Phoenix's POV

"There we go." Sarah says as we finish hanging up my dad's memorial flag shadow box in my office that I stream in.

"Yay." I softly cheer as I look at the two shadow box's that contain my parents' Memorial flags.

While I was at the World Championships, Sarah got my Mom and Dads' Memorial flags from their burial and their different medals, medal ribbons, badges, dog tags, and patches then she took them to a local woodworking lady and had her build a shadow box for my Mom's military stuff and my Dad's military stuff.

I never knew my parents had so many medals.

The shadow boxes are set up with the Memorial Flags in a wood case on the top of the box then in the box below the flag, the actual medals are lined up in rows in the middle of the box.

Surrounding the Medals is a picture of my parents in their fancy uniforms as well as my parents' medal ribbons, badges, dog tags, and patches.

"That lady did good." I say.

"Yes she did." Sarah says. "Why are your dad's dog tags black?"

"Special operations dog tags have been black since 1967 so that they can wear them during covert operations and not giveaway that they're there." I say.

"Well that makes sense." Sarah says. "You think you'll visit your parents in February?"

The second matchday of the SheBelieves tournament will be held in DC instead of Nashville for some reason.

My parents are buried next to each other at Arlington National Cemetery.

"Maybe." I say. "I'll see how I do after going to Baltimore in November."

"Sounds good." My girlfriend says then both of our phones start buzzing like crazy.

"Well this can't be good." I say then I pull out my phone and see why it's buzzing.

"Oh for fuck's sake." Sarah says as she looks at the cause of our phone's buzzing

A video was just posted of Kristie Mewis making out with some lady named Sam Kerr at a restaurant here in LA.

"She's dead." I say then I leave my office and head up to Isobel's room.

"I'm gonna kill her." Kiyana says as she, Yasmijn, and I reach Isobel's room

"Not if I get to her first." I say then Yasmijn bangs on the door.

Our respective bedroom doors can only be opened by a biometric fingerprint scan and only the people who sleep in said bedroom are able to open the door with their fingerprint when the doors shut.

"ISOBEL OPEN THE DOOR." Kiyana shouts then the door opens up.

"What's wrong?" Isobel asks.

"Where is she?" I question as I walk into Isobel's room.

"Who?"

"Your cheating girlfriend."

"Cheating?" Isobel asks then Kiyana hands her phone to our favorite track coach.

"Who's at the door Isobel?" Kristie says as she comes out of the bathroom then she looks at us. "What?"

"You're dead." I say then I walk towards the older woman.

"Easy" Yasmijn says as she wraps an arm around me and holds me back.

"What's going on?" Kristie asks.

"Get out of my house you fucking cheating whore." I say as I look at Kristie.

"I'm not doing anything until Isobel says..." Kristie says.
