Because of the previous early night, we had a light practice working on a couple of plays for the coming Saturday game. When we went out on the court,...one of the cheerleader megaphones had been wrapped with black construction paper and was sitting at one of the right corners of the court. White cut out letters spelling “Dunce” was pasted on the side. My face was red but one tall cheerleader came over to me and wrapped her arms around me and gave me a big smooch, causing all the guys to hoot and. She was wearing an uneasy expression on her face and was in quiet hurry. I still didn’t ask her any questions and followed her quietly. We entered another room and mom switched on the light and fans. She turned around and looked at me but said nothing.I knew why we were here, I knew why she woke me up and brought me at this hour of the night but this was not how we did it. We always played it safe. We made sure nobody would suspect us. But this was very dangerous and there were high chances we. The Gunnery Sergeant that ran the armory invited me to join him on an expedition to the “White Elephant” for some booze and music provided by an Elvis impersonator and some Korean girls that looked Vietnamese to me but I really was not expert enough to make that distinction. The Elvis impersonator was pretty good but his accent ruined some of the best lines in the songs and the Korean girls were giggling so much I don’t think I ever heard a single song.I saw a couple of obvious Marines wearing. I opened the door and examined the lock. It looked strong enough to stop a charging rhino.I went into the darkroom straight away and started working on the negatives. After all that had happened, I was worried that they might not come out, like maybe I had misloaded the film while hastily loading it on the beach. But they were fine. Out of ten shots, six were decent. I made three sets of 4 by 6 prints: one for me, one for Tina Callahan, and one for Claire, since she would be assuming that I had.
