Hyena Road Page #5

Any marks about him,

any scars?

- No, but he had weird eyes.

- Weird how?

His left eye was brown

and his right eye was deep blue.

Hmm.

So who is this guy?

Why do you...

Why did he give me this Panah?

That's what I wanna know.

I got a patrol going back

into the village in the morning.

I'd really like if you'd come

along with me,

help me ID the guy.

- Yeah, sure, I'll be there.

- 0900.

- Alright.

- Alright.

- I'll see you in the morning.

- Yeah.

- What are you thinking?

- Hmm...

I'm thinking

about our hotel room in Cyprus.

Um...

Okay, I'm gonna say something,

and I say it for both of us

and it's going to be shitty.

It's gotta be said.

- F*** me.

- You know that I am

completely crazy about you,

and Cyprus was...

Cyprus was perfect.

We're perfect.

But we can't keep doing this,

we both know that.

If we get caught,

I'm gonna get cashiered.

This is my career.

It's mine too.

I know,

this is what I'm saying.

When we... rotate home,

we'll see.

But right now, while we're here,

it's got to stop.

So this is it?

I think it has to be.

This is like

f***ing Armageddon.

I know.

You know there's nothing

that I would rather do right now

than climb over there and

fraternize the sh*t out of you.

Hmm...

You can't dump me

in one sentence

then say something like that

in the next.

Ah...!

Now, when we get

to the grape fields, if you see wire,

you see metal, you see plastic,

newly turned dirt,

don't step on 'em.

You didn't drop it,

don't pick it up.

Try to stay

at least five body lengths

between the next man

in the patrol.

When we get in the village,

you're gonna see women

dressed in bags.

Please don't stare at them.

I know you've probably seen that

in Toronto or Paris,

but you haven't seen it here.

Here, those bags are like

magnets for your eyes.

If you get caught staring at

them, it'll f*** sh*t up for us.

Quick clot, tourniquet, bandage.

I don't know how to use

any of that.

Ma'am, if it has to be used,

it won't be you using it.

Hey! Eyes!

In my job,

it is a great honour

to meet elders such as yourself.

Today, I meet you,

so it's a good day.

But I was hoping to meet

another elder in this village.

He says that, "I'm the only

elder, and there is no other."

Strange. Someone told me

there was another important man

that lived in this village,

but I forget his name.

But this person said you

couldn't forget him

because he had two different

coloured eyes.

Hey, hey, hey!

What's in your head?

You're too high.

You can see the women

without their bags.

Get down! Get down!

Sorry, sir.

I think you know who I mean.

He says he's a ghost.

Even ghosts

have to live somewhere.
