The Fighting Agents (Men at War 4) - Page 150

"They'll need four hours."

"Why so long?

"Charity asked.

"They don't have very much of the proper paper for the photographs," Dancy explained.

"We have to use their paper; it produces a characteristic grain, and image flatness. The Hungarian is different from the Yugoslavian.

And the only place we can get it is on the local black markets. It is also lousy paper, and it takes that much time to be sure. In case they have to print the photographs twice, or even three times."

"But they will be able to come up with what we need?" David Bruce asked.

"Probably in forty-five minutes," Helene Dancy said.

"I'm using the worst possible scenario."

"Have -we got a team to photograph?" Fine asked.

"They have all been photographed, Stanley," Helene Dancy said.

"Several times, in work clothes, suits, even in Black Guard uniforms. Printing is the problem."

"That's not what I really meant," Pine said.

"I'll rephrase. Is a team available?

If there is more than one available, which is the better of them?"

"I was out there when this came up, Stanley," Colonel Stevens said.

"There are two teams finished with training, one in the last week."

"Did Jamison give you any indication which was better?" Fine asked.

"There is a problem," Stevens said.

"The teams that have finished their training have been trained to go in to Tito, not Mihajlovic."

"God!" Bruce said. There were two major guerrilla forces in Yugoslavia.

Colonel Draza Mihajlovic led a force of Royalists, and Josip Broz, who called himself "Tito," led a larger force of Communists.

"It was necessary, David," Stevens said.

"We had to appear evenhanded, and that meant sending teams to Tito."

"What about the team in training?" Bruce asked.

"Mihajlovic," Stevens said.

"But it's a communications team. No specific training for something like this."

"What about Janos?" Helene Dancy asked.

"When does he get out of his cast?"

"Friday," Charity said.
