'The third?!'
In a single moment, my mood went from relatively satisfied one to an extremely bad one.
Was this just a normal shot? But it was close enough to consider it a signal!
And were all three shots combined in one, successive series? Or were the last two separate from the third one?
In the safety and height of her position on the hill, Fay had much better outlook at the situation than anyone anywhere near the camp did. And that's what made our ability to somewhat communicate so valuable…
Or so it would, if I wasn't desperate to figure out whether Fay was trying to tell me something or if she was simply helping with the fight.
'Was this a warning about a new threat? Or the order for a general retreat? Or maybe it was nothing at all?'
Unable to decide, I had to do something.
