“We aren’t home yet,” Major Paul Darling reminds his team at the end of a sixteen-hour day. “Two more miles and we are done. We have pissed off a lot of Taliban today, and they are going to want payback.” Shortly, the major will find himself sitting on a concrete basketball court next to the bunker where the day started so long ago, talking by satellite phone to his wife on the other side of the world. When she asks, “What happened?” there is too much to say. But one day, he promises himself, he will put into words what it was like—one day in the life of a combat soldier in Afghanistan in 2009.

It appears to me that crime, like time, is continual. The reason I say this is that God has made my brain is such a way that when a crime is committed within the grasp of myself I suffer an enormous head pain until it is completed or stopped. I seemed to have pain so much here lately is why I feel that crime is on the upturn. This has been going all my life with my brain acting like this. There has been times when I suffered pain and it turned out to be crimes where people were killed but there was not enough evidence available in my vision to identify the perpetrators. This information came from the sheriff later and I presumed it was true. DNA and other methods he said were used to come up with the one who committed the crime. Many have not been apprehended so I had it in my mind that I would try to use that mystic part of my brain to capture them or at least locate them.
