tactical exfil point

Full and satisfied, I set out for the balcony to find the perfect extraction point. I marched tight along the baseboard and finally climbed into the deep-green jungle of a large flowerpot. The leaves were huge and dense—perfect natural cover. I had just pulled out a small twig to tap the extraction signal—tap, tap, tap-tap-tap—when a fat green caterpillar suddenly dangled from the leaf above me. I instantly dropped the twig and threw both hands over my head. “Happy New Year! Don’t shoot!” Three seconds later, I realized it only wanted to eat leaves. I immediately performed a tactical slide beneath a broad leaf. Heh. That’s advanced stealth technique.#
