[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2423070, member: 26473"] Sgt. Katsourianis is attentive as Marcel gives his report – Sgt. Müller listens as well while Vidal raises the camp on the section radio. The Greek section leader looks west, where the sun hangs suspended, it’s lower limb separated from the hills by a sliver of blue, then glances at the big steel chronograph on his wrist. [color=sienna]“Sunset is about ten minutes away, Hans,”[/color] says Kat to the [i]sergent-chef[/i]. [color=sienna]“It’ll be dark not long after. If they’re still on the farm, they may be waiting to slip away in the night.”[/color] Müller gazes at the farm in silence. When Vidal gets a response on the radio, the German taps him on the shoulder and holds out his hand for the Motorola. [color=sienna]“Tango 3, get the lieutenant,”[/color] he snaps. Müller glances at the wounded [i]gendarme[/i] before he replies, [color=sienna]“They’re probably long gone. Headed for the hills.”[/color] [color=sienna]“[i]Tango 31, Tango 3...port.[/i]”[/color] The voice is Lt. Ramadier’s, broken and faint over the small section radio. Müller keys the mic. [color=sienna]“Sir, we’ve found a [i]gendarmerie[/i] jeep with three KIA, one WIA, approximately seven kilometers west of town. [i]Gendarmes[/i]’ weapons are missing.
