He found Ford in one of the crew rooms occupied by other female Black Tiders. It was Rose who went inside, woke up the pilot, and brought her out into the hallway of the warship for him.

Ford was half-asleep, but even so, towered over the smaller Rose when they stood side by side. “What’s up?”

“Can you fly a chopper?” Keo asked. He kept his voice low, even though he didn’t really have to. He could hear just about everything happening on the ship, including the snoring coming from the quarters room behind the two women. He would know instantly if anyone came within hearing distance of them.

“Sure,” Ford said. “I’m better in a Hog, but I can swing a chopper. Why?”

“What if I can get you one? A chopper. Can you take me to the island?”

“Which island?”

“The island?”

“Oh. Right.” She nodded without hesitation. “With enough fuel, I don’t see why not?” Ford looked from Keo to Rose, then back again. “What’s this about?”

“There’s a New American base not far from here,” Rose said. “It’s got three choppers parked inside it.”

“No shit?”

“No shit.”

“How come this is the first I’ve heard about this?”

“You’re not the only one,” Keo said. Then, “Get as much sleep as you can. We’ll leave in the early morning.”

“Roger that.”

Ford went back into the room, leaving Keo and Rose in the hallway alone.

“What about Mathis?” Rose asked.

“I’ll handle him.”

“How?”

“Gently.”

“Gently how?”

“Very gently.”
