บท 293: Risky Business

 "This is why woman shouldn't be on the battlefield! Yer too soft! Ye shoulda killed us both!" the Highlander bellowed as he bounced on Klaus' shoulder.

 "Oh, aye! Shoulda killed the One witness we got to you confessin' to Drexel's plans, and takin' Petrie.. That would've made So much sense for us to do," Skye's voice was dripping with sarcasm.

 The Highlander grumbled and cursed at her, earning himself a good punch to his side for it from Klaus. Angus grunted and tried to wiggle free, but all it did was earn him another punch. This time, Klaus made it hard enough to knock the wind out of him.

 Skye smiled and thanked him as the other squads came into view. Seeing the Highlander slung over Klaus' shoulder made them abandon the little gear that they'd brought with them, and immediately mount up. They rendezvoused with the rest of the company relatively quickly, despite the extra baggage that Klaus had.
