As John scrambled to remove as many slaves per trip as he could he would find himself on high guard and constantly tripping over his own feet because of how fast his movements were. 
As Gabe moved down to the rear he paused and looked behind him "Almost out" He said quickly motioning to the hole they came through 
"Five more minutes, plenty of time" He said towards Gabe. 

His mind moved to Par. "Ah hes a big boy, he will be okay" he thought as he looked off to the north woods where there was no sign of Par.
Just as his mind came back to the situation he felt a sharp pierce in his right shoulder. The numb throbbing and spilling blood, John knew what it was. 
"Mother Fucker!" He shouted and shot the attacker twice. 
He turned back to Gabe and cubbed his shoulder, spinning a cloth around it. "No, don't say anything.. It's fine" He hissed at him before Gabe could speak. 
As they moved towards the hall entrance John noticed the unmistakable blinking of a slave collar on two of the slaves in front of him. 
[i] Explosive collars..[/i] He though looking at them [I] Damn [/i]
