The Marine’s Deadly Reunion
Character Bio’s
Let’s talk about my hero and heroine for The Marine’s Deadly Reunion. First, there’s US Marine Jake Fisher. He spent his early childhood in the Ozark Mountains romping around the neighborhood with his best friend, Daria Gordan. Being the older of the two (by only two months), he considered it his responsibility to watch out for her. She was kind of cute, too, with her long dark hair and brown eyes, so hanging out with her made him look important during those middle school years. He loved playing football. Claimed he’d go pro someday. It didn’t matter that his scrawny torso didn’t look the sporty type. He’s okay with babies, but moms are supposed to take care of them.
Second, there’s the dainty Daria Gordon. Hanging out with Jake, her best friend, during their middle school years, who never challenged her introverted personality. He did all the talking, well, most of it. She liked that about him. He was quick-witted and outspoken, something she wasn’t. It didn’t hurt that he was the best-looking boy in her class. Her dreams were to become a nurse and help people. She loves children, babysits for her brother’s family, and prays one day she’ll have a family of her own.
Jake’s dad’s job transfers the family to California, leaving Daria and Jake miles apart. As the years pass, Jake receives a football scholarship, but feels the tug to join the Marines and serve his country. He had one girlfriend in high school and thought she was the one. However, after being sent to Afghanistan, he receives a letter he hadn’t expected. She no longer loves him and wants to move on with her life. He tosses the letter aside and focuses on his position as a marine.
Daria doesn’t know what to do without Jake around. She’s not interested in any of the guys in high school. Becoming a nurse is her dream, but after clinicals in the hospital and witnessing violent crime wounds, she changed her career and became a police officer. Maybe she can help stop crimes before they happen. During her off time, she dates a few guys, including a fellow officer and somehow, none of them keeps her interest.
She finds herself with a bit of a temper and gets into trouble at work. Her boss sends her to anger management classes and threatens to assign her to desk duty if she can’t keep it under control. After sixteen years, thoughts of Jake have faded.
Jake is sent home from active duty. His sister is killed in an accident and he gains full custody of his eight-month-old niece, Emma. Upon his return, he’s certain someone murdered his sister and is after Emma. He has a scuffle in a parking lot with a man trying to kidnap Emma. He pulls a gun about the time the man runs away, and a squad car pulls up.
Who would have dreamed petite and shy Daria Gordon would still be in town, turn into a beautiful lady, and become a cop? But then, who would believe the scrawny Jake from middle school would grow tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular physique. The two butt heads as a power play between them occurs while trying to stay alive and keep Emma safe.
