"Great, why don't you guys come with us?" Fred extended the invitation, not only out of gratefulness but also because he sensed their strength. He knew he couldn't protect all the people with him alone, so he needed extra help. Although he never entertained the thought that Kisha and the others might be bad people, he remained vigilant.
"Alright, I'll consult with my group first to hear their thoughts on this," Kisha nodded.
She and the others stepped aside, allowing the new arrivals some space, and gathered in a corner to confer among themselves.
"We'll be delayed if we travel with these people," Duke remarked, his brows knitted together so tightly they could have crushed a fly. He had overheard Kisha's conversation with Fred and found himself in disagreement. He believed they would only become encumbered, especially considering their current time constraints.
