The Hunter's blind heart.

Chapter 15

In less than 2 days I will reach the destination where my marine companions will be waiting for me and the expedition will be in a jungle, far from civilization, I wonder what the heck we could ever find there.

What I know and that I have to get away from my family again, I hope that my little one does not grow up too fast and that I will be there in the most important moments, but unfortunately, I do not know anything about what our goal or our mission will be, it will come all explained upon arrival, what a hassle.

Everything seems to be too secret, but what could it be, arms trafficking, tracking down a slave courier, or suppressing a revolt? As I kept thinking about the future I didn't realize that next to me came my beloved wife with our daughter in her arms.

I turned to them, the little girl was only a few weeks old and was already beautiful like her mother and with a character as strong as her father, while my wife had a worried look, but she didn't want to show it, I know her, she has always been a self-confident person but if there is something that worries her she will never tell you, but by now I have learned to read her thoughts and understand her looks and attitudes.

" Don't worry dear I'll be back home as soon as possible, it won't be a long mission, I'm sure. You also know that we have faced much worse things, the war has taught us a lot and made us even stronger." 

"I know too, but the fact that nothing is known about the mission or what the goal will be worries me and I can't help but think that if we hadn't had a daughter I would certainly have come too, but I know even though it's different now, promise me you'll be careful."

" I promise you! And when I come back, no more weapons or missions, mother bear. " I said in my turn, trying to make her smile and dampen a little the tension and anxiety that had been created. " Don't call me that, please! If you don't want to sleep on the sofa for the next few days!" she replied jokingly. 

<< TIME SKIP >>

The remaining days with my family have passed too quickly and now that I have arrived on a ferry on this distant coast and forgotten by everyone and everything, I believe that my wife has not seen me for a long time, here something does not add up once I arrive I notice that we are outside the entrance of a dense jungle, humid and arid and the base is in one of the few wooden houses built on this god-forgotten coast.

Arrived here now all I had to do was follow my companions and go to one of these houses where our boss and the general of this operation were waiting for us. I notice that my teammates are quite similar to me, strong and self-confident, but I also know that each of us will have his potential in different things, one is good at traps and tracking, the other is a formidable shooter and more strong at melee and stealth, they are all honorable and veterans, my longtime companions, I can trust them.
