Rope is a little confused, but otherwise understands Drake's motives: He didn't want the entire group to be discovered. Clever. But how had the sligs caught up that quickly?
Rope worked his way around and ahead the others, and snuck up a tree to take a look around.
What Rope saw hardly surprised him. They were all less than half a mile away from the rear entrance to the factory, and sligs were marching into the woods in alarming numbers.
Forgetting that he was supposed to be undercover, Rope quickly (and very un-stealthily, he complained to himself) climbed down the tree to warn everyone.
