"Ricky!"
Richard Rogers turned to the voice calling from the nearby parking lot just in time to see her pressing the shutter release on her camera. He laughed. "Don't you have enough of those?"
"Of what?" the pretty redhead asked, knowing full well what Rick meant. "I could never have enough pictures of you without your clothes on."
He looked down at and gestured to his camouflage trousers and corrected, "I have clothes on."
The woman set her camera aside and began toward him, slowly shedding her own clothes: sweat shirt, shorts, tee shirt, bra, and panties created a Hansel and Gretel trail back to the car, leaving her naked except for her deck shoes by the time she reached him and began working at his buttons as she kissed his lips, saying, "I can fix that."
It was early April, cold and windy, but they made love their on the grass of the otherwise abandoned State Park as easily and eagerly as if they were under layers of warm bedding back in the motel room. After they'd cum, though, they didn't dawdle. They gathered their clothes, dressed, and headed for the nearest café for a pie and hot cocoa.
"Why do you have to go back there?" she asked as they finished. The delightful tone she'd had all day up to that point was now replaced with a combination of fear and resentment. "Why do you have to leave me?"
"I'm not leaving you, Carlie," he countered quickly. "I invited you to come--"
She laughed loudly. "Come with you...? To that hell hole?"
"It's my home."
"It was your home," she conflicted, waving impatiently at the waitress for the check. She glared at Rick. "Fifteen years ago it was your home. Now, it's a crime ridden, druggie hell hole. Why would you go back to that place? There's nothing there for you."
"My sister's there," Rick told her, looking at the check and -- handing the waitress a twenty -- told her to keep the change. The teen beamed at the massive tip, ogled the impressive man, and walked away with a bit more swing in her hips than that with which she'd arrived. Rick laughed before looking back to the redhead to see no humor in her face at all. "My sister's there ... someplace. And my father--"
"Who you haven't talked to since you went into the Navy," she reminded him.
Rick diverted his gaze to the ocean, visible in the distance beyond the cafe's west facing windows. She was right, of course. Greenville was a hell hole. The town of 50,000 had its nice neighborhoods, just like any city did. But of its six distinct neighborhoods, four -- including Rick's own neighborhood of West Lawn -- were dominated by brutal, violent street gangs fueled by drug sales, prostitution, extortion, and burglary.
"I have to try to get them out of there, Carlie," Rick told her. "That's why I got out."
By got out, Rick meant out of the Navy, not out of the neighborhood. After hearing that his mother had been killed in a drive by shooting, he'd submitted his resignation from the SEALs to go home and help his estranged family. The reunion hadn't gone well: his father hadn't shown up at the funeral at all; his sister had but she'd been strung out on heroine and left with a pair of doper scum after the two of them had begun fighting; and the few family friends who had come had been split pretty evenly between telling Rick to save himself by going back to the Navy and telling Rick that this would never have happened if he hadn't fled to the service on his 18th birthday a decade and a half earlier.
They sat there in silence for a long moment. Carlie finally stood, walked to Rick's side of the table, leaned in, and gave him an soft but erotic kiss. When she pulled back, she whispered, "I'll miss you."
"I won't be gone long, Carlie," he promised.
"Yes you will," she corrected. "You think you're going there to get your father ... your sister ... to get them out and come back here ... to me. But ... you're not. That's not who you are, Ricky. You'll get there ... see the problems ... and you'll find a need to fix what you can ... to make it the way it was when you were there last. But ... you can't. You can't ... and you know you can't ... but ... you're not the type to quit."
She leaned in to kiss him softly one more time, caressed his cheek, stood tall, and said with finality, "I'll always love you."
She turned, leaving Rick to watch her depart alone. They had the room for another two nights, but Rick knew that this was their last moment together. He'd known since telling her about West Lawn's problems and his decision to go back there that Carlie couldn't live with the thought. She'd stuck with him through six missions, two of which had seen him shot and a third ending with him almost bleeding out after a IED explosion.
But this was unlike any mission he'd been on before. Rick's missions had been very dangerous, of course, but he'd never lived in a war zone day after day for months on end like so many unsung heroes of the US Armed Forces fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq or now in Syria. Rick's SEAL unit had typically been inserted into a war zone for a day or two, maybe a week, to perform a specific mission before getting the hell out. They did the top secret missions that the public often never heard of or -- if they did -- didn't hear about until months later.
West Lawn would be like that first action: day after day of danger, highlighted by the very frequent firing of weapons, often of the automatic nature. The three gangs fighting over control of West Lawn had no qualms about killing each of the other gang's members; and if civilians died as collateral damage, well ... sorry. Their only concern was gaining full control of the district, and to achieve that goal, all methods were on the table.
