Antioch: Step Twenty-Five

Both were well-built, not for lifting like Baxter, but for swift movement. Their shoulders were eye-level to the rest and yet they managed to slip so close to the ground, going undetected and untraceable. They moved as if playing in some sort of a game, with ease and whimsical stealth, ducking and weaving through brush, all the while harmonizing in perfect, silent motion. Orvin was the tracker of the two while Haarp was more of the strategist in a field of battle. Their skills complimented each other and if they weren't paired together on the outset of a mission, they usually ended up side-by-side in the end as lone survivors.
