Scene 3 — Cal
The defenders created a basic strategy to protect Stefan. Hoping to throw off Team 4, they sent Annie ahead as a sort of scout instead of using her as the last line of defense. The rest of them formed a diamond formation around Stefan with Tommy and Dillon front and right, while Cal and Lindsey were left and rear.
Like previous rounds the group advanced past the first bridge with no sight of the assassins, and to their surprise passed the second bridge as well.
Cal wondered where Annie was as they approached the third, and final, bridge. They hadn’t heard from her in several minutes and she was out of sight up the trail.
Suddenly he noticed Cara lurking in the trees in his area of responsibility! “I see one,” he shouted pointing towards her.
Everybody looked towards where he pointed, unfortunately for them, Bailey used that moment to pop out from under the bridge and attack. She aimed high, shooting projectiles like a basketball player so nobody could intercept them and landed two hits on Stefan. One was on his upper chest and the second hit his shoulder. Cal quickly realized that the girls had thrown their mud covered underwear, imitating Team 3.
Dillon and Tommy quickly moved between Bailey and Stefan to prevent any more attacks, but she retreated. The guys hopped down to the creek bed to pursue the blonde. Cara, in an impressive showing of athleticism, leapt the width of the creek, she was now on the side Team 1 had abandoned to pursue Bailey. Before Team 2 could get across to help she pushed Stefan off the bridge into the creek bed. The gangly man stumbled and rolled down the embankment. When he stood, much of the back of his shirt and seat of his pants was grass stained.
