Julian stood in the center of the camp, near the fire pit with the majority of the campers within earshot. He stood firmly, looking at them. They were his people and he'd let them down again. Twice.

"We're implementing new rules. There will be guards awake and patrolling twenty-four hours a day, every day. I will take volunteers first, but everyone needs to pull their weight. No one is to be out wandering around after dark. It's clearly dangerous here, we need to protect ourselves and I cannot help you if you refuse to help yourself. I'm taking steps to eradicate these tragic happenings. Your full cooperation is expected. Any questions?"

Waiting till day light she sought out Shane. After confessing to Julian about the exchange between them she felt like she owed him an explanation. Recalling the last time they spoke he requested her to keep it quiet, and while she never agreed she couldn't help but feel guilty about it.
