Special Purpose (Financial). Dawn's version of the story went like this;As she was skiing, she suddenly saw me disappear through a hole in the ice. At first she could not believe her eyes. Her first impulse was to scream. After the initial panic, she went to the sled and dug the rope out of the pack. When she saw my head bob out of the water, she tried to throw the rope to me.It wasn't until after a number of tries, that she was finally able to get the rope to me. The whole time she concentrated on the task at hand. It. Shit, I didn't want to be close to that if somebody took a shot at me. One of my classes back at the training camp said that a musket ball could not hit the powder hard enough to set it off, though one of my bullets could do so if the range was short enough. Well, hell, I had just as soon not take that chance—there was always the possibility that the teacher was wrong about muskets.I had gotten passed the powder without drawing a bullet, and that made me breathe a little easier, but I wasn't. And Tandra kept her nose buried in her books deep enough to make the Dean’s list for four terms in a row. For me, she was another inspiration.The people in Architecture were always there to support Bill and me, and even Professor Jaffer backed off us for a couple of weeks, then came down hard as he pushed us to heights we’d never even knew existed before Cassie’s death. At the time, I thought he was a fucking asshole slave driver, but in his own way, he was an integral part of the healing.
