William groaned a bit as he rolled over onto his back, looking up at the ceiling of his bathroom through the steam the shower had produced during his episode. He had no idea how long he had been out but once his head had touched the tile he only saw blackness. There was the loose string of a dream the he tried to pull, tried to unravel what he had seen in the blackness. Only bits and pieces of a forest came through, a flash of a scene of shouting armored men and a woman, and of a carriage. "What a trippy dream..."<br/><br/>Going slowly, he stood, deciding he should go ahead with his shower. The smell of his earlier workout was still lingering on his clothes and body. Slipping out of his shirt, pants, and underwear he reached out to test the shower, climbing in once the temperature was right. As he rinsed off he kept thinking of the dream he could just barely remember that felt so real to him, almost as if it happened yesterday. William drifted off in thought as his mind wandered when the obnoxious ringing of his cell phone brought him back to reality. He quickly turned the shower off and grabbed a towel, digging through his pants to find his phone.<br/><br/>"Ello?"<br/><br/>"Yo Will, the boss got a job for ya."<br/><br/>"First off, it's William, you know better than that Ray. What's the job?"<br/><br/>"Sorry er... William. I've just got a lot on my mind ya know?" Ray coughed a bit nervously, clearing his throat. "There's a uhh... 'box' of sorts that needs to be opened on 27th street, I'll text you all the details. It's going down tonight though."<br/><br/>William sighed audibly, pulling the phone away from his face to check the time. 6:07 PM. "I'll start heading that way, everything else taken care of?"<br/><br/>"Oh course Will of course... I mean uh, William. See you soon."<br/><br/>~-----------------------------~<br/><br/>The dawn broke over the treetops of the pleasant forest and the animals greeted it with chirps and chatters. Wallace and Shawn were already up preparing for the day when the sun light filtered through the trees to shine upon their faces. Both men looked up, appreciating the light and warmth. The camp was packed, there was no sign they had been there the night before. Packs slung over their shoulders the two men began to trek through the forest making small talk as they went, enjoying the beauty of the day. After a few hours the came to a well defined trail that connected many parts of the kingdom.<br/><br/>"Scout a mile down that way, I will go a mile this way and see if there is a suitable spot."<br/><br/>Shawn nodded and began off, leaving his pack behind a tree next to Wallace's. After awhile they met back in the middle, discussing the various tactical positions each had seen while eating a light lunch. Agreeing on a particular place they retrieved their packs and made their way to the spot and began preparations.<br/><br/>"You better be right about this Wallace, a day wasted is a day wasted..."<br/><br/>Wallace lightly punched Shawn's shoulder, winking broadly as he did. "Believe me the chambermaid was in no mind to lie to me."<br/><br/>They shared a laugh as Shawn strung his long bow, checking the fletching of his arrows and picking out a select few. They sat back, hidden among the trees and waited.
