The Merchant slows the truck as its approach the woman.
>stay here and cover me.He tells you, and the woman, afraid of the sight of a gun, hobbles backward a step.
>I'm just in trouble. I'm just a person. I don't hurt anyone, I don't do anything I'm just trying to live.The Merchant looks at her intently. The foot is turned at a bad angle, but isn't bleeding.
>We're not savages, ma'am. Are you bitten? Ma'am have you been bitten?She shakes her head, as you'd expect. The Merchant lifts at her skirt, steps around behind her frisking and prodding, and looks over the splint quickly.

(67) in all the commotion, and distraction of the woman, you find that, though you heard the helicopter, even looked at it, all you remember was the bright sun flashing in your eyes and the image of the helicopter passing higher, towards the clouds, presumably to avoid ground fire. After helping Marcie into the truck, a rigid faced woman, about 34, you don't remember which way the helicopter was even facing, let alone where it came from.
