Esther speaks in a very calm and easy tone.There’s a smile in her voice.Like she’s talking Jos through an equipment maintenance drill.First turn off the power, then apply the lubricating fluid, then adjust the belt using the tightening screw.One thing, then the next.This is how it has to go.She says, You saw that he had a gun in the side pocket of his coat, and he was reaching for it.He had already committed an act of violence against us.You perceived a clear and present danger.He reached for the gun and you used proportionate force to stop him.It’s simpler to understand this way.He was holding his gun, she says.He was about to fire it. She looks around the circle of young women, meeting each of their eyes in turn.Tegan says, Yes, that’s what happened.I saw him reach for his gun.Jocelyn looks at the gun, clasped in the cooling fingers.Some of the NorthStar people carry their own unregistered sidearms.Her mom had to get the New York Times to pull a piece about it, on the grounds that it would threaten homeland security.Maybe he had that gun in his back pocket.Maybe he was going to turn it on them.But if they had guns, why were they using bats?Esther clasps a hand on Jocelyn’s shoulder.You’re a hero, soldier, she says.It gets easier to tell the story the more she does it.Hadn’t she seen something metal in one of their pockets?Couldn’t it have been a gun?Maybe that’s why she let off her blast.Yes, she probably did know.She smiles on the television news.I don’t feel like a hero.Anyone would have done the same.Oh, come on, says Kristen.I couldn’t have done it.Matt laughs and says, I couldn’t even have watched!He’s very attractive, a good ten years younger than Kristen.The network had found him.Just trying something out.While we’re at it, Kristen, why don’t you wear your glasses onscreen now, it’ll give you gravitas.We’re going to see how the numbers play out this way.Well, your mom must be very proud, Jocelyn.She knows part of the story, but not the whole thing.It’s given her leverage with the Defense Department in rolling out the NorthStar training camp scheme for girls across all fifty states.The army is fond of Margot Cleary.And with all that’s going on in the news, says Matt, this war in Eastern Europe, what is that about?It’s great to know that we have young women like you ready to defend the country.
