A sudden gasp was heard and then screams of horror when a group of girls had discovered the blue, frozen man in the snow.

A Navy SEAL Commander walked into Kevin’s room and sat down next to him. Kevin did not realise as he was still drowsy but this was his old Commander, Commander Nathaniel O’Neil. The Commander expressed his sorrow and disappointment in the people who committed the crime. Kevin...
