Laurie and I could only smile and nod with a yes.
Then the smiles disappeared because the General cleared his throat which means he is about to speak. And then he did and said, “well Agents, you Laurie, the doctors say that you will need a few months to get back to your old self, so take your time and get better. We can debrief you in a few days after the medical staff gives me the ok. But you Agent Walker, your doctors say that I can talk to you by tomorrow and I have set up a place for a debriefing down in one of the hospitals conference rooms. Then we will decide what is next for you.”
I smiled and gave a nod, but my mother gave the general a frown, so did Rosa.
Then my uncle Rick spoke and said, “pardon my boldness General, but don’t you think that Terri has been through a great deal and should have light duty for a while.”
Then the General said, “I said nothing of any new assignments, what said was that we are to debrief her here in the hospital so that she doesn’t have to be away from her care. That is all, when the time is right her commander will give her the mission. And that is as it was before, Charlie.”
My mother took a deep breath and so did I. I feel that a few weeks at least before I go back into the field, and I know that my brother would agree.
Then Charlie put his military cap back on and said, “Agent Smith, take care and I will be in touch soon. But only after your doctors say I can, and you Agent Walker, in the morning down stairs, and we can talk after debriefing of what is to come for you to do, desk or field, only you can say.”
He gave a wink and they all left the room. And I know what his wink meant, so I will decide what is next, and I feel it will be soon.
This is the first Terri Walker series of a woman who was to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a school teacher.
That scenario didn’t happen, but what did was that she followed in her brothers and uncles’ footsteps. Both of who were military special ops and not your typical ones either.
Terri Walker now begins her future which is to protect her country from all enemies both domestic and foreign.
From a quiet school teacher to an extremely tough fighter that never gives up. Terri Walker, Covert Government Agent is here to take care of business.
I want to thank all those who have raised their hands and swore an oath to defend the people of the United States of America from all that would want to do harm against them. Military, Law Enforcement and many of those secret agencies and its people, who only have an id number and never a name.
