314 First Encounter (7)

The men waited in the shop counting the minutes until sunrise, when an hour into the wait they saw their Commander's rover driving down the street.

What is he still doing on the roads!?

"Sir…"

"Hold positions!" He cursed himself for taking off his wristband, he couldn't get incontact Ailwin.

Just as Braeden was contemplating walking out of the shop, Ailwin's rover drove off.

"Sir, isn't the Commander in danger?"

"Yes….but he is still in a better condition than we are. We will wait, if he comes back around they will make our move then."

"Yes, sir." The men felt their confidence increasing, their Commander's rover had enough space for all of them to fit inside.

However, two hours later they felt their hopes slowly simmering back down.

"Sir." The squad leader called from the back of the room.
