FIELD NOTE
Forty rounds split four ways is ten shots a man, and then it is a shotgun.
That is the whole count on Mercy Ridge tonight. Three rifles and a shotgun, forty rounds between them, plus whatever the Smiths carried up the lane, which is eleven in Mark’s rifle and thirty-odd across the rest.
Mark put four on the barn roof instead of two. West, south, and the lane. Nobody on the creek side.
How you hold a hill with that little is the week’s first lesson.

And the one order Mark gave that cost the hill its water...
