Before bestowing the award, though, I should give you some background. Kelly is only nineteen years old. Until a few days ago, she didn’t have a hig...-school diploma. Nevertheless, she won the war with her bravery and with her brains.“It seems she was reading Soviet armored doctrine ... in the original Russian. It was never translated into English. She listened in to the Russian command post where the general commanding the reserve forces at our point of attack was located. Kelly waited for him. "How long you been working tonight, Brynn?" Since three."Angel looked over to Riggs, who checked his watch with a surprised expression. "It's just past one."Angel turned back to Brynn, "you've been on your feet nine hours, sit for a while." It was slow for a while, and we're short a dancer."Angel nodded, "you been working the floor too?"Brynn nodded."How old are you?" I'll be eighteen next month."Angel's jaw tensed. She hated the fact that Rich was recruiting underage girls. But she had no say. I didnt really want to, but I was being paid, so I thought I might as well. Her husband had left her a couple of years before, and she did her best bringing the two kids up on her own. She didnt often go out. The kids were Zoe, who was 12, and really loud, and her brother Mike, who was 13 and quiet. I was told that they had to be in bed for half ten, which I was glad of because I didnt really like them that much. Once they were out of the way, I had some new porn mags my mate had swapped with. Her face was impassive. She said, “I’m sorry, too. You made a promise and thought too little of me and my brains or emotional stability to let me in. I’m over it. All I can say now is that I accept your apology. Good bye, Matt.” She slowly walked out of the room toward her bedroom. Karen went with her.Matt and I looked at each other. Matt said, “Is there anything I can do to fix things with Q?”“No, Matt. You have dug this hole with someone else in mind as your priority. I hope they were worth.
