## Recap

After discovering their friends and allies, including Jack Daniels were murdered for associating with them, they immediately began organizing to find the new terrorist group. Not having much to go on, Bravo Team proceeded to track down any and all potential leads. One potential lead, almost escaped had Cerberus not tracked him to a hidden room. While escorting him away, they were briefly attacked by a third group of rebels, wishing to kill him in order to stop them from talking. Contrast to the first three quiet weeks, they went on 11 missions in seven days.

The next day Brock ran Cerberus' through some training while the rest of the team enjoyed their first afternoon off in a while. Mike was quick to pick a fight with Ray, who for the most part ignored him. Despite this everyone cheered to a job well done. Later that day, Ray had a video chat with daughter, Jameelah, assuring her he was safe and happy as was *Miss. Lucy*. While Jason was outside paying his respects to the memorial for Jack Daniels. *Chaplain Ryan Walker* came over and offered some comforting words.

Meanwhile at *Combat Putpost Reading, Korengal Vally in Afghanistan*, Clay was still ridding out his punishment defending the border with a group of new recruits. He took note of the physical whereabouts of the enemy who had been watching them, noting they had followed a pattern. He correctly calculated where they would be watching from that night. He brought with him two eager recruits. While on Lookout, almost at the exact time he gassed, three men approached. Clay took out all three of them with a single shot each. However as a result, the base met with retaliation and three more men had arrived to attack them including one with a missile launch. Airstrike was still an hour out, so Clay decided to take two more recruits with him, as he needed them as spotters while he attempted to annihilate the target. After getting a close enough advantage in the field, he took them out. However one of the kids were shot. He carried him back and they were able to stitch him up. The kid was incredibly proud of what he had done, but Clay felt nothing by guilt for getting him in that situation. Clay was being called back to his team's base, and apologize for getting them into that situation, as it was he who kicked the Hornets nest.

Sonny was working on his father property mending fences. That's when he breached the subject with his dad that he was considering staying in Texas permanently. Later that night, Sonny formally apologize to Hannah for how he had ended things with her 18 years ago. He had just wanted to get away and in doing so, abandon everyone that had been in his life including her. She accepted his apology. A couple days later, father and son met up again, to which they buried the hatchet towards all previous animosities. He found Hanna and admitted he was thinking about staying in Texas.

Despite Mandy's best efforts at interrogation, she was unable to determine any information from the citizens they had captured. None had any information about a terrorist organization, or at least were willing to share. Regardless of what she offered, or threatened. Mandy and Lisa continued to try and work the problem, deciding they needed someone they could trust. And while getting lunch they forced Samim as a recruitment to help them find out if the upcoming meeting had to do with a terrorist location bubbling up. He was reluctant to agree, but Lisa forced his hand. Promising him it would be safe.

While working out, Ray and Mike got into another argument when he moved *Miss. Lucy* as a joke. Ray was not amused, and threatened him for touching his property. They got into a physical altercation and Trent broke them up. Jason came over to see what was going on, and Ray vented his anger. Later that night, Jason and Eric had a discussion about the team's performance and the urge, they were being put upon them to find a terrorist organization. Samim found Mandy, insisting he was too scared to enter the meeting. She threatened to revoke his food truck if he didn't comply. He reluctantly agreed. She later confessed to Jason how horrible she felt for forcing this man to put his life on the line for them.

The next day they were able to watch from inside the meeting, gaining facial recognition's on most everyone in the room. After hearing part of the conversation they had enough to bust in. Arresting everyone. Everyone was again terrorized by Mandy, and Reiss Julian, an attempt to squeeze out information. Though they knew there was something up in the group, they were looking for, no one seemed to know who is in charge.

Upon returning to base Clay was greeted by everyone, including the new guy Reiss. He found Jason, and confirmed to him that being the leader was heart and it was a lot put on your shoulders. Now, with his new information he was going to take with him to *Stay 21*. Jason was called back in by Mandy and Eric. Where Mandy unfortunately reveals they had let the possible head of the terrorist organization group go because of the troop drawdown
