TEN YEARS EARLIER
Scott stared at the book, the words blurring on the page. His buddies had
left the academy over thirty minutes ago, and he was kicking himself for
not going with them. One rare weekend they get an overnight pass, and he’d
said no, further instilling his reputation as the most disciplined midshipman.
Making SEAL would be tough, and odds were most wouldn’t make the cut.
He had no plans on being on the wrong side of the axe when it came down.
He was working his ass off, and it was costing him every bit of free time,
which wasn’t much to begin with.

What’s wrong with me?
He was about to go cross-eyed, and nothing was sinking in. Fuck it. A
few drinks wouldn’t hurt. He rubbed his tired eyes, slammed the book shut,
and called a cab.
Their normal place to drink was a dive bar in Georgetown, picked for
its proximity to the university, which meant drunk, hot college chicks. It
was a shit hole, but they were military guys and didn’t need much. It had a
twenty-five-cent jukebox full of great nineties music. There, they could
shoot darts, watch football, and play pool while getting wasted for next to
nothing.
“Well,” Jones hollered as Scott waltzed in the door, “look who graced
us with his presence!” he teased. “The Golden Boy has come out to play.”
Scott took a seat as Jones slapped him on the back.
“Yeah, yeah, I know. Forty-five-minute cab ride to this dump, only to
get harassed by you clowns. Now shut up and let’s drink.” Scott waived his
hand, flagging the waitress down.
“Tell me what you have on tap.”
She rattled off a list of beers and he settled for a Shiner.
“Beer? Oh, come on, Harris. You can do better than that. Live a little,”
Jones said.
“And shots of whiskey for all,” he added, giving Jones a glare for not
letting him finish his own damn order. He could drink those guys under the
table. It took a lot for his six-foot-three frame to get buzzed. These
fools were about to see who could hold their liquor better.
“Hell yeah,” Jones said.
The men loved to get him wasted to break his composure. It also didn’t
hurt that he was a fun drunk.
“You got it, honey.” The server gave him a wink and came back
several minutes later with their drinks and doled them out.
“Boys, to a night we’ll never forget.” Scott raised his glass. “Or, even
better—one we do.” He grinned, then downed the shot, chasing it with a
swig of beer.
They sat there for some time, eating greasy food, watching football,
laughing, and shooting the shit with each other. He was glad he came. He
needed this.
“Who’s up for pool?” Scott stood from the table, chugging the last of
his drink.
“I’m down.” Jones stood.
A few of the other guys followed them to the pool table. The rest
stayed behind to watch the game and hit on the waitress with the big
knockers.
