I
noticed
a
dash
off
to
the
right
at
about
my
altitude
;
some
unfriendly
native
down
below
had
burned
what
was
probably
a
piece
of
my
egg
.
So
I
fired
my
first
chute
at
once
,
intending
if
possible
to
jerk
myself
right
off
his
screen
as
he
followed
the
targets
down
in
closing
range
.
I
braced
for
the
shock
,
rode
it
,
then
floated
down
for
about
twenty
seconds
before
unloading
the
chute
--
not
wishing
to
call
attention
to
myself
in
still
another
way
by
not
falling
at
the
speed
of
the
other
stuff
around
me
.
It
must
have
worked
;
I
was
n't
burned
.
About
six
hundred
feet
up
I
shot
the
second
chute
...
saw
very
quickly
that
I
was
being
carried
over
into
the
river
,
found
that
I
was
going
to
pass
about
a
hundred
feet
up
over
a
flat-roofed
warehouse
or
some
such
by
the
river
...
blew
the
chute
free
and
came
in
for
a
good
enough
if
rather
bouncy
landing
on
the
roof
by
means
of
the
suit
's
jump
jets
.
I
was
scanning
for
Sergeant
Jelal
's
beacon
as
I
hit
.
And
found
that
I
was
on
the
wrong
side
of
the
river
;
Jelly
's
star
showed
up
on
the
compass
ring
inside
my
helmet
far
south
of
where
it
should
have
been
--
I
was
too
far
north
.
I
trotted
toward
the
river
side
of
the
roof
as
I
took
a
range
and
bearing
on
the
squad
leader
next
to
me
,
found
that
he
was
over
a
mile
out
of
position
,
called
,
"
Ace
!
dress
your
line
,
"
tossed
a
bomb
behind
me
as
I
stepped
off
the
building
and
across
the
river
.
Ace
answered
as
I
could
have
expected
--
Ace
should
have
had
my
spot
but
he
did
n't
want
to
give
up
his
squad
;
nevertheless
he
did
n't
fancy
taking
orders
from
me
.
The
warehouse
went
up
behind
me
and
the
blast
hit
me
while
I
was
still
over
the
river
,
instead
of
being
shielded
by
the
buildings
on
the
far
side
as
I
should
have
been
.
It
darn
near
tumbled
my
gyros
and
I
came
close
to
tumbling
myself
.
I
had
set
that
bomb
for
fifteen
seconds
...
or
had
I
?
I
suddenly
realized
that
I
had
let
myself
get
excited
,
the
worst
thing
you
can
do
once
you
're
on
the
ground
.
"
Just
like
a
drill
,
"
that
was
the
way
,
just
as
Jelly
had
warned
me
.
Take
your
time
and
do
it
right
,
even
if
it
takes
another
half
second
.
As
I
hit
I
took
another
reading
on
Ace
and
told
him
again
to
realign
his
squad
.
He
did
n't
answer
but
he
was
already
doing
it
.
I
let
it
ride
.
As
long
as
Ace
did
his
job
,
I
could
afford
to
swallow
his
surliness
--
for
now
.
But
back
aboard
ship
(
if
Jelly
kept
me
on
as
assistant
section
leader
)
we
would
eventually
have
to
pick
a
quiet
spot
and
find
out
who
was
boss
.
He
was
a
career
corporal
and
I
was
just
a
term
lance
acting
as
corporal
,
but
he
was
under
me
and
you
ca
n't
afford
to
take
any
lip
under
those
circumstances
.
Not
permanently
.
But
I
did
n't
have
time
then
to
think
about
it
;
while
I
was
jumping
the
river
I
had
spotted
a
juicy
target
and
I
wanted
to
get
it
before
somebody
else
noticed
it
--
a
lovely
big
group
of
what
looked
like
public
buildings
on
a
hill
.
Temples
,
maybe
...
or
a
palace
.
They
were
miles
outside
the
area
we
were
sweeping
,
but
one
rule
of
a
smash
&
run
is
to
expend
at
least
half
your
ammo
outside
your
sweep
area
;
that
way
the
enemy
is
kept
confused
as
to
where
you
actually
are
--
that
and
keep
moving
,
do
everything
fast
.
You
're
always
heavily
outnumbered
;
surprise
and
speed
are
what
saves
you
.
I
was
already
loading
my
rocket
launcher
while
I
was
checking
on
Ace
and
telling
him
for
the
second
time
to
straighten
up
.
Jelly
's
voice
reached
me
right
on
top
of
that
on
the
all-hands
circuit
:
"
Platoon
!
By
leapfrog
!
Forward
!
"
My
boss
,
Sergeant
Johnson
,
echoed
,
"
By
leapfrog
!
Odd
numbers
!
Advance
!
"
