"Hiding. They told me to go there."

"Who?"

"The commander himself. He said it was the safest building in
the village."

Waller laughed. "He really said that?"

"Yes."

"But he forgot to add it was also the building we were
attacking. Didn't you notice the guns?"

"All those boxes?"
 "Yes."

"I never realizedтАж he didn't tell meтАж you mean he sent me in
there deliberately to get killed?"

"No, I doubt that. I imagine he was simply being protective.
Seeing you in there might make us hesitate a moment."

"Well, I did help them. Look at your arm."

"Yes," he said, "you did a good job."

"Why shouldn't I? Look, I thought you were trying to kill me."

"And I thought you said you were innocent."

"I was."

"Then I wouldn't have hurt you."

"IтАФ" she suddenly smiled, relaxing "тАФI know that now. I'm
even sorry I did it. Shot you. I guess I must have panicked. Can
you blame me? I'd never seen anyone killed before."

"No, I can't blame you. I'm even very glad I didn't kill you as I
was going to. I suppose that should make us friends of sorts,
both being so glad. Look, it must be late. Why don't you rake up
a pile of leaves and try to sleep?"

"What about you?'.'

"I'll stand watch."

"I'll help."
