By nightfall, the three teams had separated, and a base had been set in the south, north, and middle. They would go in two hours after sundown, and at the moment, Sagiri, Kiuga, N'varu, and Kaka were lying down a few feet away from five members of squad Yoka who would remain at the border of Tatani. Their task was to wait for them to come out after two hours, and if not, then they would go in to pull them out. When the two hours after sundown hit, the four rose from their hideout. Silence was key, and sagiri had been listening in on the direction they would be going.
It was deadly silent. It brought back memories of when they had gone in to eliminate the tree snakes up north. They had managed to scare away all the small beasts.
"Anything?" Kiuga asked, shuffling closer so Sagiri could hear him. It was not necessary anyway because with the silence, Sagiri could hear him from a mile away even if he whispered.
"Nothing, not even a squirrel," Sagiri said.
