"Did you get a look at him?", asks Andrews, turning back to see if Colorados can hear him.

"Middle aged guy," Solomon says breathlessly, "Apache, I think. Tall. Big *CED*ing rifle." Solomon is crounching down, gun ready, but leaning back against the rock. He'll eventually peek around and ready himself to fire at anything that moves into the flashlight's beam, but not quite yet.

Sheriff Colorados comes up behind you both. "Boys, don't be foolish. We have him trapped in there. I don't want you to get your head blown off trying to act like John Wayne. Let's wait for back up!" He looks over Soloman. "Are you ok? There is a first aid kit in the jeeps."

 

[taitzu52]

"Your guy, Ronnie,", Andrews says to Colorados, "Is he a tall guy, middle aged?"

 

[Maerdwyn]

"I'll be okay. Let's keep him penned in here until help arrives, then I'll go to the jeep for a band-aid," Solomon answers. "If he's sitting there waiting for us to come in, he's not killing the hostages. My guess is they're either already dead or they won't be any worse off for us waiting a few minutes for backup. Sherriff, the shooter is a pretty tall middle aged Apache guy - at least that's how he looked for the second I saw him clearly. That sound like one of the shamans?"

 

[Gomez]

"That might sound like Bylas but he is in is late 60's and none of the shaman would do anything like this. They are highly repected men with no history of trouble." says the Sheriff.

 

[Maerdwyn]

"Okay - anyone else you can think of that it does sound like?" As he speaks, Solomon is looking down at the ground around the cave entrance, to see if it looks like more than a few people have passed this way recently, if there are obvious coyote (or other animal) tracks, or signs of vehicle passage.

"We don't know what's going one either, Sheriff." says Andrews, "But that wound may be deceptive on my partner over there. Could you go and bring the first aid kit back up here? And grab some flares too." Andrews looks grimly at Brown, one of the shamans? , he thinks

 

[Gomez]

Soloman sees a worn trail leading into the cave but you don't see any tracks; human, animal, or vehicle.

"Ok, I will run back to the jeeps and grab some gear." says the Sheriff. "And don't go poking your heads in that cave. That's a order! Understand?"

 

[taitzu52]

Andrews gives a subdued salute and watches Colorados scamper back down the trail. His eyes fall on the deputy as he passes his body on the path down. Would you rather it was you, Richard, he thinks to himself. "You doing alright over there, kid?", he asks Brown, wondering how long it will be until backup shows.
