OVER ON TOPPLING Crag, Saber, Sydney, and Doug made their way to a piece of open ground, where they intended to meet the rescue helicopter.

Saber and Doug carried the stretcher, and had been for some time, so Sydney was able to monitor Anthony. Though they were all capable of that task, it was obvious Anthony’s condition was critical, and she wanted Sydney to spend as much time with her brother as possible, in case the worst happened.

Despite having every intention of carrying Anthony to the pick up point, Saber had a problem—her shoulder was beginning to hurt. Anthony was a healthy, fit man, so he wasn’t light to carry. The constant deadweight on her arms started to take its toll on her weaker shoulder, and she winced as the dull ache sharpened into pain. It didn’t help matters that the terrain was hard to hike, without the added weight of a stretcher. Saber wondered whether she should just grit her teeth and suffer the pain in silence. They only had to get around the next bend, a few minutes at most. But then she remembered her promise to Sydney, and all thoughts to the contrary disappeared.

“Hold up.” Swallowing her pride, Saber halted. “I need to switch with you, Syd. Sorry, but my shoulder...”

Sydney nodded instantly. “I’ll carry him.”

Saber and Doug lowered Anthony to the ground. Now without the weight, the pain in Saber’s shoulder lessened considerably. She moved away from the stretcher and carefully rolled her shoulder, trying to be discreet in her actions. Her shoulder offered no protest, and Saber was relieved there were no lasting effects from the pain she’d felt.

Sydney watched her with a troubled expression. “All right, Sabe?”

Saber was quick to reassure. “Fine. Let’s keep moving.”

Accepting Saber’s word on the matter, Sydney didn’t delay any longer, and picked up the stretcher with Doug. As they continued along the mountain trail, Saber kept a sharp eye on Anthony, monitoring him closely.

The group rounded the next bend, arriving at their destination, and set Anthony down on the ground once more.

It wasn’t too long before Saber heard the sound of rotors in the distance, and as the whirring of the helicopter’s blades drew nearer to their position, she shared a relieved look with Sydney.

“Almost there,” Saber said. “Not much longer now.”
