No sooner had they survived a night with Alaska than it was back to business as usual. The latest drug group being held was in the mental health clinic of the 935th KO near Saigon. It was basically a mirror image of the one 275 miles north in Nha Trang at Camp McDermott—the same metal desks on a concrete slab floor, walls made out of fly screen with green sand bags half way up the walls. The same metal roof on which the rain poured down. The same circle of chairs surrounding Izzy and Gregg, with the same looking GIs in various degrees of deterioration.

Izzy glanced around the latest group and knew how enormously lucky he and Gregg were to be here instead of dead on a beach or burned alive in a chopper. Still, he tried not to feel as despondent as these guys looked. When they were alone, Gregg was struggling to keep desperation at bay himself. Not that anyone else would ever guess it from the way he did his thing, and kept doing his thing, group after group after group—getting the guys comfortable until they opened up. Then JD completely fooling them all again with a different disguised “druggie” look. Then hooking up afterwards with the other hardcore “druggies” in search of the ever elusive contact that would lead them up the food chain to the river pirates who had kidnapped Kate.

If that was the real story. The longer this went on, the more obvious it became there was a lot more at work here than the bang, bang, bang and boom, boom, boom JD had initially spelled out. As far as Izzy could tell, other than offering the equivalent of a Band-Aid to the mostly strung-out GI’s in need of rehab triage, they weren’t any further ahead than when they started their search for Kate.

As usual, he and Gregg hung around and talked privately with a few of the guys, making sure those seeking help would be set up with additional counseling once they left. They hadn’t taken off on their own for any sightseeing excursions since My Tho, but this close to Saigon, it was awfully tempting.

“Excellent work, Dr. Kelly,” Izzy told him once they were back in their latest assigned bunk room, this one upgraded to something better than the regular. They actually had a private shower. Two beds, on which they sat across from each other now, with just enough space between them for a little refrigerator against the wall. It had been filled with cold Pepsi. Izzy tapped his bottle to Gregg’s.

“Thanks, Iz. And nice of JD to come through on the Holiday Inn.” He swung a bottle-wielding hand to encompass their modest quarters, luxurious in comparison to most of the others they had bunked in, while even those were pure five star compared to what the grunts sloughing through rice paddies and jungle terrain had for rest and shelter.

“He came through on something else, too.” Izzy pulled out the stack of letters from Margie that JD had slipped to him earlier.
