Chosen Group

Alan and his team took their position at the fringes of the Blood Patriot camp, patiently awaiting the arrival of their new recruits. When a group of fifty individuals finally materialized in front of them, it wasn't exactly the kind of assembly Alan had hoped for. The selection was distinctly Sharon's handiwork. Her choice demonstrated not only her cunning but also a touch of mischief.

Alan's initial scan revealed women who seemed out of place in a combat situation, younger men who lacked the grit of experience, and older gentlemen whose best days seemed to be behind them.
