Jake is a SWAT team sniper. Jake so far has seventeen kills. Jake is married to Jill who was an EMT until she injured her leg and can longer perform her duties. They both seem to have a very happy life. They do not keep secrets from each other. Jill is the one who helps him talk out the day's happenings after a kill.
Because Jill can no longer work as an EMT, she changes her career and has become a published author as well as teaching a writing class for a college. One of her students--Susan--has become a very good writer and Jill is a little jealous. Jill's family does not like the fact that Jake can't make it to a lot of family affairs as he is on call 24/7. They are always picking on Jake and this just makes Jill hurt more.
The two authors Grant Jerkins and Jan Thomas write a story that really has me thinking. One of the points that they bring up in the story is whether you would feel the same if the hostage was one of your family or close friend. This really got me to thinking about what the SWAT team has to go though. The other point in this story that I also had a hard time really thinking about is are these guys taking out criminals or are they just murderers.
What a compelling story. I can't imaging what goes though these SWAT team's heads when they are called out. The same goes for the service men and women that also have to deal with similar situations. I would like to find out the story after the end of DONE IN ONE. Did Jake give up his career; is his marriage still as strong as ever? Great read!
