Predator Stalking Shadows 12

"Loath as he was to leave Pablo and Jameson behind, he knew they would understand his reasons once they came round. And he was consoled by his own
conviction that the two were safer lying unconscious on their own than they would have been if Dutch had left a couple of guys to stand guard over them, or if he and his men had taken them along for the ride. He had learned enough about the aliens' code of honor over the years to be
certain the Hunter would not kill the two men while they mind now were unconscious and helpless on the ground."pg.88 chpt.4
