I Said, WAKE UP!!

… Diona hesitated under Boss Forde's quizical stare. 

"How many times did you shoot the archer?" Forde repeated.

After sucking in a huge breath, Diona did her best to answer fittingly, "I, actually, never got a chance to shoot the archer." 

"... Why not?" Forde asked.

"Because he… The archer destroyed my rifle. Otherwise, I would've gotten even more shots into the ogre," Diona answered. 

Forde squinted again. This time, it showed a hint of puzzlement. "The archer destroyed your rifle?" 

"Yes, Boss." 

With a disbelieving glance, Forde questioned, "And how does an archer compete with a rifle, exactly?" 

Diona opened her mouth to answer, but Fred was the next to speak. He yelled toward the double doors, "Hey! Bring in the rifle!" 

Hearing that he'd get to see physical evidence, Forde patiently waited a couple of minutes while two goons retrieved the item.
