CHAPTER 23
SKRU UP
The surveillance flights had gone well; that is to say, there had been no shots fired and no accidents. The planes performed well enough with the added weight and drag of the rockets. Captain Roberts was beginning to exhibit symptoms of anxiety and self-doubt. Nothing was happening. He wanted something to show for the investment. He had put his reputation on the line and was now seeing his promotion fading with the sunset.
I had started to relax, thinking that all the intrigue was in the Captainâs imagination, when Sam came into the office with a message. Her hair and clothes were wet from the rain. She had a stack of papers cradled in one arm, and with her other arm completely outstretched she was being pulled by Bao on his leash.
âHere, take the papers; I have to deal with Bao. Heâs a mess. He did his best to jump in every puddle on the airfield!â
Bao calmed down instantly as if he understood every word. He looked up at me with innocent eyes. I decided to stay out of it and let Sam be the disciplinarian. She rubbed the mud off each of Baoâs feet then sat him rather forcibly on a clean pile of towels.
âWhat was the message?â I asked.
âJames drove me over from the house and said that Honorable Williams wanted to meet you at the airport bar today at noon.â
