Dark! Too damn dark! Starless sky, no moon and misty rain. Perfect! Buck don't seem to mind. For a hundred-sixty pound German Shepherd he sure knows how to be comfortable. Strange, his training was more extensive and in-depth than my own, yet he can take it all in stride. Maybe he is right, I should try to sleep and think about how all of this started and how I ended up here.

Serving with 3rd Special Forces Group had been the best two years of my life. I had excelled in weapons and tactics, and earned my 3rd dan black belt in record time. Though none of it would really be my savior in the next few weeks. No kind of training could prepare anyone for what I would encounter.
