In the carriage I fix Buddy’s bandage and rub the back of Thor’s head. “Good boy,” I say. Serena stares at me for fifty meters or so as we resume our trip to Adams. Finally she says, “I guess I should thank you.”

“If you’d like,” I say.

“But you could have warned me. I could have helped.”

“I didn’t have time,” I say. “And forgive me for saying this, Specialist, I don’t think I needed your help.”

That’s good for a score of meters or so, and she says, “Last winter, back at Jackson Labs, a scheduled convoy of potato trucks from Aroostook County never showed up in Bangor. There were food riots. The cops and state police couldn’t control it. Then they were rumors that food was being stored at warehouses at the labs. The mob was coming through the main gate. We were all given weapons. I shot at least two, maybe three trying to come over the fence. Two men and a girl about my age.”

I keep quiet. All I hear are the clop-clop of the horse’s hooves on the cracked pavement. She says, “So I know how and when to fight. I’m a soldier, Sergeant, don’t forget it.”

“I won’t.”

Then she seems to relax. “You can also stop staring at my legs.”

“Not sure if I can do that.”
