When morning came, we were ready. Chief Inti and her husbands were going to be infiltrating the village via the tunnels that lead to Uchel's home while we swung around to the path from Moanchan.
Ocello was going with his mother. I was certain that the disappearance of her hostages would be triggering for Dala. I was hoping that she would make a mistake we could exploit.
Though we really did have the upper hand. We had taken away her ability to use our family as leverage. But I felt I was missing something.
If she had really lost the advantage, I expected more activity than what I was seeing in the village. Or maybe I was right in assuming that Dala for the most part left the people alone.
After all, changes in leaders only affected the people when they began to throw their weight around and make changes. But there still seemed to be some tension in the air.
