As the leader of a covert operations team, Jon's supervisor's called him one o the best. Over time, the screams of agony, the mangled bodies, and the stench of death took their toll-he had to get out. He retreated to commercial fishing, seeking mental cleansing in the vast ocean's solitude. Three quiet years and his past returned to haunt him.
