    “Fuck me…0430!” I said in a crackled voice as I set the remote down on the coffee table and pushed myself off of the couch. I poured the rest of the beer into a clay pot that held some sort of plant which I also found in the apartment when I moved in; probably a remnant from the past tenant who had also left the stain.
    “All right, buddy, you enjoy that ’til I get back,” I said to the plant as I threw the bottle into the trash and proceeded to undress as I headed for the bathroom.
    I flipped on the shower and jumped right in, letting the cold water invigorate me and get my adrenaline pumping. With the water starting to finally warm up, I stood with my arms crossed and head tilted back toward the shower head, letting the water massage my head and shoulders. It cascaded off my hair and over my face as I held my breath and contemplated the mission. Looking down at my Suunto wristwatch, a gift from the manufacturer, yet another perk of being a SEAL, I caught a glimpse of the time.
    “Fuck, I’m gonna be late,” I said as I shut the water off, jumped out of the shower, and quickly got dressed.
    On my way out of the apartment I passed a frame that held a picture of me and my ex-girlfriend, Heather. We were at a bar for her twenty-fifth birthday party, and one of the guys had taken a picture of her licking the side of my face.
    She was a particularly beautiful woman, with long brown hair, a slender figure, and a smile that could move ships, but she was as loose and easy as they came.
    I had come home early one day and found her in bed with Oliver. Although I had since forgiven Oliver for the affair, he still held a slight grudge after I beat the shit out of him and sent him to the hospital with a broken nose. Surprisingly enough, the affair and the subsequent beating did not affect our working relationship, a testimony to the brotherhood we shared as SEALs.
    Heather, however, was not so lucky. I threw her out on her ass that very day with a pair of jeans, a sweater, and a twenty dollar bill to get her wherever she had to go. I threw the rest of her clothes in the dumpster behind my apartment building, throwing in some lighter fluid and a lit match as I walked away. She begged for a second chance, and maybe in another life I would have broken down, but I was getting too old to deal with all of the bullshit these whores brought with them. Although I would never admit it out loud, deep down inside I longed for a woman who would fill the void. I sighed and picked up the wooden frame, pausing to look at it for a moment. Shaking my head, I made my way to the door and dropped it in the trash without a second look.
    I hopped in my car and headed back over the curved bridge to North Island. Entering the main gate to base, I headed straight for the airfield to catch the flight awaiting my team.
    The guys were already waiting inside of the C-130 Hercules when the commander hollered from the ramp of the cargo hold, “Cuttin’ it pretty damn close, aren’t we, Black?”
    “Sorry, sir. Too much partying last night,” I said as I took my seat and got my gear situated.
    The commander looked at me and shook his head as he walked by to deliver his usual speech. “All right, ladies, this is gonna be a long ass flight. Get comfortable. I hope you took a shit at home, and we’ll be serving your inflight peanuts when pigs fuckin’ fly.” Oliver and Erik began to snicker at his joke when the commander turned, shooting them a death stare.
    I looked back at the guys, smiled, and shook my head. “You assholes can’t go a day without getting in trouble, huh?”
    “Why, I dunno…ask your mom,” Erik replied, laughing.
    “Take your tired ass jokes for a long walk off of a short muthafuckin’ pier,” I said, chuckling.
    “Ladies, ladies!” the commander barked as the plane’s engines began to rev. “All ya’ muthafuckers, shut the fuck up!”
    Erik, Oliver, and I shut our mouths and shifted our gaze quickly away from
