Hilt’s brain registered only four details about the men that were important. First, the man to his right was holding a sophisticated military shotgun. Second, the one to his left held a highly customized sidearm. Third, the one with the shotgun was raising his shoulders. Fourth, the one with the pistol was lowering his shoulders. This meant shotgun was ready to attack, and sidearm was surprised. So, shotgun.
