"Who the hell is Janos?" Bruce asked.
"The first lieutenant who broke his ankle," Dancy furnished.
"Well, we can hardly take his cast off one day and jump him in the next," , Bruce said.
"Janos was trained to go in to Mihajlovic," Dancy said. I "And we're not going to jump them in anyway," Charity said. Bruce snapped his head around to look at her. Charity smiled, and added, "Are we?".
"We may have to," Stevens said.
"With Dolan under the weather, I think we I have to leave him out of the equation. And that means there's no one but that ' young pilot... whatsisname?" i "Darmstadter," Helene Dancy furnished, i "Darmstadter," Stevens said,"... to fly the B-25. Which means either para| chuting them onto Vis or, for that matter, into Hungary, or sending them by ;| submarine." 1 "I can fly the B-25," Fine said. | "No," Bruce said.
"You're the control." | "Doug Douglass can fly the B-25," Charity said.
Bruce looked at her.
"He's not... assigned to us," he said.
"Can't that be arranged?" Charity asked.
"TDY or something?"
"We're getting ahead of ourselves," Fine said.
"The first decision that has to be made is about the team. Do we send in a Tito team?"
Charity looked at Colonel Stevens.
"No," Stevens said flatly.
"What's the difference Helene Dancy asked.
"For the men, none," Stevens said.
"But we will not send an officer on this who has been selected to go in to Tito."
"May I ask why, Sir?" Fine asked.
"No, I'm afraid I can't tell you, Stan," Stevens said.
Fine looked curious, but shrugged.
"It looks as though we're back to Janos," he said.
"And to flying him in rather than jumping him in, because of his ankle. And since I can't fly the B-25, we're also back to Douglass. May I ask that you reconsider, Sir, my flying the B25?"
"Out of the question," Bruce said.
"And we're not even sure of Janos," Stevens said.
"Helene, get the medical officer at Whithey House on the horn and get a report onjanos's ankle. Specifically, what shape he will be in when they take the cast off, and for how long."
"While she's doing that," Fine said, "what about transport of the team from here to Cairo? If they're going to Cairo?"
"What do you mean by that?" Stevens asked.
"I thought perhaps Malta," Fine said.
"Oh," Stevens said.
