Chapter 11: The Desk
At eleven the south wall had eight guards on it, four spare trucks behind it and a rope across the stairwell.
Gong Ting had checked all of it twice.
He had walked every yard of the south side with the boy counting his steps.
He had put the best shot in the building on the roof with a thermos of tea.
There was nothing else to do until the flare went up.
He went to find Bai Jin to say so.
Bai Jin's office was on the third floor, with the lamp on and the door half open.
"Come in," said Bai Jin, without looking up. "Shut the door."
Gong Ting shut it.
"South wall is ready. I've given the boy the whistle. If they come over, the doctor takes the..."
"Sergeant," said Bai Jin.
"Boss."
"Take off your boots."
Gong Ting stood still.
Bai Jin put down his pen and stood up, small and neat in his vest, and came round the desk.
He had washed his face.
His eyes were very dark and he looked more steady than Gong Ting had ever seen him.
"You have an hour before shift," said Bai Jin. "I checked. I want it."
"There's an attack coming."
"That's why."
Gong Ting looked at him.
Nobody had told him to take his boots off since the army.
Nobody had said I want it and meant him, only what he could do.
