The Elder

Tom surveyed the ranch through the binoculars. Everything looked quiet and if their intel was to be believed the place ran on a minimum of staff. Tom and the eight other clan members chosen for the rescue mission were parked on a raised hill that looked down at the valley below where the ranch was situated. One road lead into the place and as soon as they broke from the tree line they would be on clear and open ground until they reached the main building. Once they got there they would split into three teams. Tom and his men would check the large concrete structure that dominated the ranch, while the other two teams would check the house and the few workshops at far end and close to the helicopter pad.

He passed the binoculars to Trent and pointed him in the direction of the heli pad. “Looks like we have guests,” Tom said. Trent nodded as he scanned across each building. A member of the clan had scouted the ranch for over a week and had found that at most there would be three guards on duty in the holding cells. These guards usually rotated out every few days. The guards were armed and apart from them one or two general workers seemed to be onsite on any give day.

Tom was going to take four men to the main structure while the other two men teams checked the rest of the property. “We are going to be exposed as soon as we hop the fence,” Trent said.

“I can’t see any watch towers. There’s little to no security, Tom said. Tom had known it was a dangerous mission and he was working with men who only a few days ago who were lumberjacks, truck drivers, or carpenters. Nobody in his clan was trained for this kind of thing and yet now they were on a rescue mission for a clan elder, ill prepared and with no other choice. Tom respected them all for risking their lives in pursuit of cohesion of the clan. “We move low and fast across the field,” Tom said.

Trent shook his head as he trained the binoculars across the wide open space they needed to cross before they reached the cover of the building. “What about going in at night?” he asked.

Tom looked at him and said, “You know thats not an option. Elder Silas has been in that cell for weeks now, he might not have another night in him. You know what savages these bears are. We need to get him out now while we have the chance and we know the guard numbers are low.”

Trent nodded and said, “Ready men. Check your weapons,” and he checked his rifle. The other men checked theirs, an assortment of handguns, shotguns and one older guy had a cross bow. Tom checked the action of his gun and then stuck it in his belt, the handle wrapped in heavy duty tape sticking out over his waistband.

Tom addressed the men, “You all know why you are here.
