The encampment in the Redwoods was small, really little more then a cluster of sixteen or so tents and five RV's but it was well defended, with a wall of logs stacked around it and a dry moat of spikes beyond that, the camp has only one entrance from the outside, a gate that is meant to have a guard on it at all times. Granted, as time goes on with nothing threatening rearing its ugly head in the woods anymore, the guard shifts have been getting pretty slack.
Connor shook his head slightly as he surveyed the area. What he hadn’t had the heart to say to the group quite yet was that while they appeared to be well secured and stocked on food and survival items there medical supply was desperately low. They would need to send people out into the field to get supplies.
It was a dilemma Connor was rather familiar with by now. Sending out only people he knew he could trust would leave the camp with too many rouge elements, while sending out a group of untrained, or worse possibly disloyal members could mean that the scavenging party could end up dead, or return with larger numbers against them.
He made his decision. Jason, his lieutenant and right hand man, as well as most of his squad, would stay behind to protect the group. He would bring Alan, Durrell, Lee, and Cyrek for sure. That would be a relatively honest well balanced group, and at the same time leave plenty of trustworthy people back to defend the camp.
He got up and headed to the central campfire and knocked twice on the pot to get the groups attention.
