Mokie all had tears in their eyes as they saw how much pain and anguish were on all their faces, and as they near, Helga said, “Come on boys, lets go home.” Seto put his arm around Joey and Mokie held onto Roland’s hand as they walked to the limo for the ride home. It’s now a time to heal
