Today’s excerpt is from Billy’s
Rescue, Book #7 of the Asps Series.
Billy about to be picked up by the C-130 after escaping from the
terrorists and finding some friendly Army fellas. Enjoy and have a wonderful day.
m.j.
After ending the call—even though the others
had figured out Billy was alive by then—Bruce quickly filled in those with him,
before calling Wendy. “Wandering boy has
come up for air. He’s on his way to Kabul
“What!
Are all Marines crazy, or just the ones we’re involved with?”
“All of ‘em, Wendy. Anyhow, where are you on the fuel situation?”
“Got a full load…heading back to where we
were this morning.”
“Yeah, well, hold off. I’ve got the coordinates on Billy. Go see if you can spot him. He’s with some Army Special Forces guys.”
After Bruce gave the coordinates to Wendy,
along with the cell phone number of Bubba, she circled the plane around to head
in that direction. When she got there,
Phil immediately picked up the seven men on the infrared and soon had a
visual. Wendy could see them, too, as
Phil, using a telescope, laughed.
“They’re down there, drinking.”
Wendy laughed as she dialed the number she
had gotten from Bruce. When Staff
Sergeant Lawton answered, she asked, “Is this Bubba?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Great.
How about giving your phone to my Marine, who’s trying to get you guys
drunk.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Billy took the phone. After finding out it was Wendy he said, “Hi
there, General. How’s tricks?”
Bubba Lawton nearly passed out at the
mention of a General being on his phone who had mentioned their drinking—which
was totally forbidden in Afghanistan…or Pakistan—Special Forces or not.
“About ten miles west of you down the road,
below where you’re at, is a place wide enough and flat enough I should be able
to land. How about moseying your cute
little ass down there…ASAP!”
“Yes, ma’am.”
