Sam listened to Gabriel's words with deep interest. When the marbles came out, Sam had to suppress his child side and focus on the task at hand. This new world was a tough one and if he wanted to survive, he needed to grow up fast. That thought made Sam feel sad, but at the same time he knew that he needed to let go and the sooner he did that, the sooner he'd be able to grow.
He gently took the catapult from Gabriel and looked up at the target he had pointed out to him. Sam had never fired any sort of weapon before, so he just went on what he'd seen on TV before. He pulled back the rubber part of the catapult, the marble secure in the little pocket and released his finger. He didn't hit the board this time, but he managed to chip a bit of the wall next to the board.
"oops" The child muttered.

Tyler and Greg arrived back at the village a few hours later to only anger their leader. He had not taken too kindly to their failure and they had paid for it through a beating. The leader had however granted them another six men to return to the hospital to capture the three survivors and bring them back.
"If you fail, I will kill you both on your return. If you decide not to return, then you will be hunted!!" He had yelled.
Tyle and Greg winced at those words and decided they would risk their lives if need be to bring these three back. As the evening started to draw in, the eight men began to walk back to the hospital with their weapons close by.
