A Dangerous Promise
“He kept his eyes open. If Corey or Jiri spotted him, he was as good as dead. Trying not to let his voice betray his pounding heart, Mike began to ask a few of the soldiers if they knew where he might find Logan.
Most soldiers just shrugged, but one finally directed him to the last row of tents near the north side of the encampment. "Fifth one down, I think, although I doubt he'd be there this time of day." All the better, Mike thought. Jiri wasn't likely to have the watch, or any other belo...ngings he'd stolen, on his person. They'd be hidden away—maybe in a blanket roll.
The tent area wasn't as busy as the rest of the camp. Mike was alone as he limped down the last row to the fifth tent. Holding his breath, he stopped and listened. There were no sounds coming from inside the tent. Cautiously, he lifted a comer of the fiap that served as a door and peered inside.
Good! It was empty!
Mike slipped from the bright sunshine into the tent, where he saw neat piles of bedrolls and equipment—enough for at least four men.MoreLess
