He was always early. He had taken her with his team several times now, teaching her to fire a series of increasingly powerful arms. She began with a pistol and an AK-47, and worked her way up to an M16 and the Heckler & Koch G3 7.62 mm, with a recoil so powerful she had to fire it lying on her belly. In spite of her pacifist nature, Miranda went to the range because Tucker had asked her and she was grateful. In the first year, few people from the embassy had asked her to do so much as have a cup of tea. Tucker was different. True, it was his job to protect her and Finn. But it wasn’t his job to befriend and entertain her. This was something he did of his own free will, and Miranda loved him for it. She would have loved him anyway, for the simple fact that he kept Finn safe from harm. Both he and his wife, Paige, had spent their entire careers in the armed forces, managing to spend only about half of their time in the same country. At the moment, Paige was in Iraq, and Tucker worked tirelessly so as not to feel her absence so acutely.
