Just this once

Without anyone noticing, the Bright Moon came.

«I can't believe it's already been two weeks,» Nate sighed. Since the Black Moon had happened so many things that he couldn't keep track of the time.

He had been busy planning the attack on Mayford, then executing, and finally cutting loose ends and searching for Polenta.

When he picked Lara up from the centre, he remembered what day it was. He had been so stupid, forgetting that!

He had to get ready beforehand... What could they prepare in so little time?

«Let's go,» Lara said, looking at him.

«It's the Bright Moon,» he said.

«Yes... So, what?»

She knew it. But she wasn't fretting as he did.

«What do we do with the pups?» he asked. «Leaving the base is too dangerous, you know... We can't go to the forest cabin, like last time.»

«It's an emergency. We'll survive it for this once,» Lara said, rather calmly.
