ITaS NOT OVER TILL ITaS OVERa] aThis is my last call, Will.a Cecil said. aOur time is short. The companyas jet is available and currently parked at Pope AFB adjacent Ft. Bragg. We can be there to pick you up by 700 hours tomorrow and be in Saigon the day after tomorrow. Thereas a bonus for you when you get back that could come in handy for the upcoming wedding. What do you say, Will? Are you with us on this?a The sun was just beginning to rise above the horizon as Will and Petey watched the unmarked jet bank and turn to make its final approach into the Sikeston Airpark. He wondered if Mary Ann had heard the noise and if she would connect the jetas arrival to his departure. He hadnat told her he was leaving. He knew it would be too painful. While the crew loaded his gear, he took a moment to say goodbye to Petey. Their lifelong friendship was being interrupted once again and Will felt sure Petey had great concern for his well-being. Although he had downplayed the danger, Petey knew this was no ordinary mission.
