Chapter 17
The same pose Sarge always adopted. Hands behind his back and a deep scowl on his weathered face. He marched a few steps out into the city like one of Reubenâs old wind-up toys and waited while Danko led his team back from another shift. âYou look like youâve had another encounter.â His mouth twitched towards a smile. âAnother diseased?â
Reubenâs heart beat harder when Danko didnât reply. No one ignored Sarge.
âHe was amazing, Sarge.â
Fixing on Hicks, Sarge looked from Danko to her and back to Danko as if weighing up his options. Did he let Danko get away with such blatant disrespect?
âI think heâs just recovering, sir. Finding his way again after going to town on one of Fearâs soldiers. He sent them a message. It was a good job, but, I must say, it was also a lot for one person to endure. On both sides, Danko and his victim.â
âAnd â¦â Sargeâs predatory gaze narrowed on Danko. Did he let it slide? Back to Hicks, a slight loosening of his taut frame. âDid you leave a flag?â
âYes, sir.â Hicks nodded. âHe used mine. Damn near choked the bitch on it and then left it with her mutilated corpse. No room for ambiguity when Fear find her.â
Mirth ironed out the wrinkles on Sargeâs face. âThatâs what I like to hear.â
Reubenâs stomach churned. Maybe Sarge only backed up Dankoâs actions because he hadnât witnessed them. Would he have encouraged what had happened had he been there? Could he have stood by? Had he done far worse himself when he went outside the city?
âSo what happened?â Sarge said. âGive me the details.â
Like Sarge, Hicks had come alive because of Dankoâs actions. âThe enemy was trying to get away. She fell into one of our pits. By the time weâd reached her, sheâd almost climbed all the way out. So Danko made a proper example of her. We only hope that Fear find her before the scavengers.â
âDid she put up a fight?â
Hicks shook her head. âWe didnât give her a chance.â
âGood.â
âShe was just a kid,â Reuben said. Groves gasped and Hicks turned on him, snapping around so fast he barely saw her move. But screw her. He had to say this. âThe soldier canât have been any older than fourteen. At the most. She stood no chance against a fully grown man like Danko. He pinned her down and slowly cut her to shreds. There was no honour in what just happened.â
Sarge knocked Groves aside as he made a beeline for Reuben. âAre you saying we should have gone easy on her? Let her live?
Malcolmâs words rang through his head. Donât lose track of who he is. Easier said than done when staring down the barrels of Sargeâs fury. A shake of his head, Reuben said, âNo. Not at all.â He lowered his gaze and twisted away from their enraged leader. His sodden uniform clung to him. âIâm just questioning the choice to cut her to shreds.â His voice wobbled. âWe were always going to kill her.
