19 WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

"The barbie was right. This gives a shitty view. " Matty snorted.

"Keep a low profile till the reset," Cole replied.

"Reset will be equipped in three hundred seconds!"

Once the reset was done, all of them sighed. Now they could properly see what was in front of them.

Cole wished to find the route to find Matty and so the map changed into where Matty was. The ground transformed into green red and yellow lines just like before. 

They had to cover a long distance of fifty kilometers to reach Schools where Matty had been hiding in an apartment number said hundred and seven.

"Green one is clear but it covers the lengthiest route," Chris commented.

"We might want to take the red ones. We both will look after each other's back. What do you say?" Chris asked

Red route was the dangerous route of the three and this time it was the shortcut that Cole and Chris wanted to cover. But Cole had seen how much dangerous the yellow route, how much crowded it was than he thought it would be. It was obvious that the red route would be triple the danger than the yellow one.

But the yellow route to this time was covering almost the same distance as the green ones. So it was a hard decision to make. 

"I came following the yellow route while finding you and there were lots of people in there. Even more, than I thought it would be as Babie kept saying semi enemy-free but it was not even close to semi-free. I m just wondering how much more it will be in case of the red route." Cole let out.

Vin had gone off for he was surrounded by the enemies. And here the three of them were contemplating on which route they should take. 

"Let's go for it. If we die, we will be boarding the plane again and repeat it all over. " Chris said.

"Guys take your time, I m fine here," Matty mumbled trying to cool them down on the other side.

After a halt of a minute or so, Cole lined with Chris and decided to take the red route. How worst it could get than getting killed and repeating it all over? 

"So red route it is!" Chris cheered.

All the other routes got erased out from the ground and only the red route became brighter. Even before they stepped out on their journey, the barbie announced...

"Alert! Enemies ahead!"

Cole gave a knowing look to Chris. Chris just shrugged and both friends headed on the highlighted path holding their weapon, ready to shoot anyone on the spot.

And soon enough they found themselves in the middle of a war. A full-blooded raging war. Cole nodded his head towards Chris and both started firing bullets out at the enemies that came their way.

"Cole to your right," Chris shouted.

Cole immediately turned around and shot the enemy dead but when he turned back again to warn Chris to watch his left side, Cole got a bullet on his right arm, blood spurted out from the wound.

Chris cleared his right side and looked over to Cole who was examining his bloodied right arm forgetting that there were more there in his back trying to take him down, Chris took a position coming to his friend's rescue.

"What are you doing, Cole? You would get killed if I did not notice." Chris yelled.

"It's just this wound got me thinking," Cole answered taking his position back. 

They both stood facing the opposite end thus watching their back and firing out to their enemies. 

"What were you thinking?" Chris wailed out.
