"Who is there?"
One of the guards Makun had counted was alerted by the noise, they were in the woods and had worked here for a long time, so he had not been bothered by the sound of a dry branch falling.
That had happened more than once.
What attracted his attention was the noise, that small disturbance he felt after the branch had fallen, It sounded exactly like someone moving, ducking or escaping the branch.
It was a minor disturbance, barely noticeable but he had to pay attention to it, no mistakes were allowed in this line of work.
Flash!
He turned in the direction of the oak tree, torching it and its surrounding, he had to be sure.
"What are you looking at Barry?" One of his teammates asked. "It was just a branch, you know. The usual."
"I do not think so, it's more than that." Barry said, still gripping his machine gun.
BANG!
He shot in direction of the tree, if he was right and there was someone, then this bullet of his might as well take them out.
