A stiff blow to the kidney â the only one Iâve got â turns my legs to jelly.
Rumi winces.
Indifferent Bastard waits for me to catch my breath. âYouâre a Loyalist, yes?â
On my knees, I shake my head, my lips dry and salty. âLoyalists donât carry Colt 1911s. But you already knew that. Same way you know that only Humayun supplies 1911s in Pakistan.â
Indifferent Bastard displays emotion: the slightest twitch in his chin. âWhat are you implying?â
âThat I work for Humayun. And if I work for him, then that means I work for the army.â
âNonsense.â
âMakes you think, doesnât it, boys?â
âThis is ridiculous.â
âYou.â I turn to Nervous Bastard, whoâs been looking out the window this whole time. âSeen any military jeeps patrolling the area?â
They all turn to him. Nervous Bastard doesnât look at them.
âRumi?â I turn to the boy. âThe radio still silent?â
He nods reluctantly.
I laugh. âThis is a fall, boys. Humayun set me up the same way Evergreen set you up.â
18-Wheeler digs the rifle into my cheek. âWe should just kill him, sir.â
âI agree,â Nervous Bastard intones.
Rotund Bastard and Dumb Bastard seem hesitant.
Indifferent Bastard doesnât twitch.
Prodding your brain, arenât I?
âCome on.â 18-Wheeler jabs the .303 deeper in my face. âWhy would Colonel Evergreen do that to us? And for whom? Humayun?â
