My brain went on like this, ignoring the feeling to bolt. Refusing to tally facts over fantasy. The beer went down as I sat there. My erection now gon..., I had to pee. Heading for the bathroom I could hear her talking to Tommy, “Do you like John?” I felt a quiver. On my way back from the bathroom I noticed Tommy's room was dark and the master bedroom light was on, the door ajar. I peeked in and saw Debbie combing her hair in the mirror. She had changed into a long t-shirt which just covered her. The Air Force wasn't giving ANY details yet. They admitted there'd been a disaster there - the explosions had been heard for miles around, with flames and smoke clearly visible, so denying it was a disaster was pointless - but the isolation of the base had allowed the Air Force to deny the press any access. So far they were even refusing to say whether the Guardian Angel had been involved. There was no word about missing nukes and I was sure the Air Force didn't know about that little aspect. The Kid's slug caught him right between the eyes and he disappeared in a shower of blood that rose up into the dusty summer air. The young married couple were hugging each other like the honeymoon had just started and she heard the boom of the guard's shotgun at the same time two of the Indian's horses fell forward like they had run into a trip wire.The other Indians swung off and kept pace with them at a distance infuriated at their losses and itching to take some scalps before the sun went. "Oh, thank you so much, Carl. What should I do now?" Well, let's just let your car run for a few minutes," I said, disconnecting the cables, "and let the battery get charged up. Then you go over to The Battery Shop on Crescent Drive and they'll tell you quick enough if you need a new one." Oh thank you Carl," she said, taking my hand and holding it. She looked up at me and all of a sudden, I could see that look that I saw in Bonnie and Karen's eyes. I suddenly felt kind of funny, but not bad if.
