Phoenix worked his way further south with each trip. He got closer and closer to the interesting mark the Soviet Captain of the patrol boat had made on his chart of the river: three linked circles inside a point down triangle. When they rounded the last bend in the river before the indicated area, all they saw was a single boat on the Vistula River. The boat was a Viking Yacht. For an image of the boat, please refer to: http://vikingyachts.com/45conv/45c_imgs.asp
Three young, attractive, scantily clad women came up on the yacht's deck when they heard the engine noise. The girls were surprised when they saw the crew of the Wisla Krolowa were not the Soviets, whom they clearly had done business with in the past. But they recovered quickly and started primping their hair, licking their lips, and shouting encouragements in Polish. Phoenix ordered Jason and the boarding crew to sweep the girl's boat. The girls started crying when Jason and the rest of the boarding party jumped aboard their boat. They knew they were in big trouble. The three circles from the map probably indicated the girls; the point down triangle their boat.
Phoenix let his men have fun with the women because he was disappointed there wasn't more of value at this location.
Owl, Hawk, and Eagle were chosen to use the girls. They took the girls below decks. Owl took his girl into the engine room, Hawk took his to the crew quarters, and Eagle took his into the Captain's cabin.
Owl's girl was chesty. She bounced down the stairs, and barely fit through the hatch to the engine room. Her white tank top and pink skirt showed off her nice body. Owl had qualified as an expert marksman. He is very proud he hit 39 out of 40 target exposures. As the girl walked into the engine room, Owl sang "I want to fuck you like an animal. I want to feel you from the inside." He pushed her down on her hands and knees. She looked back at him as she lifted her skirt up to her waist, but he pushed her face so she looked forward. He didn't want her to see his special homemade killing garrote. It is made of two galvanized six penny nails and a meter long length of wire. Owl had enjoyed killing three sentries with his garrote, but he was looking forward to killing her even more. He moved her hair out of the way, and wrapped the garrote twice around her neck. Owl held the nails in his right hand while he used his left to hold her still. The 2 mm diameter wire cut in her neck. Blood flowed. The wire blocked the flow of blood in the main artery to her brain. Her brain began to die. Owl knew she wouldn't last long, so he had her quickly. He started with deep, driving thrusts. She tried to get her hands up to her neck, but that put the weight of her torso onto her neck, causing the wire to bite in deeper. The woman reached out like she was going to try to grab something, but no help was in reach. Owl banged faster and harder. She was randomly jerking and spasming when he came. He didn't unwrap the garrote until he was sure she was dead.
Hawk and Eagle are black guys, former US Marines. Phoenix has reluctantly admitted he didn't like blacks much before the war. But that was more from ignorance then anything else. Phoenix really just didn't hang out with any people of color before he entered the army. Race, nationality, or gender doesn't matter much anymore. Skill, intelligence, and loyalty are qualities Phoenix requires of his men (or women). Hawk and Eagle had these qualities. They are also as strong as bulls.
Hawk hauled his girl down the stairs. He shoved her to the hatch to the crew quarters. Hawk heaved the girl on the bunk. The bright white smile she had flashed when she got aboard the patrol boat faded a little. She could feel the power in his muscles. Hawk has shrapnel scars on his right forearm from a Soviet 120 mm mortar round that caught him out in the open. She tried to be friendly, growing a little more scared each time he was rough with her. She smiled suddenly; perfect white teeth contrasted with her tan skin. She slapped her own butt and growled "Owww", then she bent over his lap, expecting him to spank her. Hawk sat her up. He put one of his hands on her neck, and one on her breast. His face changed; his lips curled. He put both of his hands on her neck and squeezed. Only someone as powerful as Hawk could keep up such a tight grip for so long. She kicked and struggled in vain. With darkness closing in she tried to struggle, but Hawk was too strong. She lifted her legs up into her chest and started crying. Hawk didn't squeeze too hard; he didn't want to crush her throat. It took over four minutes for her to die. When she was dead, Hawk stripped off his BDU pants. He laid her on her left side on the bunk and stood behind her. He thrust deep into her. Her flesh rippled with the power of the strokes. Her ass moved back and forth, her breasts bobbed up and down, and her head nodded yes. Hawk banged his hips against hers, pounded into her, until he spewed his sperm into her.
