#18: A Tunnel Rat Reported

..............................................................................................................................................

"Hey Sarge” the tunnel rat was with dust...and other stuff. He had just crawled out of one of the tunnels in Cu Chi. "I found something down there. It’s another GI. He must have been a prisoner or something. He was in there during the bombing.”

"My God” the Lt. said, breaking into the conversation."is he all right?”

"No Sir.” the tunnel rat said. He tried. He tried HARD not to roll his eyes.

Fail.

---

Shelby was extracted from the tunnels. Somewhere along the line his ballistic jacket and helmet went missing. The exoskeleton never saw the light of day. It might still be in the hole. It had done it’s job.

Shelby had survived...part of him...the voice... had died.

---

Shelby was transported to Sam Snead Hospital in Maryland, USA. Home of the Big BX.
