Chapter 41: Cornered Already!

I had several options:

1, Hide in the bushes besides the path. A swift observation of the bushes ruled that out as the thinning of the trees at that point had allowed masses of blackberry bushes, masses of green and red berries ready to darken in the summer sun. I had no intention of exposing my bare skin to blackberry thorns,

2. Return the way I had come which would trap me between the approaching voices and anyone who had pursued me from the picnic area or had waited in the picnic area to be ready to cut me off in case I had followed Path B.

3. Make haste along Path B which would mean they would almost certainly spot me before I could reach the trees and I was certain some one would be waiting there... 4. Submit where I stood

I rejected them all and raced for the easily accessibly quarry entrance, It was much more impressive inside than it had seemed from outside and I hid and watched the path I had just left. Three figures, all white and wearing shorts but I couldn’t see much else, appeared and when they stopped and I could see the pose of the mobile phone user, He then shouted to unseen others behind him that he would take path B while they should follow the path back to the picnic area.
