Once Quintus seemed to have taken control of the Amazon, Masina slipped out. Surely they could handle two slaves. Her job was to see they were safe from attack and she couldn't do that and watch captives. She wasn't at all comfortable with leaving the woman unbound though. She thought the men might underestimate her or be taken in by her antics and allow her to escape. Men rarely understood how cunning women were. They always took superiority for granted. An Amazon would use those mistakes against them to fatal ends.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, she wasn't in charge of the captives. She'd have to trust the Pretty Man to do his job as well as she hoped to do hers.<br/><br/>Stalking to the watch tower Masina was keeping her eyes open for any sign of birds, animals or insects. She would be thrilled if only there were an ant or a worm or a spider. Anything besides bees.
