Then one day a black SUV rolled onto the range, a Navy commander stepped out, locked eyes with me, and gave a quiet order: “Riley… Ghost Knife… Execute.” The silence that followed and the stunned looks around me said everything—but that moment wasn’t the beginning of the story, it was when they finally realized who they’d been laughing at.
