Even the best-laid plans are no match for the unexpected.
Take now, for instance. After cresting the last low hill on the outskirts of the camp, the two men, cloaked in the night's darkness, were shocked to see lights still on.
The older brother quickly reined in his horse.
The younger brother urgently patted his brother's shoulder, pointing ahead. "Bro, look! Why are the lights still on?"
"Quiet."
The older brother took out his binoculars and observed the camp from a distance.
The row of shipping containers on the right was completely dark. Only the container on the north side, the one facing the camp's main gate, was lit.
The older brother mentally reviewed the situation.
The lit building was the camp's office, used for daily business and receiving herders. It comprised two rooms.
