***A NEW WAIL PIERCED THE NIGHT, A SCREAMING BANSHEE OF A BOMB! THE GIRL'S ARMS WERE LOCKED ABOUT HIM AS THE BOMB CRASHED THROUGH THE ROOF NEXT DOOR.                                                                                                                                         THERE WAS NO OTHER SOUND, AND RICK SHOUTED INTO THE GIRL'S EAR, "IT'S A DUD!"    BUT SHE ONLY CLUNG MORE TIGHTLY, WEEPING. AFTER A WHILE, HE KNEW THAT WORDS WERE NEEDLESS..  HER BODY MOLDED WITHOUT RESTRAINT AGAINST HIS OWN. HIS LIPS MOVED UNRESISTINGLY UNTIL THEY WERE FULL ON HER MOUTH. FOR A MOMENT, SHE DID NOT REPOND. THEN, AS HER WEEPING STILLED, HER MOUTH CAME ALIVE.  THE NIGHT MERGED THEM AND SILENCED ALL SOUND BUT THE ECSTASY OF THEIR HEARTS.                                                                                                                               BATTLE SURGEON WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY DOUBLED  & COMPANY
