A tall slim officer with a lean face and silver-rimmed glasses sat up in the sand”I’m over here, Major, what do you want?”
“Did you take your camera along?” Leach nodded dubiously”Well, bring it over, will ya?” Dalleson shoutedLeach was his assistant, a captain, in operations and kelly hermes training
Dalleson grinned at him as he came overLeach was a good fellow, agreeable, did his work all right, anxious to please”Listen, Leach, I’d like ya to take a picture of me shooting some pebbles
“It’s going to be kind of hard, MajorThis’s just a little ol’ box camera, and it’s only got a shutter speed of one-twenty-fifth of a second”Aw hell, it’ll be good enough

@@@@@All I know is it happened
in a violent explosion, and sunsets had nothing to
do with itIt was mostly black and blue, the
color of bruises, and when it was done, my left
arm ached from the exerciseMy hand was
splattered with paint all the way to the wrist
The finished canvas reminded me a little of those
noir paperback covers I used to see back when I
was a kid, the ones that always featured some
roundheels dame headed for hellOnly on the
paperback covers, the dame was usually blond and
twenty-twoishIn my picture, she had dark hair
206
and looked on the plus side of fortyThis dame
was my ex-wife
She was sitting on a rumpled bed, wearing nothing
but a pair of blue pantiesThe strap of a
matching bra trailed across one legHer head was
slightly bent, but there was no mistaking her
features; I had caught her BRILLIANTLY in just a
few harsh strokes of black that were almost like
Chinese ideogramsOn the slope of one breast was
the picture’s only real spot of brightness: a rose
tattooI wondered when she’d gotten it, and why
Pam wearing ink seemed as unlikely to me as Pam
racing a dirt-bike at Mission Hill, but I had no
doubt whatever that it was true; it was just a
fact, like Carson Jones’s Torii Hunter tee-shirt
There were also two men in the picture, both naked
One stood at the window, half-turnedHe had a
perfectly typical body for a white middle-class
man of fifty or so, one I imagined you could see
in any Gold’s Gym changing room: poochy stomach,
flat little no-cheeks ass, moderate man-titsHis
face was intelligent and well-bredOn that face
now was a melancholy she’s-almost-gone lookA
nothing-will-change-it lookThis was Max from
207
Palm DesertHe might as well have been wearing a
sign around his neckMax who had lost his father
last year, Max who had started by offering Pam
coffee and had ended up offering her moreShe’d
taken him up on the coffee and the more, but not
all the more he would have givenYou couldn’t see all of it, but what you
could see was a lot more naked than his ass
The other man leaned in the doorway with his
ankles crossed, a position that pressed his thighs
together and pushed his considerable package

@@@@@I took the money from the garage I was working at
“What do ya mean ya took the money?”
“Oh, it wasn’t so hard, if you watched the anglesI was the bookkeeper there and we were taking in a thousand dollars a day in repairsI just took the money out of the till, and I held over to the next day the Work Completed slips on three cars which had repairs totaling up to the three hundred bucksThose cars had gone out that afternoon, and I had to hold them over in the books so the receipts for that day on work completed and paid for wouldn’t show a holeThen the next day I checked them out in the books and held over another three C’s worth
“How long did ya do it for?” Brown asked
“For two whole weeks, how do ya like that? There was a couple of days when we only had a couple of cars being paid for, and I was sweating blood ’cause by the time I took out the three hundred there wasn’t much leftOf course I carried over the receipts from the day before that I didn’t credit, but there was so few cars it would have showed up kind of funny if anyone had looked at the books that day
“Well, how’d you get out of it?” Brown askedAfter we bought the furniture I took out a loan for three hundred with that as security, and then I just slipped the three hundred back in a couple of days, and paid off the loan in monthly paymentsBut I had the furniture dirt-cheapAnd maybe it didn’t make some good impression on peopleI never woulda had it, if I didn’t take the chance
“That was pretty good,” Brown admittedHe was impressed; this was a facet of Stanley about which he had been ignorant
“It took a lot to do it, I’ll tell ya,” Stanley saidHe was remembering the nights he had lain awake worrying during those two weeksHe had suffered from any number of fears which attacked him in the nightHis manipulations had become confused and impossible in the black hours of the morning; he would go over and over in his mind the changes he had made in the books and they would seem in error to him; he would become convinced he would be discovered the next dayHe would try to concentrate, and find himself repeating an addition in his mind over and over again”Eight plus thirty-five makeseight plus thirty-five makes three and carry one His stomach had become upset, and he could hardly eat any foodThere would be times when he woud lie sweating in his bed, completely conquered by despair and anx

@@@@@
For the rest of the morning, the platoon clambered up the ridgeThey passed along rockly ledges, up knife-edged slopes of kunai grass so steep that they climbed by clutching at the roots as though they were ascending a ladderThey passed through a forest which straddled the ridge and sheered down to the floor of the gullies beneath themThey went farther and farther up until their limbs were trembling and their packs felt like hundred-pound bags of flourAnd each time they came to a minor peak they were certain the crest of the mountain was near, and all they saw instead was another half mile of torturous ridge which abutted still another crestSeveral times during the morning, he stopped and said, “You men might jus’ as well realize right now that the goddam mountain’s pretty big, an’ you ain’t gettin’ to the top in a hurry They listened to him, but they could not believe himIt was too painful to climb without the supporting notion that their labors would be over soon
At noon they reached the end of the ridge and had a shockIt dropped for several hundred feet of precipitous rocks into a valley of stone set in the middle of the mountain, and beyond it the center of Mount Anaka rose far above them, ascending as high as they could see in tier upon tier of forest and clay and jungle and rock, rising vertiginously for what seemed like thousands and thousands of feetThey could not even glimpse the peak; it was lost in a coronet of clouds
“Jesus, have we got to climb that?” one of the men panted
Croft stared uneasily at themIt was too obviously an expression of the way they all feltHe was tired himself, almost as tired as he had been, and he knew he would have to drive them every yard upward”We’re gonna eat a ration here, and then we’re gonna go onYou men understand that?”
There was a subdued muttering againHe sat down on a boulder and stared in the direction from which they had comeMiles away he could see the yellow hills where they had been ambushed, and where someplace now Brown and his litter detail must be travelingFar off he could see the fringe of jungle that bordered the island and beyond it the sea from which they had comeIt was all wilderness; there seemed no one, nothing alive in any of itThe war on the other side of the mountain was remote at this moment
Behind him Mount Anaka bored into his back as if it were a human thingHe turned around and stared at it soberly, feeling again the crude inarticulate thrill it always gave himHe was going to climb it; he swore it to himse
