Former marine Johnny Duane Reed fell hard for Crystal. Marrying her was the smartest thing he ever did. Bringing her along on a mission to take down members of a drug cartel in Guatemala, the dumbest. Now his life is slipping away through an AK47 wound in his shoulder. “If you die on me, so help me, I’ll make you sorry you were ever born,” Crystal tells him.
