2. Chapter 1

A simple set of tropical trees sit still, as a Huey flies past them, a Napalm run ignites the jungle, as it goes a blaze, many things rush along the mind of a young lion cub seem's distraught, his fan emitting the sound of a helicopters blades, his pistol laying next to him, his mind elsewhere, moments later, he's on his paws trying to mimic the martial arts as depicted in films, he then begins to fight his mind, and punches the mirror in the room, he then somersaults over the bed just noticing his wound, eventually he passed out.

The Lion wakes with a start, and rushes over to the window and looks through the blinds, a street outside is enough to tell the feline where he is. Cape Town, Sh!t. I'm still only in Cape Town. Every time I think I'm going to wake up back in the jungle. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I'd wake up and there'd be nothing… I hardly said a word to my wife until I said yes to a divorce. When I was here I wanted to be there. When I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I've been here a week now. Waiting for a mission, getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room I get weaker. And every minute Charlie squats in the bush he gets stronger. Each time I look around the walls move in a little tighter. Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. His mind said. Two soldiers walk up to the door to the Lions room. "Captain Willard? Are you in there?" asked one, "Yeah" a voice replied from behind the door, Willards mind continued to speak, It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I'd never want another, "What d'ya want?" Willard asked, "We have orders, sir" "What are the charges?" "There's no charges, Captain. You have orders to report to ComSec intelligence in Cairo." "Cairo?" "That's right. Come on captain, you still have a few hours to get cleaned up. Captain?" Willard was semi conscious, "Dave, give me a hand. Come on captain, let's take a shower. We're gonna take a shower, in we go ..." the two carried him to the shower, and turned it to burning hot, the water soaked him, waking Willard up, and singeing him, He yelled "OOOOOOHHHHHH!"
