Caleb’s shoulder throbbed in the joint above his arm where a man almost as tall as Zedediah, though much less flabby, had tugged at when dragging him across the ground. New pain allowed him to break through the tingling fuzziness filling his head and focus a little more.

“You are safer here, away from the heat.”

Cooler air further from their trailer did taste better in his mouth. The aching burn in his lungs lessened. He took some time to think about everything. Sounds, pain, fire, running, it all had to add up to something.

Without sitting up he tried to examine his rescuers. The tall one who’d dragged him stood tall with a soldier’s posture. The woman with such a severe face had spoken with a foreign accent. He didn’t trust her. She appeared to be directing Zedediah’s medical care. The last guy might be one of them: an ex-athlete, a little extra flab in the middle, maybe a little too close to his Irish ancestry; probably his family’s been around America long enough to know the score. One thing about the man bothered him, he wore a holstered gun around his waist.

The tall one asked him a question. “What happened here?”

“Uhhh . . .” Caleb started to answer. He stopped as the other two started dragging Zedediah toward him.
