Looking around the room, she meets the gaze of Bol and remembers how gentle he was with her and how he had saved her life.
                  “Okay.” She takes a long drink of her soda. “I’ll help, but you need to tell me exactly what you want and how much.”
                  “You are doing my people a great service.” Elder Rin nods to her and stands. “I will leave you two to discuss the rest of the plan.” As her hand reaches for the door she turns back around and looks at Jamie again. “I will not forget what you have done for us, young woman.”
                  The door closes behind her and Bol sits down in the seat that Elder Rin was using before. “I cannot thank you enough for what you will do for my people.”
                  “You already have. You helped me out of a dangerous situation on the first day I was here and you bandaged me up when I was hurt. I can ask for no more, but if you are willing there is one more thing I will ask for.”
                  “Name it and I will see that it is done.”
                  “Show me around your camp when I get back. I would like to spend a couple more days with you and find out more about your people. I haven’t seen too much outside of your home yet.”
                  A broad smile spreads across his face and he nods. “That sounds like a fair trade Jamie. A fair trade indeed. Now here is what I need...”
    *****
                  The next day Jamie is waiting outside the gate for Larry to pick her up in his SUV. The guard who let her out is the same one that let her in a few days ago. Now that she is outside of the walls he smiles at her.
                  “Decided to cut short your vacation with the Ass-tars huh?”
                  “No, I forgot some key equipment. I need to go back to the paper and pick it up.”
                  “Why didn’t you just tell your boss what you needed? He could have brought it to you. I bet you hated it in there didn’t you?”
                  “It wasn’t so bad.” Jamie tugs at the brim of her large floppy hat and hopes that it still covers up the bandage on her head. “I just didn’t want to give out the code to my locker over the telephone is all. I’ve got some personal stuff in there and I don’t want just anyone knowing the code.”
                  “I hear that, but I still bet the other side of the wall wasn’t what you thought it would be. Stinks like hell over there. And don’t even get me started about how ugly those bastards are.”
                  Keep it together Jamie, she tells herself. She has to clench her fists so hard that her nails bite painfully into the palms of her hands to keep from lashing out at the guard and telling him that the reason it stinks in there is because of people like him who insist on keeping the Astara locked up in the first place. He’s an idiot who was too stupid to get a degree and barely smart enough to join the army so they have him guarding a door that doesn’t need guarding. That’s all. Now don’t yell at him.
                  “I guess it does stink a little.” She agrees with him just to keep on his good side. In the distance she can see a plume of dust rising in the air. Larry’s SUV tops a small rise a few hundred yards away and she breathes a sigh of relief.
                  “Say. You wouldn’t want to go out some time would you?” the guard asks her.
                  She stifles a laugh. She doesn’t want to hurt the man’s feelings. “I’m sorry, but I’m married to my work and I don’t cheat.”
                  “Fair enough. Just thought I’d ask.”
                  “Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate the compliment, but I just don’t have time for dating right now.”
                  “Sure I
