Log;

Adeline was thinking about Iraq. More specifically, a boy named Bahadur Abraheemnajad. He had the most dazzling eyes. A perfect smile. Nimble hands. Dark hair. Adeline had been completely enrapt by the boy, so smart for only seven years old. She had talked to him, when his father came to visit the base. His father was translator, making French into the language of his people. Bahadur loved learning French.

Adeline had shot him in the head. His father had leaked information to an unknown party. The whole family had to die.

Adeline was thinking of a girl (Or a woman?) named Shaheen. Or, at least, Adeline thought her name had been Shaheen. It was what the woman Adeline thought might be her mother had shouted when the bullet had hit. But for all Adeline knew, ‘Shaheen’ meant “Help, someone shot my daughter!”. Adeline thought ‘Shaheen’ was a bit short, though, for a cry of help and anguish, but, on the other hand, Adeline had shot the mother before she could have finished her sentence.

And Adeline felt nothing. It was her job. The captain said “Pousse!” into her headset, so that person had to die. And that one. And that one. And she did it all with the grace and care that someone else, if they had a different job, might staple papers or fix their office lightbulb.

And Adeline could not stop thinking about this, her job. It didn’t bother her, but it bothered other people!

And she could think of nothing else but to tell someone!

Now, where was Smee? He said they where going to meet in the market place... where in the market place?

Adeline thought about a boy named Mohammed, and how his eyes had glazed over...

Where was Smee?
