In the kitchen Donna got busy with the preparation of the tea. Vivian seated herself on a kitchen chair.“It has been a long time. You don’t visit ...anybody anymore since your husband got his new job. Feeling above us?” Vivian joked.“No, I was really busy. I work now too.” Donna replied.“Oh?” Vivian said surprised. “And who is taking care of the kids?”“That is difficult, but we manage. They are not that young anymore. Lisa is already eighteen.”“Still,” Vivian said, “You were so pleased with being. Ben, she was wearing a Border Patrol uniform. What does that tell you?"Ben calmed visibly, his voice still tight. "It tells me we were set up, and I was stupid enough to buy it."Sandy made an impatient gesture. "But I don't think it was you they wanted to fool. I bet it was the First Sergeant, and the people who make decisions in the Army, as far as they could tell. But why?"Ben nodded, almost calmly, though he was still shaking. "'Cui bono?' Who benefits? We're here because of it, but I doubt. You prosecuted Henry Williams forrape and murder, withholding evidence andtestimony which would have shown he wasinnocent. Isn't that so? He lost his wife, hischildren, his business, every penny he owned, soyou could have the satisfaction of claiming you hadsent a dangerous man to death row." She didn'thave to answer that. It was her secret. "Youprosecuted Shirley Buchanan for murder, saying sheintentionally gave an dying woman an lethaloverdose of morphine. The jury said she was. She stood a few steps from the bottom of the stairs and looked us over with a keen eye without saying anything for a moment. ‘Where are you from?’ Felleona said as she still looked us over, trying to find out who was in charge. ‘Greenglen Captain.’ Cheriphala said respectfully while looking Felleona over with a shrewd eye. ‘Is this all Woravia could spare?’ Felleona said a little disappointed by our numbers. ‘We are half her numbers Captain, any more and the town would have been left at risk.’.
