As Hugh walked back to the platoon, he kept his attention on the guard at all times. He had to be alert and be a guard at all times.
He did not have any time or place to breathe a sigh of relief. This did not give him the result that he wanted.
As he saw the platoon, he first noticed the petite soldier at the very back of the line. Even when she was at the back, Hugh could recognize her form a mile away.
She was the only one who had a sense of balance and grade to her march, and it gave her the distinction that Hugh needed to recognize her.
Even though she had her helmet on her head, Hugh and Serena had eye contact with each other. Serena flinched, and the first thing that she wanted to do was go and run towards Hugh.
However, Serena realized that Hugh's expression was rattled. He did not seem very excited to come back. When she looked at Hugh's eyes, she saw that he looked to the side.
