    About this ebook

    Season 1, Episode 6. The Hellfire Legacy: The Traitor

    A Bitesize Read - a full 1-hour read.

    The billionaire playboy, Christian Carter, takes a hand in this game of terrorism and assassination. And as with everything he does, he has to be the best.

    Melissa, swept away by his attention and her desperate need for love, is now his spy, and through her he discovers a painful truth; Master Sergeant Ethan Gill is no dumb jarhead. He is the most formidable adversary he has ever faced.

    If Christian is to play the winning hand, then he has to eliminate the opposition. And that opposition is Ethan.

    A war on two fronts is usually unwinnable, but that’s what Ethan is fighting now. He just doesn’t know it.

    And may be dead before he finds out.

      The Traitor

      Ethan walked out of the windswept cemetery and waited by two identical black Suburbans for Kelsey to show. He had no doubt she was at the funeral, the government car gave more than a hint, but he’d have known anyway. She would have come to pay her respects to one of the men who’d saved her daughter, but she would’ve stayed back in the shadows so she didn’t intrude on the family’s grief.

      It was a high price, she said as she came and stood beside him. Those boys lose their father so my daughter is safe.

      Ethan leaned back against the car and looked at the grave and the friends hugging and saying what everyone says at such a time.

      Ben was a soldier, Ethan said.

      Yes, but this isn’t a war. He shouldn’t be dead.

      He turned to her and was silent for several seconds, then put his hand on her arm. She looked up at him and her eyes were lined with grief for a man she’d never met, but to whom she owed everything.

      "This is a war, Ethan said softly. As much of a war as any in some foreign shitty desert. He took her hands in his. Somebody’s killing the people who protect this country. And killing them on our own soil." He looked again at the grave, now deserted except for Joanne and the two boys standing in silence in front of the shiny black casket.

      Will we find them, Ethan? She was crying. Tears ran down her cheeks and along her jawline.

      He wiped away the tears with his finger and tried to smile at her, but the pain was too great.

      "We will find them. I will find them. He took a long slow breath. And they’ll pay for this. He glanced again at the grave. And for bringing their filth to our home."

      She wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand. Then let’s go and do that.

      Ethan raised a finger and she turned and saw Chuck, Winter, Smokey, and Loco walking up the path from the chapel.

      She left Ethan and went to them and hugged each one in turn without speaking. Loco grinned, but the rest returned the hug with varying degrees of discomfort. Winter patted her on the back as if she were a baby with wind, then stepped back as quickly as he could without offending her.

      She took a breath to control herself, then looked at each of them. There are no words to express my gratitude for what you boys did for me, a complete stranger. She looked at the grave. "And the price
