It has been left unsaid but somewhere in this story you left exited your vehicle and stepped outside when you had no idea whatsoever what was happening or how many opponents you faced.At this point I notice a man laying face down in the ditch on my left. My first thought is that he has been hit by a car or is otherwise hurt.
I stop my pickup and quickly back up until I am directly next to him. I grab my streamlight, light him up and say "Hey! Are you OK?"
He jumps up, runs away from me but crosses the road from right to left. I follow him with my light and as I am panning across the road I notice two more men attempting to hide behind a tree in the ditch to my right.
Feeling funny, I reach back into my pickup and draw my pistol and walk out from around my pickup (dumb) and say in a loud voice, "Who are you and what are you doing!"
There could have been 100 guys out there armed with baseball bats but you never gave it a thought because you focused only on what you saw.
It seems there was only 1 decoy but it could have been 3.
