As soon as they were back at the camp, Kenneth had taken a look around and gone in search of Helena since he'd gleaned from Cross and Alex that she was nominally in charge. He was actually restraining his urge to just march in and announce that he was taking over, that would not win him any friends at all and this was not he military.
He asked a slight, blue eyed man who'd smiled cheerfully and pointed him toward a tiny Asian woman. Still fully armed, what was left in his pack on his back, he approached Helena and tugged the brim of his cap. "Ma'am. Colonel Kenneth Gibson, arrived this morning. I tracked Cross and Alex to the North and I hear tell you're the woman in charge of this crew. I was wondering if I might have a few minutes of your time." Despite his seriousness, the laugh lines around his eyes and mouth were obvious.
