Everyday Combat

Chapter 01: Life Changes

Late 2017 – September/October

Elizabeth Reynolds joined the Army at the age of twenty in 2000, three years after her brother Brock left home in 1997 and joined the Navy. In 2003 she met and married the then Presidents son and had two children with him – her son Jack born in 2006 and daughter Sierra in 2008. They divorced in 2009 after a failed marriage which landed on him and not her, that same year she met Sonny Quinn. She was there when Sonny and her brother became Tier 1 Operatives, years after she had become one of the only females in Delta Force – something that she hadn't been able to tell them.

"Hey you, it's Liz. Just got this feeling that something isn't right. I'm heading out in a few days...give me a call when you get the chance. Love you," Elizabeth left a message on Sonny's phone as she walked around the house that was empty while the kids were at school. The second she hung up the phone rang again. "Sonny?"

"Hey, how do you know when something is wrong?" Sonny Quinn questioned, running a hand over his face as he looked around the cages.

"I know you, Sonny what's up?" Elizabeth sighed, she could almost hear the distress that he was trying to hide in his voice.

"Been thinking about Danny," Sonny told her, that was what she was feeling – the guilt that he had as he had thought it was all his fault.

"That wasn't your fault, you even told me that yourself...please darling try to stop beating yourself up," Elizabeth sat on the couch and put her feet up. "Listen, I'm heading out in a few days – got asked to do some FBI consultant work, Tiffy and Mack agreed to look after the kids,"

"I can't help that," Sonny sighed, resting his head upon the wall of his cage as he listened to her. "We're about to head out too,"

"Figured," Elizabeth answered, she knew a little more than what she was letting on. "Sonny, what ever you do please don't let this get to you,"

Elizabeth knew that whatever it was that Sonny was about to do could end his career if he went through with it. She couldn't tell him just yet that she was going to be their back up. There was something that she had to keep secret from him and it killed her on the inside.

"Screw it...Sonny...I'll see you in less than twenty-four hours, you can not say a word," Elizabeth took a deep breath before she spoke again. "No one is meant to know...only people who know are my boss and your boss,"

"Say what?" Sonny questioned, suddenly realising what his wife had just said to him.

"You heard me...special request,"

Less than a month later and Elizabeth was being told that it was time go back to Virginia again. They were putting what they had been working towards for the past six years into action. Her team didn't know that she had just been there or why, nor did her cousin who had been working there with her brother. The only person who knew where she had been was Brigadier General Tom Ryan, her CO.

"Hey Betty Blue, how's everything going?" Mack Gerhardt questioned, from the Three hundred and Three logistics where he was situated.

"Dirt Diver, the current team is a possibility," Charles Grey responded pausing before he continued.

"How many have you narrowed it down to?" Mack was curious, there was a slight laugh to his voice as he spoke. Bob Brown and Elizabeth Reynolds walked into the room and stood beside him. Mack didn't hear Charles' answer as the man hadn't been able to narrow it down too much.

"How's Charles doing with the SEAL's?" Elizabeth laughed, she knew that her cousin's chosen code name was in relation to her childhood nickname.

"Betty Blue's doing just fine, you're headed there next week. Ryan's orders," Mack told her and then motioned for the two of them to head towards where Brigadier General Tom Ryan was watching them.

"Bob, Liz, we're sending you two in to the world of Navy SEAL's, not my call," Tom told them, Elizabeth looked at Bob as if to say he does realise that the only reason that Charles is still there is because of my husband.

"Can I make a call?" Elizabeth questioned, biting her lip as she looked at the older man.

"Make it quick," Tom told her, Elizabeth nodded and walked from the room and then quickly walked outside and sat on one of the benches. Tom understood the risk of what Elizabeth was doing it was partially his fault that she hadn't been able to tell Sonny what she did.

As Elizabeth sat down she pulled out her phone and stared at it, unsure of whether to call her husband, cousin or her brother first. She opted to call her husband first as all he thought she did was a little logistics. Elizabeth dialled her husbands number and waited patiently for him to pick up.

"Hey," Elizabeth smiled when he picked up the phone. "Sorry to call you, I know you probably just got back from a mission,"

"Hey Liz, everything okay?" Sonny questioned, looking around the base as they had literally just returned from a mission like she had guessed. He was in the process of putting his gear away.

"Yeah, just needed to hear your voice...and to tell you something," Elizabeth took a deep breath pausing before she continued to speak. "Charles is with you guys for an ulterior motive...we're recruiting for a joint operational team...Sonny...I'm..." she didn't know how to tell him that she was Delta Force and had been since the day they met. "Oh screw it, I'm with Delta Force. So is Charles, look you can't tell your friends that, hell I'm only warning you because I love you, and your my husband,"

"Woah, Liz slow down darlin'," Sonny stepped away from the rest of his group excusing himself and going outside. "Your brother told me, I agreed to keep it between me and him...I was waiting for you to tell me yourself," he paused taking a deep breath before he continued. "I love you no matter who you are, you know that," Elizabeth's older brother Brock had let it slip one day what was happening as he knew what it meant to her.

"I know, I'm just sorry I lied to you," Elizabeth sighed, running a hand through her hair before she continued to talk. "Sonny, the reason I told you is because we need to start recruiting in a few days so I'll be coming to see you," she was still sitting on the bench outside and was starting to hope that someone would join her outside. "Wait...Brock told you about who Charles was and what I did?"

"Delta Force...that explains so much," Sonny let out a low chuckle, they had, had their share of fights in their years of marriage. "Yeah, he said to not tell you,"

"Hey! You could have said something before now, you know that," Elizabeth glared at her phone as Bob and Mack walked out and joined her. "He already knows," she mouthed as the men sat on either side of her. "The kids are with their grandparents for the week," Elizabeth told Sonny – she was referring to her children Sierra and Jack from her first marriage.

Elizabeth and Sonny talked for a few more minutes before he had to rejoin his team and she had to make a second phone call. Elizabeth smiled at both Bob and Mack as she dialled her cousins number. She laughed when he answered the phone. What neither Sonny or Elizabeth had been told was that Jason and Charles had known each other from a long time ago. Elizabeth's own brother didn't know that she was heading to the base.

"What?" Charles questioned, he was sitting in the mess hall with a cup of coffee trying to determine which of the recruits he'd put to the bottom.

"Hey Charlie," Elizabeth laughed, before she put him on speaker. "We need to move forward,"

"How are we looking?" Mack questioned, as they heard Charles being joined by someone sitting at the table with him.

"Good, got a few in mind," Charles answered before they heard him say something to Jason who had sat down opposite him.

"Sonny?" Elizabeth questioned, she really wasn't sure what she was doing sometimes. "Brock?"

"You know it, I'll see you soon," Charles answered before both of them hung up their respective phones. "Maybe,"

"Who will you be seeing soon?" Jason questioned as he realised in the years that he had known 'Adam' he didn't know all that much about the man.

"Kid cousin," was all Charles answered with a laugh, Jason shook his head at the man and put his attention back to his food.

At the 303rd Logistics Elizabeth was going over in her head what she and Bob had to do. She had hated that she'd spent the past six years lying to her husband (or so she thought) over what she did but once she had told him he'd understood as they both had missions that they could never talk about. Bob looked at her, having a fair idea of what she was going though in his head – he couldn't tell his wife nor his teenage children what they did.
