Distrust - Part 1

"Now, disperse with this crowd," Lombard demanded, his voice hardening into his usual commanding tone. "You two," he said, gesturing towards Beam and Judas. "You will follow us back to camp and begin your work immediately.

Angrith saluted stiffly. "Sir!" And then he moved off to do as he was told.
