45 Chapter 5 : Help

In the dark streets of the town of Syaha, James was sitting in a dark alley and can light up, his body covered in sweat, dust and blood.

His breathing was irregularly short and a feeling of dizziness prevented him from walking.

"Look for him! He can't be far away!"

"Yes, Sergeant!"

Several armed soldiers separated and began to search the streets under James' nervous gaze.

He tried to get up but without success, he didn't even have the strength to lift the gun in his hand.

He was in a really bad situation. At the same time a group of soldiers who had not seen her were walking towards him, making him even more nervous.

"Survival, you #$%%#*&#."

He really wanted to strangle her to death Survival World, he felt like a young girl victim of rape who couldn't even denounce her attacker.

But as he tried to get up again, he suddenly stopped his action and looked towards the roof of the building in front of him, while a young man of typical Ishval appearance motioned to him to keep quiet.

James surprised did nothing as the soldiers approached his direction.

"Wait, there he is, pull...." Said one of the soldiers who noticed James but before he finished his sentence, two young men jumped off the roof and landed behind the soldiers before knocking them out and taking up their weapons.

The one who had signalled James to be quiet, approached him and looked at his wound for a moment before taking him on his back.

The younger one seeing the other young man take James on his back was surprised and said in exasperation.

"Rohan, we already have the weapons of those soldiers, we must return to base as soon as possible, we don't need to carry an unnecessary burden."

"Suhuyanly, even if he'll slow us down it's no reason to leave him here, he's one of our countrymen, what's the point of what we're doing if we can't even help one of our wounded brothers." Said Rohan while starting to run, followed by the younger one named Suhuyanly.

The two, as accustomed to it, easily sneaked through the various checkpoints of the city, then after about ten minutes they arrived at an old abandoned house which they entered.

After verifying that they were not followed, they closed the door before lifting a piece of furniture under which was hidden a trap door which they opened and into which they en

tered before closing it again.

During the whole process James remained silent and just watched, after going down into the hatch, they slowly climbed down a ladder and arrived in a large, fairly old room, even though it was dark, James saw a table with several dusty documents and books, a bed, some boxes, cans full of water and several maps hanging on the wall.

"Suhuyanly turns on the light for our guest."

The young boy then took a match from his pockets and lit a lamp hanging on the wall.

The young man named Rohan placed James on the bed and inspected his body for a moment and then thought about it for a while, before rummaging through one of the boxes and taking a few pills wrapped in paper, bandages, three scalpels, a surgical forceps, a bottle of disinfectant and came and sat down next to James.

"What's your name, my friend?"

"Gagan..." Says James weakly as he closes his eyes and regulates his breathing.

"Swallow these pills, they're homemade, they'll help reduce the pain when I extract the bullet fragments."

James hesitated for a brief moment before opening his mouth and swallowed five pills. (Warning: When a stranger gives you pills don't take them or your ass will hurt lol.)

After three minutes James fell deeply asleep, Rohan then began to operate on James' wound and after about ten minutes the wound was disinfected and closed.

"Rohan it's dangerous to help a stranger these days and don't forget why we are in this town, we promised the chief to investigate the prisoners, it was already risky enough to steal weapons so adding one more problem is not really necessary. "

Rohan after checking James' condition smiles before dropping off his medical supplies in one of the crates and in an assured voice.

"Don't worry, we're going to accomplish our mission at all costs, and don't underestimate this person, the army never deploys as many patrols as for some rare person, he must have caused some damage, or he has valuable information, either way he's an asset to us."
