Salty (2007)
“But there he was, the whiny cheapskate from Seattle, his head bashed in by the butt of an AK-47, his body dumped on the ground like the proverbial sack of shit. Hundreds of black flies were already swarming around the blood-spattered gash on his head, laying their eggs in his nostrils and eyelids.
A lean and muscular Thai man, his hair cropped into a thick flattop, his eyes hidden behind a stylish pair of Ray-Bans, identified himself as Captain Somporn.
“Please cooperate. We don’t want to kill ...anyone else.”
He was deadly serious, scary even, and yet there was something about him that disarmed Sheila. Maybe it was because he was handsome.
Sheila looked over at the dead man’s wife. The woman sat on the ground in shock, staring at her feet, rocking slowly back and forth. Sheila noticed that the woman had shit herself, soiling her expensive safari shorts. She thought about going over and comforting her, but then she remembered the grotesque sweat stain the woman had left on her shirt and her husband’s indignant howls of outrage that an American should ever be subjected to anything but gratitude and servitude by the inhabitants of the “third world.”MoreLess
