The Safe Job
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Finally, I got out of the army! Contract finished! No more going on missions for indefinite time, or leaving my Grandma M, Daddy or my little girl Diana. I am Major Stephanie Plum of US Special Forces and Special ops with a honourable discharge. My birthday is on October 12 and I am 28 years old. As for my education I managed to get a MBA between basic training and missions/tours, I have never actually got a chance to use it but now as I will be looking for jobs it's something to consider. With an army life I have never gotten enough time to spend with my family but now it's also something to look forward too. The three most important people in my life, who also are my family consists of my father Frank Plum, he is a general in the army who is my greatest idol and one of the 2 people who wholeheartedly supported me throughout my military career. My second supporter is not my mother but my Grandma Mazur who is a live firecracker and a crazy old bat as my father refers her too, she is always looking for adventures due to her spontaneous, curious and open mind. She loves crazy and is like my mother I never had.
The latest addition to our family is my little girl Diana Plum, though she is not my flesh and blood she is still the best thing that has ever happened to me and my only daughter, if I don't settle down.
I meet Diana when my team and I were on a rescue mission down in Colombia. A Colombian drug lord had kidnapped Diana and her parents. The goons did not harm her but they beat her parents pretty bad as they were almost dead when we reached them. Diana's mother made me promise that I would take Diana and care of her like my own daughter. Even though she was only four at the time she understood pretty well that her parents were no longer going to be with her and she was going to stay with me, so when we got her out she stuck on me like glue afraid that I was going to disappear just like her parents did. When I had to go on missions the hardest thing for me to do was to leave Diana behind with Dad.
My father and her shared a special bond as there were no other males present in my life. Dad always wanted a grandson who he could take fishing and to a baseball game but now he has her, who also shares the love of going to fish and enjoys baseball and loves to do both with her grandfather.
"Mommy come on, Grandpa is here. We gotta get moving," said my 6 years old Diana. Today we were moving back to Trenton with Dad.
"Coming sunshine," I said.
