Re: Ch. 10: Annopol
Bayer sat in the wheelhouse as the tug departed from Sandomierz. He quietly reworked the sentry roster and duty stations, but kept it as a tentative arrangement. Until he was informed of the newcomer's abilities he decided not to reorganize the duties... just fill in the new vacancies. Sanjay was his biggest question, was he all engineer or did he have any soldier skills, he wondered.
He was glad to be leaving Sandomierz. But at the same time he figured it would only be a little while until he missed the relative safety that the town offered. Shore leave couldn't be expected again any time soon. He tried to put Hicks out of his mind, refusing to accept anything without proof, and worried it would leave a lasting resistance on the team regarding accepting newcomers. Distrust and infighting amongst the team, Bayer feared more than the enemy.
Putting down his notepad, which listed the sentry duties, he thought about what he could do next. Anneka, Griet and even Mariusz were all excellent bookkeepers and quartermasters. Much of the important management issues were already being handled by them.
Without looking up, he asks Adam, "You ever pass Annopol before? Only one of the men has been there before."
