I responded, “I don’t know. I just don’t know.”
We arrived back on Tocabaga and put the vaccine in a refrigerated storage unit.
The eight of us went to the Green Room for a much needed drink. Tony poured us all a double shot. We held up the glasses for a toast and looked at each other not saying a word. After downing the booze, I said, “Good job guys. I’m beat, see y’all later.”
I went home, took a shower, and went to bed. Just as it was turning daylight, I crawled into bed trying not to wake my wife. She softly asked me, “You ok?”
“Yeah, I’m ok. I just need some sleep.” She lightly rubbed my shoulder; the one that always hurts from the fight I had with al-Qaida terrorists. Ever since I fell into a 10 foot pit it has never been the same. I am in pain most of the time when I raise my left arm.
I’m glad she didn’t ask me any more questions because I didn’t feel like talking. I didn’t want to think about what happened to Rico or I’d never fall asleep.
I closed my eyes and tried not to think about the new Invisible enemy.
That’s all for now.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE, and HOME OF THE BRAVE
