They move on farther along the barbed wire barricade of the camp and then they come to a halt when David sees two lights and wide barbed wire gate entrance with TWO GUARDS just inside the gate. They move off the road down a sloped hill just beneath the entrance of the camp. They lie down on the grass to sleep.

110. EXT. THE SLOP OFF THE ROAD - DAY  110.

It is early morning as David is awakened by the VOICES of the Guards and the MOTOR of a truck. 

TRUCK DRIVER'S VOICE
Whatcha got for me today!?

GUARD'S VOICE
Same bunch you had yesterday!

TRUCK DRIVER'S VOICE
Well, I'll take what I kin git!

David hears the truck MOTOR into the grounds of the compound. He and Sounder crawl up to the edge of the slope so they can see. Finally he decides to walk across the road to the gate where the Guard is -- 

111. EXT. LABOR CAMP GATE - DAY      111.

David and Sounder approach the gate and stop - one of the Guards sees them and walks over --

DAVID LEE
