Leaving was never my proud.
R.E.M. – Leaving New York
Prologue
Big Ed Deline stood on the casino floor and looked around. It had been a slow week, and with
every passing the day the tension mounted. Like something big would happen soon, and this
was just the quiet before the storm. It was rather unsettling.
It had been several months since Danny was called back into service, and he had left a big
hole in the security team. Ed often thought off his protégé, and wondered how the kid
was doing in Iraq. Nobody had heard from Danny since he had left.
He hoped that Mary would receive news soon. Be it a letter or something else - but the silence
from the warfront was deafening in itself. With every week that passed without news, Mary
got more anxious.
The woman had finally expressed the feelings she had for the Marine, and apparently many
things had been left unsaid between the two childhood friends. But what else was new on that
front, eh? These two people were perfect for each other, but for some obscure reason they
hadn't gotten together yet. But Ed had sworn to himself: he would get them together if it killed
him.
Just as soon as Danny would be discharged, and returned to his regular life.
