When Jim
reached the area where Holly, Jessica, and Janet were chatting with the rescued
women, he hugged Holly. Then, as he
gently patted her behind, he grinned. “I
guess you’re about ready to go. Suzan is
staying, so if you were saving a seat for her, let someone else go.”
Holly
nodded. “Okay, gals, let’s go.”
Sarah
Jane stepped forward. “Uh, I’d like a
minute with Suzan, and a minute or so to say goodbye to one of those jerks in
the cages.”
Jim
nodded. “Okay. Suzan, will you relieve Hector watching the
prisoners and tell him he’s about to leave?”
Suzan
nodded and headed for the barn-like structure holding the cells.
Sarah
Jane fell in alongside her and, as they walked, she glanced at her new
friend. “Suzan, I graduate from college
in June…3.7 grade average. Do you think
I could get into the Marines?”
Suzan
looked at her and realized she was serious.
“Sure. I think you could cut it,
too. What about your father? Won’t he have a fit?”
“It’ll
do him good. Ha, I’d like to see him
doing an anti-war thing while I’m in the Marines.”
“Good
enough. I’ll help make sure you get a
commission. With your grade-point
average, that’ll be no problem. Jim
could assist in that area as well. Have
Holly give him a call once you’re on your way and she can ask him for
details. And if I had anything to do
with this decision, I want you to know how proud you make me feel.”
“You
had everything to do with it. I want to
be just like you, or at least try.”
“Thanks. I mean, really, thanks.”
When
they reached the cells, Suzan looked at Hector.
“Jim says to head for the plane.
You’re about to leave. I’m to
take over in here.”
Hector
nodded and stood up, putting away the silenced Walther. As he did, Sarah Jane asked, “Could I borrow
that for a second?”
“What,
my gun?”
“Yes,
sir.”
Hector
looked at Suzan, who shrugged, then shrugged himself and handed the gun to
Sarah Jane. She took it and walked to
the cage holding Ibn Ahmad. She pointed
it at him and Hector coughed. “Uh, if
you’re planning on using that, you have to release the safety.”
Suzan
took the gun from Sarah Jane, released the safety and handed it back. “You sure you really want to do what I think
you’re about to do?”
“Yes. Will I get in trouble if they have one less
prisoner?”
Hector,
from behind the two women muttered, “Nah.”
Ahmad
was standing, looking boldly at Sarah Jane, almost daring her to do her
damnedest.
She
aimed the gun at a point between his legs and fired. Ahmad screamed in pain, and Sarah Jane
demurely handed Hector his gun. “Thank
you.”
Suzan smiled
broadly as she watched them walk off, then she turned to Ahmad. “I hope you bleed to death. It’ll be fun dragging your ball-less body out
to rot.”
