After the grenade explosion, the Bedouins seem to give up. Their voices fade away and once again the silence returns to the front entrance of the institute. A very weak light lingers in the entrance room, Yechiel takes shelter in an alcove that will give him both a field of vision and a point in front of the door where he can shoot at the intruders. He lets go of his hands holding the rifle and breathes taking a deep breath, he tries to calm himself. He puts his head down on his hands and tries to doze until he falls asleep.
