Blog 2 of going after Cacciato
Summary-the author was telling us how they take post at night, they divide the night into 5 sections, and then 5 of the soldiers take each section of time. they did this so they knew if someone was after them at night, and also in case Cacciato was on the move during the night. one night while Stink was on guard, he heard something, so he snuck up on it and it happened to be Cacciato. he almost caught him, but he got away by biting and hurting Stink. the rest of the night and most of the next day, they other troups were bandaging him up and letting him heal a little. then they were on their way after Cacciato once again. the group o soldiers found his trail and followed it. as they were following it, they ran into an open place where water buffolo were standing. this caught Stink by surprise and by reaction, he started shooting, suddenly they heard something like girls crying. they went behind some bushes and found 2 old ladies and one young one. the young one said they were refugees and the other 2 were her aunts. she also said the buffolo were her aunt's buffolo, which they raised since they were born. then they wanted to go with the soldiers, and they finally let into letting them come. every night the 2 older women would weep for their lost water buffolo. on the good side though, the buffolo still alive, they got to travel on them. once again the 6 soldier were chacing after cacciato. they went through the jungle, over the mountains, and through deserted towns. one day they found Cacciato again. he was on the top of a hill, so they soldiers surrounded him. they couldn't close in on him, since he would be able to exscape in the large gaps, so they stayed back farther and waited for him to surrender. then at night he exscaped anyways, and took the girl that was with the soldiers. then we found out the reason why Cacciato was heading to paris. he was older guy, was sick of the war, and just always wanted to go to paris. next they think they caught him again, they thought they had him trapped in a hotel. they went into the room he supposeably was in and oscar ran in to the room and couldn't stop shooting. he was going crazy. the room was empty though, and they found where he was camping on the out skirts of town. he left them a note that said "heading west" . so Cacciato and the girl escaped again, and that was the end.
