Sheba (left, leader of the Swimming Pool Gang) says,
"Dig in boys, we have to soldier hard tonight."
Lt. Gus checks out an abandoned enemy position
on the southern part of the perimeter. No sign of him.
Lt Buddy says, "OK Captain Sheba, I'm off to take a concealed
position on the eastern side. I'll be there ready for rapid ambush if you need me."
Captain Sheba and Lt Gus observe from cover on the western flank.
The enemy shows his face, and the Swimming Pool Gang tense for action.
Before Captain Sheba can say, "Lt. Gus (after all you are my brother) be careful,"
Gus salutes (with his tail) and is off to attack, his blood still up, his
whole body still smarting from the wound on his head from yesterday's fight.
The enemy cat saw both Gus and Buddy moving towards him and decided to leave
the field of action, over the east wall of campus and into the shadows of the
neighborhood beyond. Meanwhile, Sheba and Gus consolidate a more forward
position--the smoking shelter that oversees the main avenue of approach and wait.
