A hotel was bombed in Phuket two days ago. According to their sources on the ground, eleven Westerners were killed and twenty-two more were injured. It was similar in many ways to the event in Manila. The group responsible this time was the Asian Liberation Army and as the Americans saw in the Philippines this group was also a formerly peaceful Islamic group, but then both were radicalized. They were given funding as well as weapons. It was becoming clear that someone wants to use these groups to remove Westerners’ interest in the region and they could only be doing this to clear the field for themselves. They planned on moving in once everyone else was gone.
Mandy had some thoughts about who could be pulling the strings. She wasn’t ready to state anything officially because she still needed to do some research and she had Bravo Team carry out reconnaissance on the latest threat, but they have a prisoner and Mandy question him about Yasin Khan. Khan was being called the next Osama Bin Laden. He was a Saudi national who received an elite education and he was also a planner. He planned everything to the last detail. Khan could be radicalizing the Southeast region to create a kingdom for himself and he was winning over people by convincing them that the Westerners were the problem. The guy they had in a cell said that Khan was bigger and better than Osama ever was. And so Mandy told him that they’d soon kill Khal as well.
Mandy was still doing background work into Yasin Khan when the rest of the team heard about Swanny. Their friend killed himself in the parking lot of the VA hospital and all he left for them was a video. The video said that he was thankful to everyone that tried to help and this included Clay, but he killed himself so that his head could finally be examined. He knew he suffered from Traumatic Brain Injury and he just wanted it to be proven. Swanny tried to get him for it and he couldn’t at the VA because the department isn’t run right. Its run by a government that can’t come up with a solution to get their soldiers out of so many wars nor can it even solve how to get more than fifty percent of teenagers a proper education.
The system is flawed and the doctor at the VA had said as much. Clay tried to confront him and the failure of treating out soldiers couldn’t all come down on one man. The doctor told Clay that if he wanted things to change that he has to do it with the army. Clay later saw his own doctor and he asked if a head injury had been in his file. He was close to that last bomb and he didn’t want to end up like Swanny, but his doctor said that a lot of times the first responders forget to put that in because they’re focusing on treating the injuries they could first. Clay was asked if he had any headaches and he didn’t. Only his doctor wasn’t sure if he believed him. He said that a lot of the career guys won’t say something even if there was something wrong.
The VA wasn’t the only problem as Clay saw for himself. Sometimes soldiers pretend their okay because they don’t want anything added to their file and the rest of his team could see this with both Ray and Jason. Jason hasn’t been right since his wife died. He continues to drop the ball with Emma’s school things and his son now wants to go to a boarding school because he says he wants to play hockey while the kid was probably scared about being home alone. The kids only have each other right now. Emma was going to be leaving soon and a part of Jason wanted to stop her just so his job could easy. And that’s now how parenting works – he was supposed to be looking after them and not putting everything before them.
This includes the missions because now his leadership was showing up cracks. Jason relied too heavily on Ray and Ray couldn’t stand the pressure. He wasn’t okay either. Ray has had issues since Mexico and he lost his faith. He shouldn’t be forced to find it again on someone else’s timeline and so eventually Ray had it out with Jason. They got into a fight and had needed to be separated. Both men were given the same talk like ask for help when you need it and Jason’s conversation went much further than that. He was told that if he didn’t rely on others that he could lose leadership and his team could be dismantled. No one wanted that and the stakes were only going to get higher with Shaw watch.
The man had just signed off the biggest mission in his and the team’s history. They were being sent to kill Yasin Khan. Khan was hiding in the region between Pakistan and India. The are was considered a hot zone because it could start a war between the two countries and mean the end of Shaw’s career. The team was allowed to go in under the strictest form of secrecy and things went wrong from the start. Bravo 1 lost sight of Bravo 2 and no one has heard from him.
Clay meanwhile was threatening the military with political embarrassment if they didn’t make sure that everyone possible head injury was checked right when it happens and so he proved he was even willing to give up his career to see that Swanny gets justice.
And Davis graduated after she finally stopped letting a childhood trauma get in the way of her dreams.
THE END!
