. What the hell do you mean enter the tunnels - that's the worst idea I can think of! Hell, if we try that foolhardy act, we might as well march down ...o Mike and surrender."She gives me a defiant look and explains, "Ben, Ivan is still in the tunnels and he's scared. I told him to be calm because we would come and get him."Shit! Talk about being between a rock and a proverbial hard place. I ask, "How the hell did the greenies miss him?" I thought for a moment and continue before Destiny can. I pulled the shower curtain across and started the water. As it reached the right temperature coming out the taps, I switched the lever. I winced as the first few seconds was the head of cold water left in the pipe before the fresh warm stuff arrived. As I lathered up, the shower curtain billowed and I heard the toilet lid lift. Anna was in the bathroom, I smiled and rinsed, then stopped the shower. The curtain pulled back a little and a naked smiling Anna appeared. ‘I got your towel, come on. But somewhere from deep in the dead forest, came a sound. An inhuman cry of anguish. It echoed in the starry sky filling the air with the gurgling pain of something. The sound did indeed come from a human. A man infact. Yes a man by the name of Louku lay in pain on the snowy earth. He was chained to a tree by shackles at his wrists and ankles. His hair was dark brown and dirty from his days in captivity. He looked strong and handsome, but bruises littered his body making his tanned skin look. My arrival into the street drew a shout of alarm from off to my right. I quickly spun in that direction bringing my bow up as I did. I saw a small troop of armed men running towards me. They were local guardsmen and they were all armed with spears and long knives. Instantly I let loose with my arrow at the man leading the group. They were running at me and they were only about sixty feet away.My arrow dropped the first man easily. He let out a sudden cry as he was hit. The impact of the arrow.
