The 1950's Dax

June, 1953, Korea

Sidney Freedman entered the tent of his Watcher, Father Mulcahy. But there was a desperate enemy soldier hiding inside.

When the shots were heard, the man was captured. Thinking quickly, Colonel Potter kept everyone out of the Padre's tent, til the Immortal shrink could revive.

The 2000-year old man, first killed by Kronos on the night of Herod's Slaughter, saw Potter staring down at him.

"Sherm? Did anyone see me die?"

"Nope. Not a soul."

Freedman nodded, thankful to have kept his head.

"Thank God. I'd hate to have to start a new life this late in the war."
