That’s typical.” He looks over to where Vidal waits with his prisoner. “I’m going to check in with Sgt. Kat. See what you can find here and stay alert.” The Algerian para steps to the door and peeks out carefully, searching the farm yard before heading out.Vidal holds the MAT-49 to the back of the man’s neck as he pats him down. The Arab has grown quiet and still as the Portuguese para stands over him. Reaching a pocket of the man’s dungarees, Vidal withdraws a large folding knife – there is blood on the handle and the blade. As he bends down, he sees something else as well – under one of the beds a couple of meters away, a rifle. Search and Spot checks 14 each (taking 10).Marcel looks over Normand. The big man is covered in blood and dust. A shell fragment, or a piece of glass perhaps, has laid open Normand’s scalp just above his right eye – the wound is shallow but like all head wounds bled profusely. Working his way down the medic finds another laceration on Normand’s neck – the wound is shallow but without the ragged edges of the scalp lac, suggesting a bullet rather than a something jagged. It too has bled profusely but not as badly as it could have – a couple of centimeters toward midline and the round would have severed the carotid artery.There are some minor cuts and scrapes on Normand’s face and arms, but it’s under his arm that Marcel finds the most serious wound – a large shell fragment, buried in the tissue of the latissimus. Pulling a pair of forceps from his kit, the medic carefully withdraws the chunk of iron, covers the wound with a dressing, and wraps a bandage around Normand’s chest and shoulder to hold it in firmly place. He then sets about cleaning up the lesser wounds. Normand recovers 3 HP.As Marcel works, Normand studies the discoloration on the carpet in the entryway. The boxer has seen enough blood stains to recognize this one – more than that, he realizes that this particular bloodstain is a couple of hours old.</blockquote>
