Here Comes the Cavalry

Help Desk, by Christopher B. Wright

Just a quick note -- if I had titled this piece "Here Comes the Calvary" this story would have taken a drastically different turn.

Comic Transcript

MARK: Well stand back guys, I'm about to --

FIRST MILITARY POLICEMAN: We're here for the prisoner.

MARK: The what? Who is that?

FIRST MILITARY POLICEMAN: Ehhh... we're here to pick up a civilian named Mark who, while not under arrest, is still instructed to come with us on an urgent matter of national security.

MARK: So I'm not a prisoner?

FIRST MILITARY POLICEMAN: No. Sorry about that.

MARK: So why did you call me one?

FIRST MILITARY POLICEMAN: Force of habit.
