Ben was up and walking around. He was doing more walking every day to keep his legs from atrophying, so he said.

“Raines,” Chase said patiently, “you would have to lay up in bed for weeks, comatose, before anything like that would begin to occur.”

“I know what I’m doing,” Ben told him.

“A witch doctor knows more about medicine than you do,” Chase fired back.

“Stuff it, Lamar.”

“Stick it up your nose, Raines.”

The two men argued and bitched and cursed each other as they walked the streets of the town. It was a welcome sight and sound to the Rebels. They knew that Ben Raines was going to be all right.

“You ready to start givin’ ‘em hell, General?” a Rebel called.

“You damn right, Shorty,” Ben replied. “It won’t be long now.”

“What are we gonna find overseas, General?” a woman yelled.

“Trouble,” Ben returned the yell.

“What else is new?” she told him.

Therm began joining the men on their daily walks. His wife had pointed out that he was getting a little tubby about the middle. Pissed him off mightily.

On this day, Ben was not using his cane. “You have amazing healing powers, Ben,” Therm told him.

“Modern medicine,” Lamar said with a smirk, knowing that would get a response out of Ben.
