Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe Page #4

- And you are?

- Amanda Maples.

I'm with the local food relief program.

We work out of the clinic.

- Nice threads, by the way. Really subtle.

- Yeah. It's a long story.

You wanna talk to your buddy in there?

You guys could be in danger.

Yeah. I'll do my best. For now though...

we'd all really appreciate it

if you'd get lost.

'Cause if we weren't a target before...

we definitely will be

if you guys don't leave.

As a soldier, I can't just leave.

Sure you can.

You just-

You get in the truck and you turn the key.

You put your foot on the pedal-

it's on the floor-

and you go.

What's going on? Who's the kid?

She may be with one of the terrorists.

We caught her sneaking

into one of the trucks.

Hey, hey.

Everybody just calm down here.

Geez. Okay.

So, kid-

Okay, guys, come on.

She's just looking for something to eat.

Let's not go crazy. It's not our mission

to rough up hungry teenagers.

- Right?

- Of course.

Here you go, kid.

So, look, I talked to the doctor

and a lady from the food aid program...

but they don't know anything

about an attack.

All I got out of 'em

was a polite invitation to screw off.

We will make camp nearby.

If there is an attack, we will be ready.

Veracruz's camp was pretty remote.

But let me tell you,

his guys were seriously well-armed.

I didn't know exactly

who we were up against yet...

- but they had enough firepower to wipe 'em off the map.

- Hola, Commander Axe.

So I decided I'd just

keep my head down, do my job...

and make my reports to H. Q.

like a good boy.

Admiral Maitland's office.

- Commander Axe for Admiral Maitland, please.

- One moment, Commander.

- Axe.

- Yes, sir.

Uh, no contact

with any terrorists yet, sir.

- We're a couple miles from the clinic.

- Good.

Carry on as long as it takes.

Sir, what exactly does

"as long as it takes" mean?

It means next time...

stay away from the wives

of ranking officers.

- See you in a few months.

- Roger that.

- Hey. Just calling to command, letting them know what's up.

- Fantastic.

Perhaps you would like to relax,

eat some supper.

My men and I are going to scout the area.

- I'll go with you. My gear's right in there.

- Actually, seor...

- it is better if you stay here.

- Oh, stay here.

I can't exactly observe and report

from the inside of my tent, can I?

- I can handle a little night scouting.

- I'm sure you can, Commander Axe...

but I'm responsible for your safety.

If we make contact with the terrorists,

we will come for you immediately.

This is where things

kind of started to go sideways.

You might wanna mark that down

in your notes. "Things went sideways. "

- So, what did you do?

- I guess you could say I modified my orders.
