It was dark obviously and due to this Cooper could see very little. He was not fazed by this as he had been in worse situations. Well at least he thought he had as he had been in similar situations in India and indeed Ireland, most recently.<br/><br/>He had no idea of the situation outside and had only gone into the dark on the Major’s suggestion, who had sent him in an attempt to show that there was nothing to be concerned about, but in truth there was plenty as the cold of the night began to bite at his trigger finger.<br/>
