DALE BROWN’S DREAMLAND

“Getting wicked down there,” said the pilot. “We can’t hold this much longer!”

“Just one more,” said Danny. “Boston? Come up with this load.”

Boston’s response was garbled. Danny concentrated on the new patient, whose charred clothes disintegrated as he examined them. Motley patches of crinkled black skin alternated with white blotches on the Pakistani’s chest and left hand; third degree burns. Danny pulled a bottle of dis-tilled water from the burn kit and irrigated as much of the wounds as he could. He wrapped a burn dressing over them, wincing as he worked, though his patient didn’t react. He was definitely breathing, though; Danny left him to help Pretty Boy with their final rescuee.

Pretty Boy was two-thirds of the way out of the cabin, trying to secure the stretcher. The Osprey had started to revolve slowly, as if it were twisting at the end of a string, and the momentum of the aircraft seemed to be pitching the stretcher away from the cabin. One of Pretty Boy’s legs disappeared. Danny leapt at the other, trying to keep his trooper inside the craft. The shoestring tackle would have made his old high school football coach proud; Pretty Boy sailed back into the cabin, along with the stretcher.

The occupant, who had to weigh close to three hundred pounds, filled the entire stretcher. Fortunately, he was conscious and seemingly not badly hurt, with a small patch of red on his cheek and a large stretch on both arms. Coughing violently, he got up slowly and made his way to the rear of the cabin.

The Osprey lifted straight up with a jerk, then began moving forward.

“Boston? Where the hell is Boston?” yelled Danny, scrambling toward the door.

The pier was now surrounded by red flames. Boston stood near the end, waving his arms.
