CHRISTMAS in KHOBAR - Excerpt from the story of the same name.
I
walk into the hospitality suite room to see two bachelorettes drinking Miranda
orange soda on a sofa. Oh…oh, I know
the red-haired woman.
A
month or so before. Milt and I are wandering around after dinner in some alley
when he tells me that last week the teenagers had a Scavenger Hunt party. A what?
Apparently
they would meet at someone’s house, be paired into teams and sent out with a
list of stuff to collect. They had two hours to scavenge and then come back.
Whoever had the most stuff won.
My first question is, “Won what?”
Milt
replies, “A hamburger and milkshake at the Fiesta Room.”
Not too shoddy, I think to myself. “And
what did they have to collect?”
