out of here. Are you in or not?”
    “Not if you’re in charge.”
    “For crying out loud, I didn’t do anything! Will you get over it? Why do you think I’m here? I came to get your miserable butt out of here, but we have to work together. I saved some of the team when they first got caught.”
    “You released them?” Burgess snapped.
    “Yes, as a matter of fact I did, with a little help from Jennings, Blackstone, Gonzales, Metcalfe, and Chan.”
    The woman was silent for a few minutes.
    “I don’t believe you.”
    Burgess couldn’t see her shake her head in the dark, but Jinn did so anyway and sighed.
    “Believe what you want. At least tell me what’s going on here.”
    “Iceman took me with him hoping to keep me as his latest fling, but I’m not cooperating. He’s pissed so he put me here to think it over. His woman, Solange Salazar is a bitch of the worst kind and uses the Captain’s sister as a tool to keep Iceman in line. She refuses to let him have Tara, but they’ve done something to her. She doesn’t even remember me.”
    “Why is it men can’t think beyond their zippers?”
    “If I had the answer to that, Dennison, I’d be a billionaire,” Jane said in a snide tone.
    “Wait a minute. That was the Captain’s sister? I thought she was kidnapped. It seemed to me like she was in charge, not a damsel in distress. Did you get the layout of the place?”
    “No. I was blindfolded during the truck ride here. I figure it took a good two hours. The road was winding and rough as hell. My ass is on fire from the bumps.”
    Jinn couldn’t help but laugh. Regardless of the woman’s attitude, she liked her.
    “Any idea what they have planned for us?”
    “I know what the bastard has planned for me. As for you, I hope he kills your sorry hide.”
    “Oh, shut up. If you want to believe that I’d betray the troop then go ahead. As for me, I’m out of here the first chance I get and to hell with you all.”
    A sultry voice spoke up from the shadows. “The only place you’re going is outside to play a game for Iceman.”
    The light of a torch came from the dark hall as a woman moved toward the cells and threw something soft between the bars at Jinn then did the same for Burgess. She was stunningly beautiful, her classic Spanish features like that of a movie star. Long black hair glistened as it flowed down her back.
    “Put them on. If you refuse, I’ll have my men do it for you.”
    The material was silky and cool in her fingers as Jinn held it up. Even in the dark she could tell it was a dress.
    “I’m not wearing that! It won’t go with my camouflage makeup and my sexy boots. Oh, I guess that’s why your men and that crazy woman didn’t believe I was lost. I was just playing G. I. Jane.”
    “There’s a bowl of water and a cloth on the shelf behind you. Clean up and be ready, or else.”
    The threat obviously wasn’t false as three men stepped forward into the dim light, leering at her and Burgess.
    “All right! Call off your dogs,” Jinn snapped.
    A sultry laugh echoed softly in the room. Solange said softly, “Out.” The men moved quickly grumbling as they walked back through the doorway.
    “Your time is running out. You have five minutes.” Solange left the room.
    Jinn glanced over at Burgess and could make out that she was changing and followed suit. The silk slid down her body and fit like a glove. It was a low cut V-neck with thin straps. Though she couldn’t make out the color, it appeared to be lighter than her fellow inmate’s.”
    The dresses they wore were slit from the ankles to the knees allowing them both free movements. Jinn reached down and ripped hers higher to ensure she could use her full capacity to kick out. Burgess followed suit.
    Without a bra on, Jinn felt exposed and grimaced. She quickly took the cloth and dipped it into the tepid water then washed her face as best she could. Her hair was a mess, but there was no help for it. After all, soldiers didn’t
