Synopsis:  This is my first Rat Patrol story. After watching this episode, I just couldn’t help myself. Hitch was really asking for a big dose of H/C in this episode. I mean, come on, he rolled a jeep and then has a mortar shell explode only a couple of feet from him and doesn’t even get a scratch. Yeah, right! At least Troy had the decency to be unconscious, even if it was only for a minute, when the jeep rolled. So because I can, I have penned some alternative desert scenes for our three non-captive Rats and also because I can, I have continued the ending from where our boys drove off into the sunset, so to speak. All series dialogue is in italics. Enjoy. Rated:  G Word Count:  3507

Synopsis:    This is that missing scene that takes place immediately after Hitch collapses out of the jeep and before the scenes in the tent. All series dialogue is in italics.  Rated:  G Word Count:  4942
