The suicide soldiers had surrendered without a fight. Two had been caught before during a mission, and they were tough–refusing to say a single word. But now, they couldn’t reveal themselves to be suicide soldiers. If they did, their presence near the garrison outpost would give Thomas grounds to accuse them of plotting an attack on a military outpost.
