Hal had been scanning the tree lines as much as the field, there really wasn't much out there to use as concealment. When Kat asked him for thoughts on the matter he simply shrugged. "Best wait for nightfall and crawl I guess." There really wasn't another plan. The ground would be soggy from the rainfall, if they were lucky they could use it to mask their tracks as well.

.After a night of crawling through dirt and mud they finally reached the farm. Hal had to pull Kat out of the sucking mud twice and she in turn had to pull him out a couple of more times. Looking back on the girl, her face and clothes covered in as much mud as he was, He gestured for her to go up to the house first. Seeing as he wouldn't know at all who was friendly and who not.
