Chapter Two Mission One
A few days later, he leaves Base. He reached the front door to his Home where his Wife and Son live. His Son is the first to hear a loud knock at the front door. He jumped up from the floor after he heard several hard knocks. After he remembered hearing that his Father would reach, home sometime today, smiles. He reached for the door- lock to unlock it. He unlocked it and pulled it open. All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning struck a street lamp outside their Home. A Soldier in a Military Green Uniform remained in the entrance. He held a lit lighter so he would not scare him. The Young Boy's Eyes open wide. They were as big as golf balls. He found himself staring back in disbelief or just surprised. The Soldier's Eyes were tinted in a thin layer of red light that came from both lightning and brake lights from a passing vehicle that drove by. Within a second his eyes were filled with a red blood color. A large Man almost 6 foot tall in a Military Uniform smiled back! Whispers, I'm Home, I hope I do not have to leave for some time. All of a sudden a flame from his lighter disappeared! It felt like a thrill that he waited for, lied in a touch of a lighter for a reason or the other. As if a lighter with a tiny flame that burned forever, did in his Mind. Yet in reality, it lasted only a few seconds. Then it simply vanished when he removed his thumb. He lowered his head he glanced down at his Son with a massive smile on his face. His eyes were, filled with nothing except shock. He raised his head again. He stared back like, he saw a Devil and his Father in Uniform for a split second. He realizes his eyes were no longer red nor filled with blood but natural the color they we're meant to be. His Father stood in the entrance in Uniform for a couple of seconds more. Finally, he removed a gold metal chain from the front door overhead. He swung the door open the rest of the way. He remained in the entrance. He stepped into a small hall in a blood red colored beret. The same color his eyes were before he finally opened the front door to allow him into the Home. After a minute or so he mumbled hi Dad! First, he had to confirm that the man in Uniform is his real Father! He remembered his Mom told him. He would be home early the following day. He heard voices afterward can I come in Alexander. Finally, he broke his concentration in a soft tone. It sounded more like he didn't want to scare him. His Son now 8 Years old remembered nothing except his red eyes in a door.
His Father's Hair is almost shoulder length. His chest is covered in War Medals. He wore a smile from ear to ear. He bent down he lifted him off the ground after he smiled back. He kissed him on the cheek. He placed his burgundy colored beret over his tiny head. Whispered, I miss you a whole bunch son. He placed his red beret down on top of his head. Kissed him on his cheek he whispered again. Do not forget, always on the right cheek for boys Alexander. Always, on the right cheek! It will be my way of telling you that it's me. No, matter where I am. No, matter where I go! If, you ever feel a kiss on the right cheek! It meant I am here!
Guess What, Tomorrow morning. I have a big surprise for you. We will be going to Church. I'm going to say a Prayer. I'm going to Thank God that everyone is Well and Alive. And for Soldiers still in action overseas that we had to leave behind. Do not tell me, yo u cannot go to Church. His Father and Son stare at each other then at his Wife Alexander's Mother. Dad always told me we we're going to Church. Last time we went. He Prayed his Prayer before he left Church. He told me that St Peter in Heaven will be there in Church. He is the Father to every American Soldier that fought in War and Battle. St Peter is the Saint. He belonged to the Military Soldier. He was there on the Day they we're Born. He will be there on the Day that they Die! He will claim their soul that Angels will take back with them to Heaven. Too fight alongside St Peter's Angels that Fight against Evil! God has an Army of Angels! He told me that so did Lucifer and the Devil. Angels in Heaven we're just like Soldiers on Earth. Everyone has a job to do both here and In Heaven. Angels in Heaven protect it from bad angels! Hell's Angels from armies of Demons. If they got to Earth before hell broke loose. They would be in trouble. Human Angels would save them from certain death! Dad never lies about The Bible or St Peter. He is up there somewhere in Heaven. He will always be up there! He will wait for Soldiers in Uniform until the day they die. Military Men often do in War! She remained in the hall she listened, watched and stared into his eyes to look for an answer.

I will walk with you down the stairs instead, Alexander. We should hurry Dad. I think Mom could get upset if dinner got cold.
Within minutes, they finish Dinner. It almost sounded like they we're in Church it is so quiet. After dinner, he climbed to his feet. He released Alexander from his seat. He allowed him to run free while he removed several dirty plates on the kitchen table. Placed them in the sink where, he decided to leave them. Afterward, he moved toward his Wife. She sat down in her seat to eat dinner. He bent down he kissed her on the neck. Her left cheek followed before he whispers that it's nice to be Home. If you need me, I will be somewhere in the house.

Who from the sound of it, he had no idea. He realize he played with a mini toy soldier. He stepped into the living room, filled with pictures of Family. They're both surrounded by Family on both sides. On a wall in that same room. Finally, he realized that he's Home for now. For how long and when he had no idea. His Son sat on the floor he wore a military red beret. I ts rested on the top of his head with a toy soldier clutched tight in his right hand. He decides to sit down on the floor next to him to watch him play with his toys. He stopped to hand him back his toy after taking a quick glance at. Two space aliens played with each other like they were mortal enemies, made of harden plastic? His Wife washed dishes in the kitchen the entire time he sat on a thin beige carpet in the living room while he played with plastic toys.
He continues to play with toy figures while he kept both eyes on every move that he made. He stole several glances of pictures that hung on walls. Or sat across from him on a living room mantle. His Wife washed dishes in the kitchen. He started on the table than stove. Before long they we're both sitting on a living room carpet. He continued to play with his Son Alex. A clock on a wall told him that it's almost 9 PM in the Evening.
His Son remained awake, he lied down on the floor. With his hands held on two toys like he did not want to let go or to lose them in anyway. Maybe, he is thrilled that his Father's Home. Maybe, he just liked to stay up late or a little longer than usua l. Except, its bed time isn't it. He wanted to be alone with his Lonely Wife. She looked like she wanted the same thing so they had nothing but smiles for each other. She realized it's what Mike wanted. He rises from the sofa to take a better look around.
