In a few swift movements he slit the ropes binding Ben, who staggered
back. The man caught him and held him up, then ripped off the duct tape.
“Who are you?” Ben’s body trembled from the rush of fear and a fierce
headache pounded in his temple.
The man didn’t answer. He bent over one of the dead Samoans and pulled
out a wallet. He looked inside and threw it at Ben. “It’s yours.” Then the man
led him by the arm down the overgrown road where he handed Ben his clothes from
the brush.
“Come on,” the man said. Ben looked back at the dead men sprawled face
down. They oozed like two fat walruses sunning themselves in the moonlight.
“Don’t worry about them. I’ll dump them later, somewhere they’ll never be
found.”
In a daze, Ben followed his savior up the rough road, stumbling behind
him in the dim moonlight.
“I’ll take you back to base and you’re on your own,” the man said once
they reached his car, parked off the main road. “Don’t speak of this to anyone.
Understand?”
Ben nodded and climbed in the car. He looked over at the stranger in
black who had saved him. His mammoth biceps flexed as he drove, hunched over
the wheel. Ben stared at him, and then a memory flickered. “Why are you
following me? Why save me?”
“I’m an interested party. Leave it at that.”
“I can’t. I would have died up there for sure.”
The man didn’t respond.
“Thank you.”
The man looked at Ben. His green eyes glowed in the moonlight that
filtered into the car.
“Someday you might not thank me. Someday you might not survive.”
