Liquor Intoxication

Early in the morning, Baldur and Albrecht had their exit and slowly closed the granite door. Their intention is to reach to the wooden house before sunrise while passing at the foxhole through the cabinet.

"Shh...." Bring some of the pancakes." Baldur told Albrecht while putting the handgun on his shoulder.

" Look at her, hmm, bye goddess, stop drinking liquor too much." Albrecht smiled to his sleeping sister.

" Come on, let's go now. I know its very cold down there so double your jacket." Baldur pulled him.

Then the brothers went down slowly as their footsteps faded and the silence took over.

" Gosh! how come she silently did it. Ah, I better stay away from her so she won't be anxious when she wakes up. I need to find another vials or meds in Dad's kit and I should be strict on her or else her wound will not be healed.

A little while, Magee groaned and slowly moved sideward so he nervously rolled like a 'lumpia' fried on a pan and landed on the floor noiselessly.

" George! George...my head aches." She moaned with pain, pressing her head and still closing her weary eyes.

He right away stood up and rescued like the speed of light.

" Hey, Mag. I boiled some water for your coffee, you can have biscuits with it." He sat beside her.

" You said the lady's drink could not even make my head dizzy." She sheepishly murmured.

" But you have taken a wrong bottle - and you've got whiskey instead. It kicks strongly and you were totally hit by the alcohol."

" George, I might die. I feel this loss of balance, can't stand, having this nausea too."

" Huh! wait here." He went to the kitchen and took some water to drink and he soaked a small towel in a cold water and put it on her forehead just to ease the head's painful hangover."

" What a plenty of water to drink is that George." She complained.

" But this is needed, we need to flush out the alcohol within your body now. This is one way of evading from hangover then let's increase your vitamin C intake. I'll find out for some honey, it could be an option too.

" I should have brought a good flashlight to see if which one was the lady's drink. Its terrible. Ina Lolita could have whipped me if she's with us now."

" Hmm, calm down...first time in drinking isn't always easy - even for men. Its just that the amount you've consumed was indeed disastrous to your body. Okay, let's start flushing it now, drink this." Then she had it and went to the bathroom afterwards.

" The dressing of your wound will follow. I'll wait here." He said.

" I got it, the more my wound suffers from what I did last night, huh!" She murmured.

When she got out, he was waiting at the receiving area, holding the tube of ointment and he had readied a pain reliever for her to drink.

" Mag, let's agree for once." His voice was just so calm while busy pressing the tube and had a cotton filled with ointment applied on the wound's surface.

" W...what's that.." She meekly replied.

" Hmm...you should not be going with us in the next attack. You stay here at home. Get rested for your fast recovery. Isn't this clear." He looked at her with his droopy eyes that's too close to doubt.

She was motionless and nodded.

" So ..you wouldn't insist." He reviewed and follow-up her answer.

" Yes. I'll just stay here. I understand, don't worry anymore." She smiled and he looked at her like she's gluing his soul away.

" Don't...look at me like that. He immediately stood up and returned the emergency kit.

" But hey....you're not yet done. Okay, I get it fixed." She followed cautiously from where he'd placed the kit and tried to finish what George had started. But he returned and removed the scissor from her hand.

"Look up. Don't look at me." He summoned her like the real lieutenant on board.

" Ye...yes." She then looked sideways and overhead. After a couple of minutes he carried and put her carefully on bed then left heading to the bar counter.

" What are you doing there?" She asked in a full blown voice.

" I'm arranging the bottles. Putting the lady's drink below, on the lowest rack and I'll put some label on the exact casual amount to consume for beginners."

She smirked and bite her lips for too much shame. George's explanation was enough to put her in silence. Exactly, he also smiled while arranging the bottles.

" I better sleep and doze myself to dream. I must get healed quickly. I shall be resting. Everytime." Then she fall to sleep.

" Wake up, Mag." He forced her to open her eyes.

" Why."

" Your hair, its still wet. Wait until its dry before you sleep. I intentionally put you there so that you can relax before you sleep, alright."

" Why you seemed mad at me." She smiled.

" There's no reason to be mad. My mind is just preoccupied, just planning."

" I see." She nodded.

So he got back to the kitchen, mopped the floor, extending it to the receiving area and made it all over. After an hour, he checked her and was stunned, seeing her sleeping while sitting down.

" Huh! it must be so tiring! her spine is at risk. If I wake her up again I'm sure I'll be dead." He thought.

" He just continue cleaning and once in a while looked at her as he put so many pillows and towels side by side.

" Sleep tight - my beautiful wife." Then he was inspired exercising, doing household chores just because he's seeing her so gallantly pollinating her charm and prowess - alone with him. In midday, Albrecht emerged from the door, bringing some boiled sweet potatos and sayote leaves for Magee. He also reported to George some updates below and how Amado, Narciso and the remaining American soldiers defended the command.

"While you weren't in the wooden house, Henry found Elias pointing his gun to the balcony while chatting with Gador. Henry thought that they were just kidding but they're laughing and he caught them sharing their plans against us so..." Albrecht stopped.

" So what happened?" The worried lieutenant had asked.

" They're dead." Albrecht bowed his head.

" Goodness!" George whispered while quickly taking a bath then Albrecht prepared the sauce for the boiled sayote on the table.

" Are we going to leave her?" Albrecht verified.

" You stay here while I go and meet everyone for a meeting but it will not take longer. When I return here, we'll swap so Baldur can also come."
