actually, I wrote that in a hurry and I didn’t even realize the mistakes. and what I really meant was that Josh and Butch would rejoin the group at NQC….meaning that they’d meet the rest of the guys there to make their final stand. sorry for the confusion.

Deciphering what a writer really meant to say can sometimes be confusing.

It seems pretty clear to me in this case, though, that the word “both” in the last quoted sentence refers to Gene and Harold.

Why? Well, Owens and Garner wouldn’t “rejoin” the group, since they’ve never left the group.

You have a good point. I will edit the post to reflect it.

It appears we may need some clarification from the author. I took “both” to mean the aforementioned Garner and Owens would rejoin the elder statesmen. Although I wouldn’t count McDonald out, I don’t think it was the author’s intent to confirm it with this note. Notice how Bankston also mistakenly used the word “respectfully” when she really meant “respectively,” an easy error to make.
