Thanks for the reviews! And KrOnIk-SpOoN, I've never heard of FOK. What is it?

And as for the CO's I'm getting, don't expect them to appear to soon, I have maybe a dozen (yes, it's true, I have posted this elsewhere too) CO's that are going in the story, so you may have to wait, allright?

BTW, be sure to describe the CO's personalities well, okay?

And MOTP, White Meteor have motives, but to explain that now would take away some of the suspense, wouldn't it?

Enjoy this chapter, it's a bit shorter than usual... And don't mind the chapter titles, they almost never make sense...

Uh, what was I doing again? Right, updating!

-The Heart Of Snow-

Chapter 4: Silence

......

A jeep was driving down the muddy, almost completely flooded road. It had to make its way through meter-high water, and the man who was standing on the passenger seat with a pair of binoculairs in his hands muttered loudly.

"Does it look like this all the way?" He asked his driver with a puzzling look on his face. He had battered, grey hair spread across his scalp, and he had those steel-grey eyes that seemed to cut through anything.

"Yes, commander Simon." The driver responded without taking his eyes of the road. "The enemy has flooded all major roads for several kilometres ahead, to prevent larger panzer units to advance"

"He wants to slow us down" Simon said, throwing an eye on the map he just took out from his breastpocket. "According to latest intel, the nearest Blue Moon-troops are stationed five kilometres from here. That's where the outer defense ring begins. He must stop us by it, cause once I'm through...hehe"

Simon smiled as the jeep crawled out of the mud. He folded the map and put it back in his breastpocket with a satisfied look on his face.

"You know, Grit will wake up tomorrow in a prison camp, and wonder what the hell hit him..."

....................

"You killed him!" Olaf yelled in Jasper's face, held back by six guards. "You bloody bastard! He was a child, dammit!"

"Put him back in the cell" Jasper muttered and lit another cigarrette. "Make sure that the surviving soldiers clean this friggin mess up"

"I'm going to kill you, Jasper!" Olaf screamed, struggling to get loose. "What should I say to his parents?!"

"Oh, don't worry about that, Olaf" Jasper said and smiled. He seemed to smile constantly. "I'll personally make sure that they get the message."

Olaf grinned, realizing that fighting wouldn't get him loose. He was dragged away, and threw a last look on Colin, who laid lifeless by the wall, together with dozens of other Blue Moon-soldiers.

Olaf cried out in despair, lone tears fell down his cheeks, and was caught up by his snow-white beard. Jasper laughed.

"Oh look, the old man's gone sentimental." He said, throwing away the cigarette and immidiately took out and lit a new one. "What's wrong, never seen a men of yours dead before? Hehe. See you tomorrow, Olaf. Executions at noon, as usual... Ha, ha, ha"

Olaf was pulled all the way back to his cell, and the guards threw him in, and one of them took his hat.

They spat on him before they left.
