The truck stops, along with Alfa squad and Bravo squad. Prison transport trucks follow behind. They all proceed to jump out of the truck. The Sergeants in each squad move toward the stand-off point, going to talk to the NVA officers.
Sergeant Bradley: "There was a delay, one of your 'friends' left a tree in our way."
NVA Officer: "You Americans may not realize it was perhaps your doing."
Sergeant Baker: "Cut the crap, where's our POW's?"
NVA Officer: "They'll be here shortly, and four our imprisoned men?"
Sergeant Bradley: "You'll get them when we get ours.
The two Sergeants walk back while the NVA officer stands stern. Some NVA soldiers are cutting down trees in the jungles around the stand-off point for an unknown reason.
Dan holds his weapon firmly. "God damn gooks" he says. He sees some NVA soldiers, leaning on a wall, staring at him. Dan lifts his hand and forms a gun with it and pretends to pick off the NVA. They spit on the ground and back behind one of the stolen US M135 trucks.
"I'm not sure about you guys, but this doesn't feel right. We should just grab our men when they get here, kill them all, and our prisoners."
