Special Agent Heimbach

We met again this time the salvation army on Lake Michigan the four children and I with child were homeless after a horrid experience when all of a sudden standing before me the German man seeking my help investigating the ultimate betrayal I suppose corruption the war on weapons drugs at it's complete finest my job consisted of wearing wires connected to my womb with an odd attachment that was placed in my pockets I entered the dwellings and purchased weapons drugs ammunition I wondered if the agents could hear the baby heart beat rather they could actually tell the difference between mine and the fetus my hands were sweating as we approached the unseemly hostage situations I felt as if we were a family special agent Heimbach supervised the operation before leaving taking my children to the beach singing as if this day was of sheer peace odd notions arose beneath a sullen sphere of fight flight I simply swallowed fear unable to breathe until 20 years later imagine that on my government job on an Airforce base time shattered into I was back there panting shaking eyes wide concerned troops gathered asking my unit my division was I special opt Delta force Charlie company was I from desert storm which war did I serve I was just a mom standing before me medic embracing me come back mother come back holding my chest heart pounding like thunder slowly responding with great wonder and toil this war on weapons drugs on American soil
