| 299 These bootprints are definitely those of soldiers but a closer look shows they are not man-made. It appears that whoever, or whatever made them has kept close to the banks of the stream and used the cover of the hedges at its edge to move undetected. You feel the collar at your throat and consider whether it is a good idea to follow them. You see also that they are dragging something heavy with them and that it was struggling at the time. Your curiosity aroused you reposition the metal collar and decide you will give yourself one hour to find out who has made these prints, and what they have with them. Luckily the prints are fresh and with Pallenten you should be able to catch their owners without much trouble.
