Parker led the way. He kept a decent grip on Samson’s leash but had no fear he’d take off. Parker was more afraid somebody would come and jerk the dog from his hand. And he had no reason for wondering that except the dog had already gone missing once, and Parker didn’t want Samson to go missing a second time, not on his watch.

Holding an equally tight grip on his arm was Sandy as she walked at his side. “Are we still being followed?”

“I doubt we’ll shake the security as long as we’re on the base. It’s not worth them getting into trouble over.”

She chuckled at that. “I guess in a place like this everybody has a duty, and everybody needs to keep the huge machine rolling.”

“Exactly. You know how this works.” He nudged her arm toward the buildings ahead. “Do you recognize which one it was?”

Her footsteps slowed as she contemplated the barracks in front of them. “I think it was the last one,” she said. “When I came rushing back out, I didn’t see much, just more barracks.”

He nodded. “We should do a quick search of them all.”

With her still gripping his arm, he opened the door, stepped into the first one, did a quick check and stepped out. They went through the next three.

At the fifth one, Parker stepped in, Sandy at his side. She noticed something sticking out from under a cot, and she bent down. She pulled out her purse. Her cry of delight warmed his heart.

She pulled out her passport, then wallet. Checked inside. “Everything is still here, even the picture of my brother and all my cash,” she said with a big smile. She slung her purse strap over her head to rest against her body.

“What about the rest of our bags?” He crouched, twisted his head down and looked under the cots. “No sign of them.”

“Let’s keep looking,” she said. “If we never get anything else back, I’m totally okay with this.”

He understood how she felt. These were his sentiments exactly. The picture of her brother, her passport, IDs, wallet, all of that was much more important. She clutched the purse to the front of her body. “Good,” he said. “Hang on to that.”

She gave him the briefest of smiles. “Don’t worry. I intend to. I’m hanging on to you, and I’m hanging on to my purse.” Then she laughed. “And you’re hanging on to me, and you’re hanging on to Samson. We are quite the trio.”

“And let’s hope that we are completely overreacting,” he murmured. As they stood outside the building where they found her purse, he looked around. “What do you want to do now?”

“More empty barracks are here. What do you think?”

He nodded. “As long as they’re empty, we can do a quick check.”

They proceeded to check nine more empty barracks, and, when they came to one that actually had a voice on the other side, at Parker’s knock, the voice stopped.

Parker said, “We’re looking for two missing bags. Any sign of them in there?”

A tousled head popped out, looking like he had just woken up.
