Becca's tingles were becoming more intense.The Damsels' job did not run so smoothly later in the week. Jane's team on the ground floor ran into troubl...e. When they started to move items of equipment in the school kitchen they found that the walls behind and the floor under them were filthy. It was not good enough for The Damsels merely to clean down the walls and conveniently forget about the floor. Besides the dirt was greasy and slippery and might have caused an accident. The result was that. I smiled at her naivety and said, “Pump it just a few times and then, at the base of it, squeeze and milk it up.”She squeezed the sides and I had to stop her. “Look, picture a straw inside and you’re squeezing it to push the liquid up.” and saw her nod in understanding, “Now, that straw is on the back side so when you milk it, squeeze the back of it with your thumb.”She started over, pumping it a few times. But this time, she kept her thumb on the back and slowly milked it upwards. She watched. She seemed grateful for my intervention but still shaken from dramatic the change in plans.We were in New Mexico and Kansas was a two day drive, especially since it was late afternoon – early evening. “Toni, let’s get off at the next city and find a department store where you can replace anything that got ruined in the crash.”She looked fearful which told me she had another problem that she hadn’t shared and I thought I knew what it was. “I can’t ... buy things ... that is. Mark left us. We're happy to have you guys, John, as your training results have been excellent. Commander Stridehorn is pleased with the teamwork you've executed with his Ranger squads in the work-up to this mission," Mike explained."Thank you, Sir. It's good to hear those words, especially from you." You just can't drop that Sir bullshit, can you?" Mike grinned."Never in a million years, Sir!" Evans smiled."Cut him a break, Mike," Buzz growled. "We trained them that way. It's part of his genetic makeup.".
