The Finisher
Description
Tommy Morris was medically discharged from the US Air Force after numerous tours in the Middle East as a decorated Pararescueman turned sniper. Overcome by nightmares and PTSD, he seeks counseling, and on his road to recovery, he takes a clandestine job as a finisher for the Harris County DA's office. The adrenaline and fantastic money lead him directly into the dark folds of Houston's human trafficking. Tommy Nguyen Morris was raised in a deeply structured Catholic home for boys, hating every minute of it, and as soon as he was able to leave, he joined the air force. Rising rapidly through the ranks, he was commissioned as an officer and completed the three-year program to become a pararescue officer, and due to his exemplary marksmanship, he earned the coveted sniper badge. Born of a Green Beret Special Forces black father and a half-Caucasian / half-Vietnamese mother, both of whom died when he was very young, Tommy was often mistaken in regard to his race. He has a long, muscled, and much-bullet-scarred torso, and with his naturally peculiar looks, he attracts attention from women wherever he goes. Seeking help to deal with his nightmares from Iraq and Afghanistan, he enlists the help of the Veteran's Administration and is assigned a retired female army colonel who ultimately becomes his lover. In the interest of mending his broken mind, she suggests he find employment with an old friend of hers who is the district attorney for Harris County, Texas, and also, an ex-Special Forces soldier. The money is very attractive to the ex-Pararescue captain, and the mission he is offered, is taking the fight to the human traffickers who operate with near impunity. Each completed mission reaps incredible sums of dirty tax-free money, and being briefed about his targets makes killing them almost a public service. The trouble with operating outside of the law is the distinction between right and wrong becomes blurred. It is an almost near-perfect life for Tommy. Almost.
