Mercenary.

Navy SEAL.

Unconventional Operative.

I didn’t join the Teams. I was recruited. They called me the Specialist. They said I had a unique skill set. I knew the truth.

For eight years, the Navy tried to rein me in with their tactics, techniques and procedures.They told me to adapt and overcome. I didn’t adapt. I did my job.

Now I worked for Alpha Elite Security. If you called me the Specialist, I’d eliminate you before you took your next breath. If you recognized me, it was already too late. I lived by my instincts and used the resources at my disposal. No target was out of my range…until my boss unknowingly handed me the one assignment that was.
