Halt looked around the clearing, it was dark but he could definitely see forms moving around. He knew they were Rangers. He looked around at the Rangers sitting at the fire. After Will he had caught seventeen more Rangers making a total of forty one Rangers, they were all asleep except for Will who was still tied up against the tree. Halt stood and raised his bow, immediately two of the forms moving in the shadows dove into cover and the others froze. Halt shot five arrows at the still forms and listened to the five cries that signaled the arrows had hit their marks.
"You're all found! Bring back the arrows!" Halt called as he sat down. He watched as the five Rangers walked up to the fire with limps or holding their arms where the arrows had hit them. They each dropped the arrow that hit them by Halt.
"Do we get any coffee?" A dark haired Ranger asked as he dropped his arrow at Halt's feet. Halt looked up at him.
"No," Halt said calmly. The Ranger sighed and went to sit by the four others that had been hit.
Halt stood. There were only four Rangers left and two of them had a surprise waiting for them. Halt rolled his neck and yawned, the effects of thirty cups of coffee were wearing off and he was growing tired. He bent down and retrieved his bow and arrows; he had to get the two Rangers that were hidden in bushes before he could go after Gilan and Crowley. Halt started walking towards his tent; he crawled in with his bow and arrows. As soon as he was inside the tent he saw two figures rushing towards the packs that were still on the ground. Halt dived out of his tent and by the time he was back on his feet he had one arrow on its way towards one Ranger and in another second another arrow was flying through the air. Two startled cries escaped the victims as they crashed to the ground.
"Found you!" Halt yelled before he turned towards the forest. It was time to hunt some Rangers.
"Quick! Get the coffee and make some!" He heard a Ranger whisper loudly as he disappeared into the shadows. Suddenly he was glad he had switched the coffee grounds with dirt before he had left.
Okay so that's it until I get more votes on whether Crowley or Gilan should be captured first. Note: that doesn't mean that the other one will win, remember that Halt may win if he catches them before half a day passes. Please review
