At that point, the two Baker teams started studying the bases for being 'shadow men'.
The guys used to jokingly call it 'the advanced course of hide and seek'.
The colonel was an excellent 'shadow man', a real expert on the subject with years of experience in the field, but a very different experience from playing hide and seek at Fort Bragg, because he had learnt it the hard way, in the field, while taking first person risks.
Ryan – thought Trautman that day, while starting to explain.
My first murder in cold blood.
Forgetting that night was impossible for him.
Even though everything had gone smoothly that night, he and Garner had made several 'technical' mistakes while getting in that country-house.
With hindsight, they had been lucky... But with the Baker teams, it was going to be another story.
Trautman was going to make them get perfect.
