“SHOULD I DUCK?” Bruce asked, stepping out of their bathroom/locker room with wet hair and in clean combat utilities.

Mitzi looked up from the paper in her hand. “You need to see this.”

Keith’s name was on the ASVAB list.

Which meant he’d taken the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. Army was listed as the branch of service for which he’d tested, but the test was good for all branches. Mike was listed as the recruiter.

“It doesn’t mean anything,” she said. “Other than he took the test. He’s not committed to any one branch of the service at this point. Or at all.”

Unless it was already too late.

Ninety-six out of a hundred was a hell of a good score. Too good for a ground pounder. Right now Bruce just wanted to punch something. Or someone.

“Bruce,” Mitzi warned as he headed next door. She hurried to keep up with him.

“Mike, what the—” He cut himself off when he saw there were kids present. “Can I speak with you?”

“Sure.” Mike had the nerve to look as if he didn’t know what this was about. Bruce led the way to the back lot.

“You tested my kid brother?”

Mitzi put herself between them.

“Look, Calhoun, before you go throwing that first punch, I tested all the JROTC kids. They get extra credit for it. I haven’t even spoken to him yet. Not that I’m not going to,” Mike said straight up.

Every recruiter in the district would be calling that list.

Some of them as slick as used car salesmen. Now they all had his brother’s information.

And they knew he was interested and he wasn’t just another cold call.

“Are we cool?” Mike asked.

“No, we’re not cool,” Bruce snapped.

Mike exchanged looks with Mitzi before returning inside. Bruce turned toward their own back door and went to sit on the fire stairs. He put his head in his hands.

“He didn’t do anything wrong,” she said.

He didn’t know if she was talking about Mike or Keith at this point. In either case she was right. “I know.”

“You need to talk to Keith before someone else does.”

He knew that, too.
