Helen Blair fell silent for a while, then said, "We can't sleep. Let's take a break and go!"
But there was no response for a long time. She looked down and saw Reuben Carter's head drooping, obviously asleep.
Helen wanted to wake him up, but when she reached out her hand, she thought about how scared and tired he had been for so long, so she decided to let him sleep for a little while so they could continue their journey.
She took out the phone she had found on Old Seven earlier and switched it on, intending to call for help, but there was no signal, and the battery was almost empty. With no choice, Helen turned off the phone again, planning to make a call for help once they were out of the woods and had asked for their whereabouts!
She covered Reuben with Old Seven's cotton jacket, regretting that she hadn't taken an extra one while fleeing.
