Thank you for the comments. This is the Final Chapter.
The next morning Steve and his men had geared up to meet the transport out of Kandahar. It was time for them to return to their mission.
"We hate to leave you guys, but we got orders" Steve spoke to his wounded men "once you're cleared, you will be joining us. Don't think a little booboo is going to get you a free pass home" he joked
"We wouldn't miss it sir. You can't get rid of us that easy" the soldier responded
"Take care" Steve leaned down and hugged is friends
He and the other Seals ran across the airfield, approaching the transport, when Steve heard someone call out his name.
"Steve! Wait!" Rebecca shouted as she ran towards him
"Here" she handed him a photo of herself in her Canadian Uniform "my number and email address is on the back"
"I appreciate it but…" Steve didn't know how to let her down gently
"No, it's not for you. Give it to your girlfriend. I would love to meet her sometime. Maybe once all this over, we can get into contact with each other. After all how many people get to meet their twin?" she smiled
"I will make sure she gets it and I will make sure she gets in touch with you. Thank you" he was sincere
"Oh and Commander… tell her how you feel about her. Someone gave me some good advice yesterday. You never know what's going to happen out here. She should know" she smiled
"Good advice Major" he saluted and ran to the transport where his team was waiting patiently.
Rebecca stood at the edge of the airstrip and watched as the transport took off. This was a very strange encounter, but one that she would never have traded. The handsome SEAL had helped open her eyes and given her a new perspective on her situation there in Kandahar. Besides, now she knew that somewhere out there, on an aircraft carrier, in the middle of the Persian Gulf, was someone that looked exactly like her; her twin.
Thank you for reading. I hope that you enjoyed it. I know that it is short but I just felt that Steve would be cheating on Catherine if it went further. Let me know what you thought about it.
