Cassidy walked over, stood on his chest, and began the slow pull to remove the shaft.
"Thanks Cass, I'll go patch up and get back to position"
"No time" she muttered as she shifted her hands lower on the oak bolt, "soon as I get this out of you I need you to bring Rabbit Company up the east slope. You'll be dropping on the abandoned tower in 2 hours and it's going to take you about that long to get there."
"Um... there's only about 4 hours left before dawn, we'll be fighting as the sun rises. What's the plan?"
"Plan's simple, Arthur's leading a glory up the center in 3 hours, if that gate's not open we all die. Kim's job is to make sure that gate's open, your job is to get her up that slope and into the tower and you're running out of time to do it."
"This is insane! Why weren't we briefed about this yesterday? What happened to the wait and seige plan?"
"The fatman upped the timetable on us, we need that fortress by end of week and then we get to escort some royal shit back to the capital as our last mission. Sorry Garret, but this is the only plan we've got that makes the grade," she said as the end of the bolt finally pulled free leaving a ragged hole where the barbs had torn free flesh.
"Cass... We should be doing this tomorrow, when there's more time... even assuming we get into that tower without a hitch how many hundred of them are we supposed to fight through in a couple hours? How many in rabbit? 40 now? 45?"
Cassidy grinned, her fangs particularly prominent given her mood, "That's why you're going with Rabbit Garret. And that's why tortoise is going up the center. I know what I'm doing, plus, I gave Kim clearance for reindeer games."
Garret looked terrified for a moment, then he regained his composure, "well, I have faith in you Cass, I'll get going, but I'm going to be slow in this condition, right side is going to be all torn up."
"I told you you should have moved. But think of it this way, this is the perfect opportunity for you to avenge your soup."
Garret grinned, obviously happy with the joke, and shifted into a black wolf about 4 feet at the shoulder. Blood dripped from the fur all along it's right side and it was favoring it's front right paw, but he loped off into camp without too much trouble.
She might come to regret giving Kim that free reign. Garret's look of horror was not without reason, last time Kim had had any time to play it took six officers to stop her from brutally slaughtering the rest of a city and calling through their blood to hell itself. This time she was the officer leading the infiltration, and the only others that could check her were Garret and Chindar, and Garret was already bleeding.
She shook her head and returned to the task at hand, walking through the camp to find Arthur and Tortoise company
