Micky walked Mathias back to the stall then called out for Athos. Athos smiled when he saw Sam. Micky plucked Sam from the saddle and handed him to Athos. The two of them had something in common. Sam had a bit of a speech problem. He went to speech therapy but still, he was sometimes hard to understand. Athos was still struggling a bit with English, so it could be difficult to figure out what either one of them was saying. However, they understood each other just fine. Micky put Mathias in the stall and gave him an apple. After hugging his neck, he walked out, shut the stall then turned to Athos and said, “I need to go look for something in the barn. I’ll be back.”

Athos nodded and took Sam up the steps to the porch where he had more toys than he could play with. Micky walked back to the barn and circled behind it. He stopped when he heard the voices. Leon was angry. “Goddammit, Jack, you’re sixty-four years old. You ain’t a SEAL no more. Let Gene handle it.”

In a cold monotone Jack responded, “I’ll always be a SEAL. If you don’t want to help me, just say so.”

“You know I’ll help ya, you know I will. I haven’t forgotten what you did for Amy.” How could he forget? He occasionally had nightmares about that night, including the screams when Jack poured gasoline on the tied up bodies of the people who attacked Amy, then lit the match.

Jack nodded. “We get old, we get soft. I know. But that doesn’t mean we don’t handle our business.”

“Alright, whatcha got planned.”

Jack studied his best friend for a moment. It was clear his heart wasn’t in it. But he needed his help. “Would it make any difference if I told you I’m not gonna kill him?”

Leon looked shocked. “Yes, no, I mean...you’re not?”

“Nope. Come on, we need to get going.”

As they stepped out of the barn, Leon saw Micky walking away in the distance. He nudged Jack and pointed. Jack nodded, “Yep, I knew he was there.”

“You did?”

“Yeah, saw his shadow through the boards. He heard exactly what I wanted him to hear.”
