He looked at me for a dozen seconds. I looked back. Sahra came to stand beside me. Behind us, To Tan giggled as he played with his grandmother. The old man shifted his look to Sahra. For a moment he seemed to be staring into yesterday. He shivered. His expression grew more inscrutable. We can.

Good. Do it while Im with them. I jerked a thumb uphill. Ill get word to Doj. Hell find you.

Tarn Dak continued to stare cooly. Not inimically at all, just without comprehension. I was not behaving like a proper foreigner.

Good luck. I returned to Rudy. Heres the deal. The Nyueng Bao need to take a powder. Ill go with Swan. Ill stall around when I get to his camp. You see that the Nyueng Bao get moved out, then make this mess look like we were setting up for the guys coming over tonight.

The old man overheard every word.

I continued, As far as anybody around here goes, these people never existed.

But...

Do it. And let them have most of the food. We can sponge off Ladys gang. I hoped.

Rudy looked at Sahra. Everybody seemed to think that she was the key. He shrugged. Youre the boss. I guess I dont need to understand. How are you going to explain her?

I dont have to. I headed toward where Swans patrol was surrounded.

Sahra came right along after pausing to grab up To Tan.

Stay here, I told her. She looked at me blankly, smitten by sudden deafness. I took a few steps. She matched them. You need to stay with your own people.

A little smile teased her lips. She shook her head.

Hong Tray was not the only witch in this family.

Ky Gota...

Boom!

You! Soldier of Darkness! You her ruin, now is not good enough for you? Cruel witch was my mother but... She became incomprehensible but not the least bit quiet. I checked Tarn Dak. He remained inscrutable but I would have bet my shot at heaven he wanted to laugh.

Fuck this. Rudy! Find out what belongs to Sahra and see that it stays in our tent. Come on, woman.

Holy shit, Swan murmured when I stepped out where he could see me. No wonder you went back.

Hands off, pretty boy. Ay, Nyueng Bao! If you are out there go see Tarn Dak. Its important. Taglians. See Rudy from the Company. I turned back to Swan. There. Were down to a few snipers. Just in case.

He stopped staring at Sahra. Sorry. You really stumbled into the sweet shit, didnt you? He did have the courtesy to make his remarks in Forsberger.
