Even though Devroux is missing all sorts of body parts he's still very agile when it comes to climbing trees. Better than I am, I must admit. I'm a good sprinter and rider but not very good at climbing.
Dropping my slingshot to my side I watch with interest how he's setting some traps up in the tree.
When the avox is back down on solid ground I aim my slingshot up into the top of the tree and shoot a stone into the dense leafs, where most of the squirrels are hiding since Dev stirred them up.
Some jump to the next tree, some others come climbing down the main stem and dash off towards the sling. It doesn't even take a minute until one gets caught and dangles from the branch on one legs, squirming and making angry sounds, just like Dev would.
I lean both hands on my thighs because I'm starting to feel nauseous due to the lack of food and water in my system. "We need more than one." I tell him before I sit down on the ground. My face is a little paler than usual but no worse than when he first found me today.
"Can you set some more traps? You're pretty good..." That very moment I see another squirrel out on a limb, who's curiously eyeing the one dangling on one leg. Silently I pick up another stone and load my slingshot. With surprisingly calm hands I aim and fire. Bulls eye.
The dead squirrel drops not even 10 feet away from Devroux.
