She stepped through the half-open door, her movements cautious and precise. The darkness fell like a veil around her and made it difficult to seperate ground from sky.

Once outside, Chris looked for Tony and had to follow the sound of his voice to find him. He was standing over a map and talking on the satphone, he glanced up for a second before his attention was directed to the map again.

"The mine is right across from us," she told the men behind her. There was no need to point it out to them, it was impossible to miss.

"Can you walk?" he asks Behrooz hastily, supporting him so much as to be almost carrying him.

The question's intended as much to keep the boy alert as anything.

Behrooz pauses, then makes a valiant attempt at walking.

But there's some wheezing, and it seems he can walk, but only if he's cluthing at the wall. He doubles over a little, but never tries to touch the wound. Or look at it, for that matter.

Keeping focused on his surroundings is almost enough to distract from the pain.

That's good. Sharpe could carry him, but not without some difficulty.

Supporting him as they walk, as fast as Behrooz can manage, is much easier.
