Why don’t you take care of the guy coming after you?  At lease that evens the odds a bit…  We know now that Cherry is bad-ass and can probably take the other two guys while Justin cowers in the corner…

So, as Mark heads off in a random direction, the chance of ever seeing him again is slim…  I am sure that many a well-meaning soul has gone into the swamp only to lose the Trail, never to been seen again…  (ha!  Get it??  Lose the TRAIL??)
