Montgomerys eyes fluttered and then rolled back into her head. She collapsed in a dead faint against Devine, who grabbed her so she wouldnt hit the floor. Where the old Air Force base is? Then, before I could answer,Pretty crazy shit, huh? Those little machines. In fifteen minutes both drivers were on their way in new cars. Howd that happen? We sat in theater chairs near the back. You didnt actually see or hear him? Mason asked. Can you put it away somewhere? she asked. Sergeant Holcomb regarded him for a moment, said,No, and abruptly turned away.
