Field Hospital

Luke hadn't been able to get any success with Egyptian girls: they no doubt suspected his motives. So, fortified by booze, he heads down the road in the direction of the Field Hospital. When he arrives, he notices two young nurses coming out, having just finished a shift. It's hard to tell much about their frames under their matronly garb, but both appear to be fit.

"Howaryah, ladeez?" Luke slurs. They recoil at his tone and stench.

"Yeah, clear off, mate," retorts Jessica, an Australian with dirty blonde hair. She exchanges a glance with her colleague Laura, a redhead from New Zealand.

They start to walk back to their lodgings, trying to ignore the sergeant's glare. At first they gossip about the hospital and the handsome doctor. But halfway home, the nurses have to cut through a darkened alley. They stop talking and pick up their pace as they scurry through the shadowy lane. But someone is waiting for them.
