"Hey. You ok?" Asked Baines as Walman came round.
"Yeah, I think so. Just remind me not to upset crazed criminals anytime soon." Answered Walman, before noticing the lifeless body lying close by. "What happened?"
"He lost his usefulness." Answered Cameron.
"Perhaps we could discuss this later and plan our escape now." Suggested Morgan.
"You were the one who didn't want to escape." Said Baines.
"Well that was before he said we were all going to die anyway and before he started placing explosives round camp. I figure we have nothing to loose now that we won't loose anyway."
"One less of them now as well. And they are a bit distracted since the Terrians showed up." Said Cameron.
"Terrians?" Asked a confused Walman, before Cameron motioned his head in the direction of the Terrians.
As Walman struggled to sit up he said. "Morgan can you move slightly closer to me."
"I guess. Why?"
"So I can cut loose your bonds. The others are too far away. So I will do you first then you can do Cameron." Explained Walman.
As Morgan shifted over Walman asked, "So has anyone thought of a plan?"
"I reckon our best bet is to wait till they are distracted and rush to the pile of our stuff they are making over there. There are a couple of handguns on top of the pile we can use." Suggested Cameron.
Just as Walman had cut through Morgan's restraints Bruce emerged from a tent, causing Walman to conceal his knife. Bruce's attention however was directed at the women. As he reached them he roughly pulled Devon to her feet. "Time to review your maps. Come with me."
"No. Leave her alone." cried Uly, as he jumped up and kicked Bruce in the shins.
"That was really stupid." Said Bruce as he released his grip on Devon and drew his holstered gun, aiming towards Uly.
Devon's scream was drowned out by ground around them shaking whilst Terrian hands erupted from the soil and grabbed the lower legs of Bruce before he was pulled into the ground, releasing his own scream.
"Morgan now is our chance you are the only one free, you are going to have to get the gun."
"Me. I can't use a gun. Besides maybe the Terrians will take care of the others."
"Or maybe they won't and instead we will be killed and Bess kidnapped. Now go." Hissed Walman.
As Morgan sprinted towards the handgun, Slater and Miles ran towards Devon to find out what had happened to Bruce. As Morgan reached the handgun, Miles noticed the movement and quickly turned towards Morgan, gun drawn.
Feeling very nervous, Morgan tried his best to sound as confident as possible as he said. "I suggest you drop your weapons now."
"Or what?" Baited Miles. "You will shoot me? I don't think so." Seeing the hesitation in Morgan's eyes he continued, "We have watched you over the last few days, so I know you are involved with the pretty lady over there." He said jerking his head. "Put the gun down and I will take good care of her, or if you don't I will make the rest of her life full of pain and suffering."
The last statement caused Morgan to be overcome with rage and he gripped the gun and was about to pull the trigger when his lack of knowledge of guns caused his thumb to move over the clip release. As the clip fell to the ground Miles' laughter echoed round the camp, before he aimed his gun towards Morgan.
