LEADING TO DAWN Book 1

Untitled Part 2- Fear Not

                In Dar Es Salaam,  Sometimes the past always has a way to come back to life and we cannot do anything about it. When that happens,  we only have two options, either to run away or to face it. If we choose to run away, it always finds a way to catch up with us. When we face our past it's a bold move  to do and realize we are  be able to handle. Kate Harrison, Nicholas's aunt and Nathaniel share a blur past which both want to forget . They have avoided it for the past twenty five years of their lives. Now the moment caught up with them with nowhere to hide. Both of them were leads in the case.They were not with each other this time, but against each other. Back then both of them were unstoppable together.  Nathaniel became a judge at a very young age and decided he wanted kids  and settle.  Kate chose to stay a lawyer and chose career over having a family. The problem was Kate lied about  having a child, she did have one ,but put him for adoption

    They  loved each other in the past , but Nathaniel chose to move on and not continue hurting himself over Kate.   ''Hello Kate it has been two decades now'' Nathaniel said. ''Yes,  it has been you have really changed and all glowing being a judge made you different''. She replied. ''So how is everything, life, anything new?'' He asked. ''Not really same old, same old me'' Kate replied. '' Well, you look nice and well off seems you and your brother have a very successful business'' Nathaniel said. ''Yes we do and you retired from being a judge and now you have opened your own firm, it is a change I did not expect since you would have gone to the ranches and do whatever the retired judges said. ''Excuse me, who is she?'' Amanda interrupted. ''Well, my dear, this is Kate Harrison of Harrison and Associates'' He replied. ''Wow the Kate who you always had a thing for in the past?'' Amanda said ''the one you won cases with before things got all mixed up'' she added. ''Yes, that Kate'' Mr Nathaniel replied. '' Your assistant admires my work'' Kate said. ''No Kate, she is not my assistant, she is my Daughter'' Nathaniel replied. ''Oh Sorry about that'' Kate apologized to Amanda. ''While growing up your reputation was high in our home because  Dad always compared notes on your past cases with him it made him a better judge somehow'' Amanda replied. ''My mom kind of felt threatened by your work and thought he would flip out and go nuts because of you it kind of made her not so well, so she decided to choose a better path without dad'' Amanda added. ''Sorry to hear that Nate, hope you still are in good terms with her'' Kate said. ''Of course we are, we just don't live together  anymore, but all is good'' Nathaniel replied. The conversation between Nathaniel and Kate continued while Amanda left to find Chris.

             When one returns from serving their country in a hostile nation in places like the middle east or north Africa or just central west of East Africa, one deserves a heroes welcome, but some people don't like being  termed as heroes because they are just as human as everybody else and the same hours they get to live so is everybody else. Life gives us second chances to have something different and better and when we choose to come back home and serve from home it still counts because no one else will train the future soldiers or doctors or teacher or nurses or any other profession for  that matter the integrity and honor one has to have as a better person.

       

       We all have moments we don't want to remember because we have seen things that can never be unseen from our eyes and when returning home, all one can think of is how to overcome the losses he or she has and the time he or she has been away from home. Grayson Nathaniel Justice when he chose to join the Army, he had one goal in mind to serve and do things differently in places that nobody else has reached. For all the time he has been away, he got few holidays which he came back home, but this time it was for good and he wanted to bring positive influence here at home and it sounded a reasonable deed when he told his superiors, he was an exceptional soldier and many looked up to him for advice and it was time he brought all the skills back home and pass it to others to learn and do. After returning from Sudan, Somalia and Democratic Republic of Congo tours he was given a medal of honor and his rank went up to Captain so his name now was Captain Grayson Justice.
