***ARI POV***

***6 MONTHS LATER***

"I know how to get them out Sammy. I have a plan and its good." I said and Sammy rolled his eyes. Sammy just had a slight fit seeing me when he walked into the exam room of the clinic, he was running seeing me sitting on the exam table.

"Yeah, that's what you always say Ari until everything goes to shit." Sammy said and I started to open my backpack I had with all the information in it.

"Just hear me out, you don't like what I say I'm gone." I said and started unpacking everything. The maps show the information and everything on Red Sea Diving Resort. Where all of this was going to be taking place and base camp.

Sammy got annoyed and walked over and started to put everything back in my bag.

"Come on Sammy, you're the best field doctor I know." I said,

"I used to be until on the last mission I fucked up my one hand." Sammy said and looked down seeing his messed-up hand.

"Hey both hands tied behind your back you're still the best." I said. "I need you on this one Sammy, I can't do it without you." I said as he just looked at me.

"No." Sammy said opening the door to the exam room and I groaned grabbing all of my stuff.

"You're the only one of this whole crew that has been over there and knows the ins and outs." I said.

"Ari, I will not go back. Things happened over there that I haven't forgiven myself for and I won't ever forgive myself." Sammy said.

"I know you lost people, everyone loses someone eventually..."

"Not the way I did Ari! You didn't watch people get massacred! You didn't see someone on your team who you promised you would get them home get shot right in front of you because they sacrificed themselves! I will not do this again Ari!" Sammy said and I groaned.

"Don't you feel maybe you owe it to those people to come with me and help me out?" I asked and Sammy groaned.

"Who else is on the team?" Sammy asked and I sighed.

"Rachel Reiter, Max Rose for sure, I'm working on getting Jake. I have everything all planned Sammy. I just need you." I said and held out the plane ticket.

"I will listen to your plan, but I will end up saying no, I swear to you I will." Sammy said and I smiled at him.

"That's all I can ask." I said and gave a small smile.

A few weeks later we are all in Zurich at the Natcor offices. Sammy, myself, Max, Rachel and Jake. It was time to put the plan in motion and get out fake identities down and facts straight.

Ethan Levin was standing in the corner of the room as we went over identities, and I could see him watching Sammy closely. Once we took a break Ethan came walking up to me.

"You sure Sammy is up for this mission? I mean he went through a lot the last time. I just read his debriefing packet last night from his first mission and the things he saw..."

"I trust him, Ethan. He is the best doctor I have for this mission that we will need." I said and Ethan sighed.

"He lost people Ari. One person very important to him. He watched her get shot and left for dead on the beach. Yet here you are dragging him back in." Ethan said and I groaned.

"He will be fine. I have faith in him. He will be able to handle it." I said and Ethan just sighed.

"Just be sure of that Ari, we can't have any fucks up on this. You're going into this blind. No back up, no guns, no nothing. It's you and your crackpot team going in halfcocked." Ethan explained.

"We will be fine Ethan. We have it under control." Ari said and Ethan groaned but walked out of the meeting room we were in. I walked to the window and looked out over Zurich and groaned. I didn't know anything, but the team member Sammy lost on his last trip. I just knew she was on his team, nothing else.

"What did Ethan just tell you?" I heard Sammy ask.

"Just that the person you lost was very important to you. I should have honestly thought about that. You said you promised to get them home, now Ethan said they were important to you. What were they to you exactly Sammy?" I asked turning to look at him.

"She was someone I thought once we got home, I would be able to spend my life with. She distracted the terrorists and died right in front of me as she was trying to get to a boat. She was always all about the mission, never cared about anything else. She was shot and killed, and I left her there. I didn't even get to bring her body back for her family. Do you know how hard that was to tell her sister and father that she was gone." Sammy explained and I groaned.

"Sammy, you needed to up front and honest with me! If this is too hard for you..."

"I tried telling you that before Ari but I'm in this now! No backing out!" Sammy said. I ran my hands through my hair. "Listen, I have thought long and hard about this. I want to do this. I want to do this in memory of her. She was all about the mission, I can do this for her." Sammy said and I nodded.

"You can. And we will." I said giving Sammy a slight nod.
