Message for Station Two and Three

<p>"Mayumi, what did she say before leaving?" The captain asked Mayumi. But he stopped his curiosity <br/>when found her sleeping so sound. It was enough then he stepped back and returned to the kitchen, <br/>watching the kettle and the flares of fire under it. He sighed and pressed his head.<br/> Meanwhile above the granite house, Magee was almost passing by the old entrance of the mountain <br/>which was filled with soldiers. Upon seeing the danger, she decided to move down and trekked below <br/>the cliff. It was dubiously difficult and risky. She had to grab durable roots and at times swing, it was <br/>until she reached some five hundred meters away and immediately camouflaged herself from the cliff's wild <br/>vines. As she crept, she noticed that most of the soldiers were getting inside the granite mountain and <br/>there were only a few who were left carrying some injured comrades from the warzone. In a while of <br/>waiting, she carefully crossed the small path and went closer to the granite mountain's southwest wall <br/>where station three was located. It was too silent outside and while she used a stone to knock its door then luckily, someone opened it cautiously. The lieutenant. He seemingly had found a ghost and right <br/>away pulled her inside and closed the granite door.<br/><br/>" My goodness, Mag!" The lieutenant whispered and hugged her so tight.<br/><br/>" Huh! I've been waiting for them to get settled inside the granite mountain, but it took for almost an <br/>hour, I guess they're called already for meal while some were helping their wounded comrades. Oh <br/>dear, I felt I got so many sores and scratches from the thorny plants I've hang-on with." Then she smiled <br/>yet teary eyed and leaned her face on his shoulder.<br/><br/>"Shh...quiet, calm down, everything will be alright, shh..." George pacified her while she still deeply <br/>breathe. The people around were shocked. They could not imagine her passing through the enemy's <br/>busy path.<br/><br/>Eunice drew closer and extended a bamboo mug filled with water to Magee. Some of the women <br/>prepared a hot water for her to sip since they only have it. Station three already ran out of food. <br/>Then on, after resting from his shoulder she then started to share their experiences and the messages she have <br/>intercepted from the enemies when she eavesdropped in station one. <br/><br/>" Who could be the traitor then, hmm...but right now, we need to find some food." George said.<br/><br/>" Up there in our house, there's still some canned goods, Dad's never-ending secret vaults kept showing. <br/>You can't believe it all." Magee smilingly uttered.<br/><br/>" It's his nature, such a wit and his plans even shields us this far. Okay Mag, I'll talk to my comrades for a <br/>while, change of plan and route, interesting." George blurted then began to orient his comrades. Part <br/>of the meeting had to proceed to the granite house and find some food for station two and three occupants that stays like sardines in station three. So they never wasted time. George had to bring <br/>back his wife and four soldiers, including Baldur, Albrecht, Henry and Amado. When they're all set, they <br/>watchfully got out and one by one crossed the path. Fortunately, all of them were able to safely reached the other side. Next was trekking the cliff where they had to experience passing through the <br/>thorny vines. Later, despite the difficult way going to the opposite side of station three, at 2100 hours, <br/>they all stepped inside the granite house while passing through the daylight optic hole. The captain was <br/>elated , looking to his sons and daughter appearing in front of him.<br/><br/>" Where have you been people, it seems I haven't seen you in a century." The captain smiled while <br/>Albrecht was astounded seeing his stepfather's knees and massage his feet and knees.<br/><br/>" Thank you Albrecht, where's Baldur? I saw him just in a while, where is he?" The captain uttered.<br/><br/>" He immediately went to Mayumi, dad." Magee answered while George prepared some ginger tea for <br/>everyone.<br/><br/>" Hmm...George, what do you think is the reason why both sides (enemy and officer Orlando's ) are <br/>using our group and fed their anger. Why they framed the attack meant for us and plans to put us on <br/>crossfire, what do you think?" The captain asked.<br/><br/>" It seems the traitor likes me and knows you. What do you think?" George smiled while sipping his <br/>ginger tea.<br/><br/>" Haha! Well-said. The traitor knows us, though can't guarantee that he/she couldn't betray and kill us <br/>any time, I could feel that the traitor rush for our death this week, right? But how are they connected to <br/>the third group? Those who have tried to hunt you with Baldur yesterday, it's so creepy, hmm." Edward <br/>smiled once again.<br/><br/>" Dad, yes, there's a third group, there is. If the enemies hunted them too, this means its the group of <br/>the traitor closer to us, or maybe he/she formed that group to play safe he'll tidy his/her hands over us. <br/>That group is a dummy." George sighed as the captain was tapping his shoulder and smiled.<br/><br/>" You better take your dinner with them, I see Albrecht is preparing some oatmeal on bowls now, grab yours since we gotta have busy days ahead, need to be physically strong. Not me, still moving but I feel <br/>I'm rotten inside."<br/><br/>" Magee told me what you did in the river with the soldier, your sting's still on. My snappy salute, dad." <br/><br/>Albrecht laughed while putting some leaves surrounding his knees.<br/><br/>" Dad just forced himself to save her daughters around. It was a terrible situation, good that he <br/>smoothly did it." Baldur smiled.<br/>" It's a tough day for all of us. Indeed. But I'm thinking if how could we move having two threatening <br/>troops around us. However, I'm also analyzing if why that soldier who found this house – didn't tell his <br/>comrades that this exist. The way I studied the entire house, no one has ever come since we left. Isn't <br/>this interesting too? Why do they have to stay underneath and scattered inside like snails when this <br/>house is a better shelter. Why..." The captain sighed and then closed his eyes as he began to sleep <br/>beside Albrecht's arms.</p>
