My eyes opened.I was in a tent, lying on a cot. How could that be? Where was I? I thought about pushing out a quick scan but decided it wasn’t worth the risk. I looked around. It looked like about a four person tent from the inside and I could see a couple of sleeping bags rolled up against the wall. The flap was zippered shut. I lay still and listened. I could hear someone moving outside. I didn’t know who. There were shadows of at least two people showing through the sides of the tent.
After making sure my shields were up, I crept toward the front of the tent. I used all of my natural senses to figure out what was going on. I came up empty. There was no way to avoid making noise as I exited, so I decided that speed was the key. I grabbed onto the zipper pull and pulled as hard and as fast as I could. I somersaulted out of the front of the tent and came up in a fighting stance, ready to take on the world.
