"Marguerite?" Roxton asked drowsily, waking up, "Marguerite? Why the hell did you let me fall asleep?" But no one answered his question. "Marguerite?"
"George! Malone!" Roxton yelled, looking around the main room. There was no sign of Marguerite but there was signs of a struggle.
"Roxton, what's wrong. Is Marguerite winning the argument?" Malone asked, stopping dead when he saw the look of dread on Roxton's face. He looked around. "Where is Marguerite?"
"What's all the commotion out here?" Challenger asked sleepily.
"I must have dowsed off, and now Marguerite is gone," Roxton said, shaking his head. He was mentally beating himself up. This was his fault. He had broken his own rule. Never fall asleep during watch. And what did he do? He fell asleep.
"Roxton, this is not your fault," Malone said, trying to comfort the older man.
"Like hell it's not my fault. I fell asleep and those bastards take her right under my nose!" Roxton got up and grabbed his pistols and his rifle.
"Where are you going?" Challenger asked, stepping in front of Roxton.
"I've got to find her," Roxton said his voice full of pain. When he looked up at them, Malone was suprised to see tears in his eyes.
"Well, you can't go alone. We're all concerned for her," Malone said.
"We are all going to look for her. And we are going to bring her back, unharmed," Challenger put in, also grabbing a rifle and tossing one to Malone.
"Fine, let's go," Roxton said, his voice drained of emotion.
