Red sighed, but repressed his annoyance"It won't be too bad, kidYou just keep a tight ass-hole, and the rest of you'll take care of itself Wyman laughed quietlyHe liked Red, and decided he would stay near himThe trucks halted, and the men moved around inside, shifting their positions and groaning as they flexed their cramped limbsThey waited patiently, their heads dropping on their chests, their damp clothing unable to dry in the heavy night airThere was barely a breeze and they felt tired and sleepy Goldstein was beginning to fidgetAfter the trucks had remained motionless for five minutes, he turned to Croft and asked, "Sergeant, is it all right if I get out and take a look at what's holding us up?"
