Chapter 14

“We’re fifteen minutes out,” Tejada informed Becks and Julian after they had finally finished stabilizing Cam. “I suggest you two grab an MRE now, as we’ll be shoving off again as soon as we offload the wounded and refuel.”

Neither of them realized just how famished they were until the mention of food. Becks resisted the impulse to ask Julian if was going to throw up his meal again, and just concentrated on wolfing down her own food. The MRE also brought back unpleasant memories of being stranded in New Jersey, but she had to keep pushing all of those fears aside, as what lay ahead was frightening enough.

Medical teams at West Point sprang into action the instant they touched the dock. Becks just had a couple of seconds to say goodbye to Cam, who squeezed her hand tightly and whispered, “Go and do what you do best. Kick ass, baby!”

Phil was on the dock—and stuck out like a sore thumb, as he was the only one with an umbrella. He had a bundle of papers for Becks, and thankfully, a change of dry clothes.

“Heard it was rough out there. You okay?” Phil asked with genuine concern as he took hold of her shoulder

“Been better,” she replied with a weak attempt at a smile. “Also been a lot worse.”

Phil followed Becks into the triage tent, where medical teams acted like a pit crew stripping off her clothes and attending to all of her wounds. This was indeed a race—a race of life or death—and they needed to patch up Becks and Julian ASAP and get them back on mission.

“We put together some notes, and a list of equipment and chemicals that would be helpful,” Phil said, standing behind a nurse who was stitching what looked like a bite wound in Becks’ leg. “It’s terrible that Pete can’t go with you. Just terrible. But we have video coms set up and he should be able to monitor what you’re looking at and let you know what to grab.”

“But who will be with me, just Julian? He’s less than useless in a fight,” Becks whispered, as Julian was just on the other side of the tent having his minor cuts bandaged and treated for infection.

“Well, that’s the thing,” Phil hemmed and hawed, avoiding eye contact. “They can give you the other Ranger, but all other available personnel are needed in New Jersey and Rockland, setting up defenses and trying to thin the herd. It’s bad down there. Really bad.”

Albany won’t be any vacation either, Becks thought to herself.

“There may be some locals at Albany who can help,” Phil added, but without much confidence.

The MRE and a fresh set of clothes were the best medicine for Becks, and she took the bundle of papers from Phil and headed back to the Defender. There on the deck, standing all alone in the rain, was Martha. Everyone had forgotten about her, which was the story of her life.

“Go in the tent, they’ll take care of you in there,” Becks said, actually feeling kind of sorry for the pathetic figure of a woman.
