Holiday A Soldier Is Never Off Duty Novels & Stories

"Company, attention! Render salute to the First-Class Meritorious Hero of Talon Unit, Callan Wright!" When all the soldiers snapped to attention and saluted me, reporters and guests around us went into a frenzy. "Oh my god! He's a First-Class Meritorious Hero!" "I just called him a beggar… I'm such a fool…" The people who'd mocked me moments ago now hung their heads, burning with shame. Velda's face was completely bloodless. It finally dawned on her what kind of man she'd crossed, but now, it was far too late. Gunthar's gaze was sharp as he turned around. "Callan has spent ten years guarding the nation's borders with near-death sacrifices. His family is the family of every soldier in this se

"We guard the nation and protect the people. That is our duty. If it's proven that he poses a threat to Spark City, then I'll find a way to lure him out, hold him down, and use missiles to kill him."

"Can't we just assign him some mission, send him somewhere remote, and bomb the place afterward?"

He sighed, “No charge for this one sis. This one is also a thank you from me.” I laughed, “Ray, you’re so sappy.” He chuckled, “I have a lot of respect for members of the military, security forces, and police. They leave home every day knowing there is a chance that they won’t come home.” I sighed, “I get it. I’m the same way. I need to get busy. I’m looking forward to seeing your design.” We ended the call promising not to let too much time go by before we talk again.

The drive through the town managed to bring back my happy mood as I excitedly marveled at all the holiday decorations. "Remind me to get sunglasses if I don't want to get blinded by all the holiday lights here," He grumbled. "Sure, I'd put that in my notes app next to the note about you getting a personality transplant," I said sweetly. "Add another note for me to get a six pack of beer. Cause I'm going to have to stay drunk for the next fifteen days to survive this." I nodded in agreement, "perfect, cause I'll need you to be passed out in the pool house to be able to get through the next few days. Your obvious alcohol problem would make the perfect explanation for our eventual divorce."

Sia’s gaze darkened with understanding but there was a hint of bitterness in her voice when she asked, “And when he got injured, they just dropped him like he didn’t do anything for this great country?” The boy’s lips curved into a small smile while his blue eyes reflected both pride and sorrow. “You see, Miss Swift, my dad’s duty was to protect our country because he took the oath. When he became a soldier, he didn’t care about benefits or anything like that. He was a true patriot. He did what he felt was right. Even when he got injured, he didn’t mind. He did what he wanted, and he did it until he couldn’t anymore.” He stared at his father’s sleeping face through the glass and said, “The p

"You're a soldier, aren't you? Are you going home on leave? My son's five months old." Kyson was stunned for a moment. He asked in confusion, "How did you know I'm a soldier?"

Lucky for me, a soldier is sitting right across. I'll tell him when I get home." Her easy smile relaxed Kyson, and for the first time in a while, he smiled. "Your son's adorable. I have a son too…"

As I was getting ready to leave, I noticed Chris Bartlett, the newest hire, looking unwell. Chris had just turned 18 and hailed from the countryside. His grandpa was seriously ill and in urgent need of money. That was why he'd been pushing himself like a madman from the day he joined the team and insisted on staying late to make more calls, even after hitting his daily call quota. I helped him to the couch. Looking at him reminded me of my own son, and my heart ached as I gently patted his shoulder. "You've worked hard these past few days and made almost as many calls as I did. If you're not feeling well, you don't have to join us for dinner tonight."

They were trying to obtain updates on the renewal of their contracts earlier than usual due to the office being closed for the recent holiday. I felt a wave of relief wash over me as the day finally drew to a close. It meant I could unwind and enjoy some peaceful moments with Sarah for the rest of the night. I had been planning a special evening for us—taking her to a private dinner at a charming Italian restaurant that offers a stunning panoramic view of the entire city skyline. This idea was actually suggested by Rick, my Beta, who knew the place and thought it would be perfect for us. I quickly sent Sarah a message to let her know that I had just finished work and that I was now on my way
