Will Bonner<br />

making a menacing movement with his pistol.<br />

"Get on your knees and put your hands behind your head," he ordered. Will<br />

did as he was told, as he felt the pinpoints of shot in his leg burning, and he was<br />

quickly checked for weapons. "What do you have to say for yourself now?"<br />

"Just one thing. What's it feel like to have less intelligence than a bird dog?"<br />

referring to the dog's ability to track him down. Will felt the full force of gorilla<br />

man's army boot in his side, sending him rolling in pain amongst the pine needles.<br />

He rolled over and looked up.<br />

"You're a bigger pig and bully than I called you before!" Will shouted, rolling<br />

over again to try to avoid another kick as he felt the boot glance off his shoulder<br />

and across his cheek, followed by several more blows as he lay on the ground.<br />

They were sharp and short on contact and Will realized that he was being hit with<br />

the pistol and he was scared stiff that the gun would go off. Finally, crawling<br />

temporarily out of harms way, he half sat up in a daze as the farmer spoke again<br />

in a rich southern accent.<br />

"They Limey's are sure divils for punishment, ain't they?" But his voice was<br />

hesitant and uncertain, indicating that he was not too happy with what was going<br />

Will interjected. "I've been shot in the leg by him," pointing to the farmer.<br />

The farmer was taken aback and pointing to gorilla man, shouted. "You told<br />

me he was a spy!"<br />

Gorilla man went berserk, and shouted profanities at the jeep driver. "Get<br />

back to the jeep, I'll deal with you later!"<br />

"Yes Sir." The young soldier disappeared quickly down an incline nearby.<br />

The M.P's took Will by the arms and pulling him to his feet forced him in the<br />

direction that the jeep driver had taken. Every step was a painful experience and<br />

trying to negotiate the incline he fell once again, rolling down to the bottom of the<br />

slope, stopping only a few yards from the jeep, which was parked on a track<br />

leading to the water's edge.<br />

The two young M.P's were seated in the front of the vehicle and Will was<br />

picked up and thrown into the well section face downwards, between the front and<br />

rear seats. The two older M.P's jumped into the back seat using Will as a foot<br />
