He 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?"
Croft snorted"You can stay right here, GoldsteinThey ain't none of us gonna be getting up and getting lost on purpose
Goldstein felt himself flush"I didn't mean anything like that," he said"I just thought it might be dangerous for us chanel red black handbag to be sitting here like this when there might be Japs aroundHow do we know why the trucks stopped?"
Croft yawned and then lashed him in a cold even voice"I tell you what, you're going to have enough things to worry aboutSuppose you just set down and beat your meat if you're gettin' anxiousI'll do all the goddam masterminding There was a snicker from some of the men in the truck, and Goldstein was hurtHe decided he disliked Croft, and he brooded over all the sarcastic things Croft had said to him since he had been in the platoon
The trucks started again, and moved jerkily in low gear for a few hundred yards before they stopped

After a few minutes they halted again, and somebody in the rear of the truck tried to light a cigarette"Put the goddam thing out," Croft snapped
The soldier was in another platoon and he swore at Croft"Who the hell are you? I'm tired of just waiting around
"Put that goddam thing out," louis vuitton speedy 30 Croft said again, and after a pause, the soldier snuffed itCroft was feeling irritable and nervousHe had no fear but he was impatient and overalert
