Her fingers soon abandoned the cold metal as they started to run along the side of an envelope. She stared at her mother's writing, her mind recalling the best moments in her life.

She muttered, keeping her voice down as the men amongst them chatted about what was going on in the world at the moment. "Where's the Vistula River?" Buck unknowingly interrupted. Bucky turned his head to find a map quickly, scanning across it as he looked for his target. "Vistula, Vistula.." He spoke to himself, sucking in a breath through his teeth. At last, he finally found it. He placed his index finger by it as he announced where it was located.
"That's what, 450 miles?"

Crank pitched in, his eyes looking to Marilyn's as she nodded in agreement. "There's one other scenario. They force-march us out of here before the Russkies can set us free." Buck blurted out, his own anxiety starting to get the best of him as he realized his chances of getting home to Marge were slim.
