If it is, looks like I won't need to kill him after all.
[He knows that isn't what the Captain wants to hear, but expectations shouldn't be kept too high for Frank.
At that moment, he hears a whimper. Immediately on alert, Frank looks upward first, the tall trees bearing no low branches for climbing, and holds out a hand to shush potential rambling from Steve's end.]
