The new recruits, mostly women, retreated after much hesitation. Two people remained and walked back on Nik's side of the bridge.
"Get moving!" Nik yelled once more.
"We want to help!" said the only man.
"Our friend's still missing." replied the woman.

At the same that he started giving pointers on how to defend and attack as a group, Bartolome shouted with all his might from his side. He said, "Get on the van!"
