A Horse Called Nevada — William Brown

It's not over 'til it's over. ""The sun was just beginning to rise above the horizon as Will and Petey watched the unmarked jet bank and turn to make its final approach into the Sikeston Airpark. Will wondered what the townspeople would be thinking when they heard a jet come in right over the center of the town this early in the morning, or at any time for that matter. He also wondered if Mary Ann had heard the noise and if she would connect the jet's arrival to his departure. He hadn't told her he was leaving; he knew it would be too painful. While the crew loaded his gear, he took a moment to say goodbye to Petey. Their lifelong friendship was being interrupted once again, and Will knew Petey had great concern for his well being. Although he had down played the danger, Petey knew this was no ordinary mission."" Will Brandon grew up in Southeast Missouri. When he was old enough, he joined the army, becoming a paratrooper, a Green Beret, and later an advisor with Special Forces for the government in Vietnam. Although he witnessed and participated in atrocities he'd like to forget, he returned home to the U.S. with the desire to only think of war in the past tense. That's when he got the call for one last mission.
