EXCERPT

Eliza woke to excruciating pain. However, beyond the pain, she could feel someone holding her hand. She opened her eyes to a very worried Captain Hudson. She was disappointed it was not the colonel, but he was a battle soldier. She could not expect him to spend his time waiting for her to wake up. She tried to smile at Captain Hudson but smiling hurt her lips too much.
“Don’t try to talk,” he said. “I just want you to know that the girls who hurt you are no longer here. You are completely safe now. I’ve brought you both paper and pencil.” He smiled. “I know you will be terribly bored, sitting here with nothing to do. Therefore, I’ve placed a mathematical problem on each of the pages to keep that wonderful brain of yours challenged.”
She wrote, thank you, on the paper.
He pressed her hand to his lips. “You are more than welcome, Eliza. I only wish I could have prevented this.”
“She’s awake?” Colonel Polanski’s voice spoke from the door. Just the sound of his voice brought a smile to her face, which caused her to groan in pain.
The colonel leaned over her, examining her face. “I know you’re in pain, but it’s damn good to see you awake.”
Captain Hudson excused himself, giving Eliza’s hand a gentle squeeze before leaving.
The colonel stroked her hair. “I see I’m not the only one you’ve mesmerized,” he teased. “Well, lucky for him, he will be accompanying you to your new place of residence. Captain Hudson’s job will be to make certain you remain focused on your studies, and my job is to ensure you are safe and secure.”
Eliza stared at him in surprise and then wrote her question on her pad: Am I not going to college then?
“No, this attempt on your life has MAC concerned. He wants you better protected, and I’ve been assigned the onerous task.”
She wrote: It will be a task requiring frequent rewards.
He smiled. “I imagine it will.” Then his eyes saddened. “But first you must heal.”
For a bunch of girls, they sure did hit hard.
His face turned dark and frightening. She imagined this was the man the enemy faced. She squeezed his hand bringing back the man with the sparkling eyes.
