Cameron Southwell clung tightly to Shane Southwell. Seeing a lull, he quickly crawled up from the ground.
Just as he wanted to call out to Scar, Scar shouted in Vietnamese, "To the hillside over here, prepare for combat."
With that, Cameron hurriedly pulled along the somewhat dazed Shane, following Scar, not caring about the shouts from the people behind him.
While retreating, Cameron stole a glance back. On the other side of the ravine, the muzzle flashes were continuous, and the gunfire here was deafening.
He reached out to tug Scar, who glanced back at him, pointing toward the ravine behind them, but Cameron couldn't make out a word of what Scar said.
But seeing Scar's men retreating down the ravine, he quickly followed, not forgetting to pull Shane into his embrace as they ran.
"Dad? Who are those people?" Shane asked, his voice trembling, clearly terrified, his face as pale as a sheet.
Cameron looked around, too preoccupied to answer his son, only snapping, "Be quiet."
