I try to understand the meaning behind his words and figure he's just pulling my leg. I shake it off and pay attention to the woods around us. After a few minutes of walking, I see fruit! I lift my hand and point, causing Thane and Conner to nod and change course.
As we get to the tree, I see that it's pears! Not the greatest but it was something. Conner spins his gun around and starts climbing up the tree. It wasn't very high so it wasn't hard for him. I stand under the tree with an open bag, ready for him to drop them down.
As he starts dropping the pears, Thane keeps an eye on the surrounding area but when I see him tense, I turn to see him looking over my shoulder. This time I tense as I slowly turn to look. All I see are empty woods...
But as I frown in confusion, something suddenly stands out to me. It's silent... Not a single bird chirp... not even a breeze. It's like the whole area around us was suddenly holding its breath, waiting.
