Invisibility, part three.
Trautman and Garner were at the centre point in a clearing in the woods, near four human-like straw puppets.
They had been waiting for fifteen minutes and by then Garner was starting to get impatient.
“Trautman...” he finally said, but he couldn't end the phrase.
Two arrows hit two of the puppets at the same time.
Garner turned to see where they had just come from, but as he heard a little rustling behind him, he turned again.
The third and fourth puppets’ heads were almost severed and Rambo, Jorgenson, Ortega and Coletta were right in front of him, with their weapons at the ready.
“Outstanding work, guys. Really outstanding” Trautman said.
All of the Baker team men were smiling, but Rambo.
He practically never smiled.
“Why did they shoot the furthest targets first? asked Garner.
“To distract us, and I would say that they did that. As they came in, we both had our backs to them”
“That's true”
That's when the student gets better than the teacher – Garner thought.
He said:
“Very good work, guys. You in particular, Johnny.”
“Yes Rambo – said Trautman -: I have decided. You are going to be the second shadow-man of the team, together with Barry. You are the team's two best at it”
Rambo nodded with no expression on his face.
“Anyway, good job for everyone. Well done”
