Gathering

"Do you think we should have stayed more? "

Cang looked at Isley who was walking beside him. He slowed down his pace and held her hand while they both hiked together. 

"I know, but it is getting ridiculous by the time they are taking to reach here. This could mean only one thing that they are in some kind of trouble. "

Isley smiled at him, 

"Yeah, I understand. But where should we look for them? "

Cang took a peek at the mountain and then observed the land around it. It was a kind of logical conclusion to have high ground while searching wide areas since they were not sure from which direction their teammates would be arriving. 

So after the false scare of the morning, he and Isley both decided to hike the mountain to look for potential places where they could begin their search. Moreover, the main reason was to leave some message or signal on the various places indicating the direction they had gone in.
