Battle Shock

~Rustle! Rustle!~

The bushes and tree leaves all shook ever so slightly as Josh and his men stealthily made their way up to Tilda's cottage. 

And only after having gone up halfway up did they abandon their stealthiness, opting to move more freely.

Come on! Come on! 

There was only so much time that one could utilize before the enemy became bold.

This was no Pyno, for heaven's sake!

If they were to dilly dally all night, best believe that the enemy would soon discover the presence of intruders, linking it somehow to tonight's operation.

Josh glanced upwards before focusing at the site before him again. 

Dammit!

They had approximately 20 minutes left to rescue Tilda, put her in their arranged disguise, and leave the scene before the Air force teams blew the cottage into smithereens.

They had to cover all tracks and even blow down the bodies of any they kill now.
