Duval is still with Vidal and the corpse back at the location of the original line, something like this:Sgt. Duval - Vidal - dead guy <------------ about 60m -----------> wounded prisoner and everyone elseSunlight is striking the tops of the mountains now, turning their grey bulk into a riot of ochre and cream and rusty red. Sgt. Duval slowly scans the area with a pair of binoculars as Vidal searches the dead man. The sergent-chef lowers the glasses and reaches for the radio handset carried on Vidal’s back. “Trident this is Hourglass…Trident this is Hourglass…Trident this is Hourglass…” He listens carefully, glances at his watch, then returns the handset to its carrier.“Find anything?” the jumpmaster asks the radioman.____As Marcel walks toward the jumpmaster and his radio, Sgt. Neumann speaks up. “Dinter, Berg, Gonzalez, bring the parachutes here,” he orders. “Mador, Kerenin, you stand sentry. Watch for anything moving out there. Martinez, go to Sgt. Duval, tell him we have a fell.”Lavareaux bends down over the prisoner lying on the sand. “What are you doing out here, fellagha? Hmm?” asks the caporal-chef coldly. The Muslim closes his eyes and doesn’t answer. Lavareaux straightens up, raises one knee, and drives his jump boot straight down on the Muslim’s wound. The prisoner lets out a yelp followed by a moan through clenched teeth.</blockquote>
