“Let’s get moving.” Ben stamped his feet, trying to dislodge the clinging mud. “If at all possible.”

It wasn’t much of a town, but most of the buildings were still standing and the doctors quickly set up shop and began working on the wounded … Rebel wounded first, then the enemy. That was a Rebel rule, adhered to hard and fast, without exception.

The Rebels played by no rules other than their own. They were bound by no convention or treaty. Just another reason why so many around the world, who had studied the Rebels, did not want to tangle with them.

Ben stuck his head inside a small house and almost burst out laughing. Marilyn Dickson and Paula Preston were sitting on the bare floor in a side room, out of sight of the male reporters, who were behind the house, naked, soaping as they stood in the rain. Both of the women were covered head to feet with mud.

“Enjoying the trip, ladies?” Ben asked.

Marilyn solemnly lifted her right hand and gave him die finger.

Ben laughed at her and walked on.

“Hoity-toity bitch is human after all,” Jersey remarked.

“I think she is, Jersey.”

Ben turned into the building Lamar Chase had set up for a hospital. Lamar looked up from his inspection of a case of some sort of medicines, carefully packed against breakage. “We lost one of our people, Ben. The other four will make it. But we’re going to have to hole up here for a couple of days.”

“Suits me, Lamar. How about the prisoners?”

“A couple of them will make it. The others died.”

“Other than their wounds, what about their physical condition?”

“They’re very malnourished. I don’t know what they’ve been living on, but it hasn’t been very nutritious.”
