“His radio hadn’t survived the parachute jump yesterday. He was now likely listed as AWOL. The heli transporting Emma had been way off course. John had only found her because the Vietnamese had a fairly efficient grapevine when it came to news and the villager he’d spoken to had heard of a helicopter crash. He had traveled throughout the night to reach the crash site. Though most of the marijuana stash had been burned or stolen, John had found enough residue in the cargo area to deduct why ...the Huey was so close to enemy territory and far from where it should have been. The pilots had made a drug pick up. Weed and heroin use among the troops wasn’t wide spread but it did exist and the bozos had used the lax Christmas Day atmosphere to pull off an unauthorized stop.
The further John walked from Emma’s hiding place, the harder his stomach churned. Every possible what if’ scenario raced through his mind. What if he were caught or killed? What if she was discovered before he returned? The odds of that happening were slim, but then the odds of everything that had happened had been minimal—yet what could go wrong had gone wrong. The sun had barely risen and his window of opportunity to do what needed to be done was short. Only something in his gut wouldn’t let him keep walking away from her.MoreLess
