You drop to the ground, biting back your urge to cry out in pain as you gash your knees and elbows on the sharp rubble (lose 2 ENDURANCE points). Marine Knott copies your move, and the beam of the torchlight passes over your still bodies without stopping. It hovers nearby for a few seconds then reluctantly moves away.
Slowly you crawl the final few yards to cover. When both of you are hidden from view, you wait for your breathing to return to normal and then glance around the pillar to see if the coast is clear. The torch’s beam is scanning the ground further south. Then you hear a curse from somewhere on the freeway above and the light is switched off.
Confident that you have not been detected, you readjust your equipment and continue on your way.
