บท 163: Ash's friend

Trace looked at his wife's horrified expression and tried to smile reassuringly.

"You go hide, I'll stay here and knock him out when he gets to the top. He'll be too tired to fight me off right when he finishes climbing," Trace whispered hopefully.

"What if you dropped something on his head before he got to the top at all?" She pitched.

"If I miss, he'll know something's up, and probably call for reinforcements," Trace frowned.

"What if you push him?" Anaisa said thoughtfully. "Instead of trying to knock him out."

"He'd probably scream, and that would draw a lot of attention," Trace sighed. "I don't like it."

"But it would certainly draw the others out of the cave to come investigate. Maybe even most of them. We could run around and sneak in from another direction, and free the hostages while they're distracted, and then we'd have more people on our side," Her eyes narrowed in thought.
