It was still afternoon, but Shane decided to take a look outside because he wanted to figure out how far the Military had progressed.
There was not much he could see from his window, but it was obvious that there were more than the usual number of guards patrolling the shelter. Some of them had even rushed towards the central area.
Shane believed that the military had already arrived and that they took the lead of the shelter.
According to Uncle Lars, they would let the shelter captain step back `voluntarily`, which was as good as getting thrown out according to Shane's understanding of his Uncle's words.
As such, Shane thought that everything would either work out or that the shelter captain would link him to the military's sudden appearance, which might cause him a slight disadvantage.
