The boys moved up and stood waiting.
"I have checked the answers you gave to questions asked you when you were captured. You said an invasion will come at once. Why did you say that?"
Stan stared at the officer. "We didn't say any such thing," he answered evenly. He decided that the general had heard some of their conversation over the listening device.
"Sure, an' you got big ears, General," O'Malley said.
Stan kicked him on the shin. The general jumped and puffed out his chest. He fixed O'Malley with a cold glare.
"Pig! Fool! Keep a civil tongue in your head or you will regret it much."
"If you brought us here to get information, you will be disappointed, General," Stan said. "We will not talk."
"I brought you here to tell you that we intend to make you talk," the general barked. "I merely wished to warn you and then to let you have a little time to think it over."
"We are prisoners of war," Stan reminded him.
"The code provides for disciplining prisoners of war. We have some very effective methods. You will talk and be glad to. Now get out."
