Charlie had been between tours, having just re upped for his second, and had picked up a few shifts as a EOD instructing assistant for Pena, and Al had introduced them, and they’d worked well together, enough that Al had laughed, said he wasn’t going to get jealous if Mac wanted to work with Charlie instead of an old man like him. All three of them had made a good team, even when Al had died, blown to pieces right in front of his eyes, for the longest time, Charlie had been his rock, had been the only thing keeping him afloat, until he’d met a loud mouth opinionated knuckledragger that had meshed with him as well as Charlie had.
