“Stop killing my men, you idiot!” yelled Noecker. “Don’t you realize we’re on the same side?”
I’ll never be on your side.
“Listen to him, for God’s sake,” pleaded Francina.
I’ll never be on her side, either.
Noecker looked at his watch. “Fifteen minutes.”
“We have to go back inside. We can’t leave her.” Francina appealed to Noecker. “She’s part of the plan.”
“The old woman at the table?” Connor queried. “Leave her.”
“No!” screamed Gertie. “We have to get her.”
“She’s right.” Noecker completed his scan of the roof. “Clear. We have to bring her.”
Noecker walked to the steel door. Connor stood up and blocked him.
“That’s suicide. Wait here for the choppers. Girl. Lanseria. Plane. Paradise.”
“If that’s what you think, then you’re even more stupid than I gave you credit for,” Francina snorted.
“I know you hate me,” Noecker growled, “but let’s go kill some pigs. I’ve changed since we knew each other. I need a man with your special abilities.”
He hasn’t changed, Connor decided. But the chances of getting aboard a chopper without Noecker were probably zero. So he nodded. “Then let’s go save the old lady.”
