"What do you reckon happened to her?" a voice spoke out from the dark.
"It looks like she fell and hit her head," another male voice answered the first.
"Oh really?" The first voice retorted sarcastically. "You think so? I'd never have guessed that."
The second man's response came in the form of an indignant huff.
"Anyone else have any more brilliant ideas?" The first man asked.
The silence was deafening.
"Well, it wasn't an accident, obviously, right?" the first man continued.
"Now, we can't be sure of that," a third man said.
"Look, I'm not being funny," the first man continued, "But people covered with bruises who wind up unconscious in the middle of the forest probably don't do it on their own, now do they?"
Again, there was silence.
"Well, we'll find out soon enough," the third man said. After a pause, he continued, "How is she?"
A fourth person responded, this time it was a woman with a Saracen accent. "It's hard to be sure with head injuries. We can't know until she wakes up."
"All right," the third man said. "You heard her. Let's go, lads."
Rustling and shuffling could be heard, followed by several brief good-byes and good-lucks and then all was quiet as the darkness encroached once more.
