Homer turned to Lee. "If they start refuelling the planes before they find the bodies, we've got a chance to do some damage ..."
Lee cut in. "It'd have been better to wait till dark. But on the other hand, the planes are pouring in. There's a heap of them."
"By dark they might have found us anyway," said Homer. I think he mainly said it to make me feel better.
"Where are the other soldiers?" I asked. I knew Lee had gone to see what was happening. I wanted to know what he'd found.
