The mercs began their attack on the caravan when it got within forty feet of their position. Slader popped guards with his Service rifle with ease, even the brahmin didn't survive the gunfight. After the guards were dispatched the mercs started climbing out of ditch, then one of them was shot through the head by Anna. "Sniper!" shouted the mercenary with the binoculars. Slader had an idea, he crawled forward to the dead brahmin and grabbed one of the weapon crates, they commonly were bulletproof. He placed it in the direction he thought the sniper shot came from and started running down the road. "He's got the idea, everyone grab a crate and run like hell." said the merc.<br/>---------------------------------------------<br/>After Anna shot the crates a couple times she gave up trying to shoot through them. She decided to follow at a distance and wait until the mercenaries got tired or let their guard down.
