Some of the other marines were asleep in the distance, the one assigned lookout duty was perched against a tree, snoring.
I gripped the gun beside me in my makeshift bed, and stood to my feet, my heart hammering against my ribs. "Scotty," I whispered, but the marine on duty didn't stir. I stalked closer to the woods, hearing Jacob a few feet behind, my gun out in front of me, my gaze steady on the tree line.
Movement stirred from my right, and I crouched down, aiming my gun, and searching the darkness. Jacob hissed, cursing beneath his breath while I searched for an intruder.
