Chapter 753
- Ben smiled. "He's been very supportive. Some idiots in Russia tried to kidnap me and put my family in danger. Once I got home, I built the Spa, and the General rotates teams of soldiers, SEAL teams, and Special forces through it to protect my neighborhood. In return, I work on engineering issues for the Army."
- "I've heard of the Spa!" one of the Lieutenant Commanders exclaimed. "Lieutenant Ashton's SEAL Platoon Five spent some time there, and he gave me the details. It's a state-of-the-art base but very posh!" He frowned. "Is it true you have a tower built onto your house that they used to zipline into a forest?"
- Ben nodded. "Yes. I built the tower on the back of my home to contain a multilevel children's play zone for the kids from a neighborhood daycare to use in bad weather. I built a party deck on top for treetop-level relaxing. The SEAL team used it to do nighttime zipline drills into the forest. Just before I was abducted by the CIA, a special forces team used a zipline from there to take out a team of gunmen sneaking through the forest to attack my neighborhood. I'm very grateful to them! They also wore my new body armor over their usual armor, and it proved its effectiveness."
