The Characters from When the Mission Ends Trilogy…
Jake & Cassie are the hero/heroine of Operation: Endgame,
book #1 in the trilogy.
At the beginning of book one, we meet the Three Musketeers:
twins, Chris & Cassie and their best friend, Jake. Brought together by a
love of the military and playing at being soldiers, these friends have a
life-long friendship, but that is tested when Chris’s jet is shot down and he
is killed. Chris’s death has a lasting effect on the entire cast of characters throughout
the entire series.
So let’s meet the characters from the series:
Chris- Chris’s jet was shot down over Columbia. He was
injured, but alive after the crash. Unfortunately he was captured and tortured
for 18 hours before he died. (twin to Cassie, brother to Colton) Physically:
6’0”, dirty blond hair, when off-duty had a bit of scruff, lean muscular build, blue eyes.
Cassie- She’s a military history professor at Texas Tech
University. A year before the book, Operation: Endgame takes place, she acted as
a consultant on a videogame called Endgame. She had a cameo appearance on the
video and now appears to have a stalker because of that. (twin to Chris, sister
to Colton) Physically: 5’8”, long red
hair, runner’s build, blue eyes
Jake- Jake is a PJ (pararescue jumper) in the Air Force.
Unbeknownst to Cassie (because of operation security), he was part of the PJ
team sent in to recover Chris. When weather moved in, their rescue was delayed
and Chris subsequently died. To say Jake feels guilty is putting it mildly, but
when he gives into his grief and passion after the funeral with Cassie, it
sends him into a downward spiral. But now he has to move past that to help keep
Cassie safe from her stalker.
Physically: 6’1”, fit and tan, blond with military cut and green eyes.
Colton- Chris and Cassie’s older brother. When their parents
died in a plane crash, he was 10 years old and they were 6 years old. They went
to live with their single elderly grandfather who they’d never met before. As a
result, Colton became more like a father to the twins than older brother. He’s
bossy and overbearing, but he’s just trying to take care of his loved ones. Physically: 6’3”, extremely muscular, dark
hair, navy blue eyes
Penelope- Cassie’s friend. Penelope owns the local bookstore
and is a yoga instructor on campus. She’s a free-spirit and is always the life
of the party. Physically: 5’9”, long wavy blonde hair, jade green eyes
Julie- Cassie’s other friend and the complete opposite of
Penelope. She has a bit of OCD…she’s the list-maker of the group. She is a
physical therapist and teaches Krav Maga, as a form of women’s self-defense.
Physically: 5’3”, very petite, but well-endowed, dark hair cut into pixie cut,
hazel with gold flecks eyes.
Operation: Endgame by Christi Snow
Cassie had taken a handful of cocktail dresses into the
dressing room with her. She came out in one of them now and twirled in front of
him. He felt like he’d swallowed his tongue. After she finished twirling, she
stood with her back to him, looking at herself in the mirror. She tilted her
head to the side and said, “What do you think? Too much?”
Too much? Was she insane? There was no dress there. It was
black, sparkly, and clung to her every curve. From the front, it seemed rather
sedate with long black sleeves and a high neckline. At least, that was the case
if you didn’t look down to the miniscule length of the skirt that showed off
the miles of her long toned legs. But when she turned around, the back was
nonexistent. There was nothing there besides miles of skin from the top of her
spine all the way to the top of her ass. Four draped strands of thin
rhinestones stretched across the top expanse of the milky skin of her back, but
with a simple little flick of the wrist, the entire dress could be dropped in
half a second. His fingers itched with
the desire to do just that, but he clenched his hand into a fist to keep from
reaching towards her.
He didn’t realize he was sitting there staring, until Cassie
spoke. “Okay, you’re going to have to give me a hint here. Does the mouth
hanging open mean you like it? Or does it look so hideous you just don’t know
what to say?”
Jake snapped his jaw shut and cleared his throat. “No,
hideous is not the word I was thinking, but do you honestly think you need to
show that much skin?” He scowled at her, thinking about all the guys drooling
over her at this party.
At that moment another customer walked up who had been
surreptitiously observing them while she shopped. “Girl, don’t listen to him.
You look gorgeous! Your boyfriend just doesn’t want to deal with any
competition.”
Jake flushed in embarrassment, but Cassie didn’t even
notice. “Oh, he’s not my boyfriend….just a friend, actually more like a brother
than anything.”
He sure wasn’t having
any brotherly thoughts about her right now.
