Chapter 23: Dust-Off
Jonas lifted us off the pad at Fort Bragg in four minutes flat, with the sun not yet over the pines.
I sat in the cabin with my flight bag between my knees and the headset pressed to my ears.
The second medic sat beside me, a lanky corporal two months out of school, gripping the litter strap.
"Dust-off Six, Dust-off Six," said Jonas's voice on the intercom, level as a table. "Range control, say condition."
"Dust-off, three casualties," the radio crackled. "Demolition charge went early on the east range. One severe. Two walking."
"Landing zone is clear. We have a man holding pressure."
"Roger. Two minutes."
It was a pale gray morning with ground fog in the hollows.
The range opened below us, a field of sandbags and red flags, with a pickup truck parked beside a cluster of men on the grass.
Jonas put the helicopter down in the middle of it as softly as a hand on a table.
I was out before the skids settled.
Three men were down.
Two sat up with ringing ears and burns on their forearms.
