It was usual bust...Bullets zooming past and bombs exploding as we ran towards the armored, camoflauge hummer. To my platoon, it was a search and rescue gone wrong.

"Mariah, over here!"
"Mariah!"
Several photographer's yelled for the singer's name, she smiled and waved before going in her limo. Once the car sped away, Mariah gripped her gun, pointing at the man in the gray suit and said," Can somebody explain what the hell is my name doing on a Billboard?"

"Enough questions, answer me. Now."
Tommy laughed," You are the top selling female artist of the last five years."
Mariah laughed," Your completely insane. I'm just a general. General Carey, nothing else."
"Am I?"