Eagle brought his girl down to the Captain's cabin. His girl was a short redhead, covered in freckles, with some sunburn on her nose and forehead. Perhaps sensing the danger, she was desperate to please. She was loud and enthusiastic in her efforts to convince him to let her live. She forced a smile on her face. She put one hand down the front of her cut off shorts and stroked herself, purring loudly. Eagle shook his head no. She bent over, wiggling off her shorts, and stuck her finger up her ass. She was a natural redhead. Eagle shook his head no again. She sat on the floor and sucked on her finger, looking up at Eagle with big, wide open eyes. He nodded yes, and stood over her. She started giving him head, but she was desperate and clumsily went too fast. Eagle rammed his head down her throat, making her gag. She looked up at him in fear. He liked that. Eagle thrust his penis down her throat, half choking her, over and over until he came. She swallowed the great globs as best she could. Eagle brought her up on deck of the Wisla Krolowa. He grabbed the used barrel of the DShK machine gun he had finished replacing. Eagle smashed her left leg, and as she screamed and grabbed her ruined knee, he brought the heavy steel rod down on her other knee. She screamed louder and stared at him. Eagle threw her overboard. She never got a good breath of air - she glubbled, struggled and flailed her milk white arms, then she sank.
Of course, that isn't what really happened. The girls were surprised when they saw the crew of the Wisla Krolowa were not the Soviets, with whom they clearly had done business with in the past. But they recovered quickly and started primping their hair, licking their lips, and shouting encouragements in Polish. Phoenix ordered Jason and the boarding crew to sweep the girl's boat. The girls remained out of the way, and blew kisses to the port side weapon operators. Jason didn't find any weapons, nor a radio aboard the yacht.
1 Phoenix doesn't kill civilians unless he needs to. By this time, the line between civilians and any armed group was very blurred. Anyone who was not armed would often be savaged by those who were. Civilians would be fearful of everyone. They would try to hide, and their furtive movements would look very suspicious. When the soldiers would try to investigate the potential threat, the civilians would run, confirming the innocent civilians were up to something. It is a mess. Phoenix has a great deal of personal honor. He keeps his word, treats his men decently, and is gentle with Rachgee and Mira. His men are mercenaries, not marauders - they kill people for profit, yes, but they try to act as decently as they can. Phoenix can be touchy about people who give "aid, comfort, or succor" to his enemies. But the girls were not a threat. These girls were just trying to make a living.
2 What Hawk is described as doing is not realistic. If someone tried to wrap their hands around a woman's throat while face to face and she did not want him to, and she wasn't restrained, she could easily inflict serious wounds to her attacker in her efforts to defend herself. She could hit her attacker with a ridge hand to the temple or something similar if she had been trained in martial arts. If she was not surprised or drunk, she could easily strike the throat or nose area. A broken nose causes the eyes to tear, and can take the fight out of someone quickly. A woman defending herself could also use her thumb to gouge out her attacker's eyes. She could also kick him or raise her knee into his groin. Women might be somewhat weaker physically, but they are not helpless, and in fighting for their lives they can inflict grievous wounds on a would be attacker.
Phoenix let his men have fun with the women. He gave orders that the women were to be paid for their services - the girls would do a better job if properly motivated. The men paid them with a small part of their personal "booty". Phoenix and Jason did not partake; they had better women waiting for them at base. Bull's Eye and Stevens remained on guard. Mother Hen, who was married and had three kids whom he desperately hoped were alive, abstained also. (Mother Hen follows Phoenix in no small part because Mother Hen knows Phoenix is his best chance to get home.)
Afterward, the men were tired, but happy. The women were tired, happy, wealthier, and sore. The whores looked nervous after the had done all the guys that were interested. The women were probably wondering what would happen to them next. Phoenix had Jason escort them onto their boat, and cast off without taking their valuables, or their lives.
Phoenix had an even bigger target in mind. On the river map, the Soviet Captain had put many marks on the town of Torun. The marks near Port Zimowy and Park Miejski looked particularly interesting. Some thirty or forty of them were tightly grouped circles, which probably indicated women, but there were other notations as well. Written on the map in this area was "prucznic+", which Phoenix thought was Russian for lieutenant. Maybe there were officers to capture. Debriefing them would provide Phoenix with valuable information, like river defenses and convoy schedules. Phoenix planned to bring the Wisla Krolowa a few kilometers from Torun, then lead a small party ashore aboard the raft to scout out the area before he committed the patrol boat.
