After Cooper warned me about Max, I had an even bigger desire to see and talk with him. I went to where I usually saw him, the makeshift outdoor gym on the south wall of the camp.
I saw him on the weight bench lifting some ridiculous amount into the air while a slightly smaller man stood behind him. Neither of them had shirts on. Their bodies glistened with sweat.
“Hey, boys,” I said as I strolled up.
Max grunted then placed the barbell on the hooks. He sat up and stared at me with a disgusting lusty look on his face. While not afraid to apply my female charms when needed, I never took it too far. Most of the time, I got the information I needed. Max might help me break the story wide open.
“What’s going on, foxy reporter?” he said, standing up.
The other man wandered away, leaving Max and I alone.
“Your CO is making me go home early.”
I pouted briefly.
“Get out of here. We were just getting to know each other.”
“I had an idea. Do you want to be in the story I’m writing? It would be a profile piece online. You’d get a lot of fan mail from women all over the world.”
“Who says I don’t get that already?” he asked, stepping toward me.
“Well, it would be even more with a nice story online.” He stopped in front of me. “Maybe some photos.”
“You want to take photos of me?”
“Maybe later. I need information first.”
I glanced to the left and right then back to his face, that ugly, stupid mug.
“Information?” he asked, a puzzled expression on his face.
He was a grunt, not too smart.
“Yeah, about what goes on here at the base.”
“What have you heard?”
Does he actually know something?
“Nothing specific, but you’re the real big man on base.”
A smile spread over his face as he lifted an arm and flexed his muscles.
“Impressive,” I cooed. “You have time to talk?”
“Not now,” he said. “Give me an hour.”
“Um, sure. At the mess hall?”
“No, I’ll come to your quarters.”
“I don’t think…”
Before I finished, he turned and walked away.
“Dammit,” I muttered.
