"Guseva!" their commander barked up and Nikita nearly jumped out of her skin. She grumbled gently and looked down from her watch post on the three.

"Ay, Sir!" She touched her forehead in a solute.

"Don't Sir me! Get down right this second!" He ordered and stomped impatiently in the ground. She cursed gently, but obeyed none the less.
As soon as her feet hit the ground he was shouting in her face "You lost them! Women! Can't do anything right! Go tell the man to find them before they get eaten!" He swung on his heals and disappeared into the camp.

The sound of voices some meters away was enough to make Claude stop in his tracks. "We aren't alone," he murmured.

"Uh, that's obvious," Fran said. She grabbed the flashlight. "I think we should hail them."

Nikita stared, and as words sunk in a sneer slowly twisted her face. Call the men, hu? Yeah, right. She had no idea who was lost, but she wasn't leaving them all alone to go and beg to someone else to save them.

A dim light pierced the trees. It was coming from down the river. She smiled. It wasn't that far away. She was going to collect them and bring them back. Their commander could eat his words. After all what was the worst that could happen?

Claude froze at the sound of footsteps. "Boots," he mouthed. Most people in these parts went about barefoot, or in slippers.

"Could be the military," Fran said.

"Or rebels."

The duo looked at their bags. Their scalpels wouldn't defend them well enough in a fight.
