The voices died down as if placing his ears on the walls of the building triggered a mechanism to stop the sound from coming.
After ten minutes of hearing no sound, Gray stepped back, drew his sword, and turned a sharp gesture to Mike and two others to stand guard at the door while he and the remaining four young soldiers opened the door and stepped inside.
Heavy darkness welcomed Gray and the soldiers as they walked. With the motive of not alerting any to attack them, Gray signaled his men and made them decrease the rate at which their boots slammed the ground.
At every door they reached, Gray sneaked inside, scanned the room, and when he found no one, he dashed out.
But as they reached a brown door, Gray ordered two of the soldiers to stand at the gate, then entered with two. And when he entered first, bright light fell on him, causing him to cover his eyes and stumble back.
