Trouble in operation

"Thank for hard work"

"It's my duty. I don't mind. Please pardon me, I will go to rest."

"Good night"

"Good night" I replied.

I exited clinic tent. Fortunately, they don't recognize me. Maybe the situation was so hassle that they don't have a mind to notice every detail. They were just busy doing their work to recover government. They are very patriotic now.

I walked through the camp while watching people practice.

"Now where I will find intel."

While I was observing for a while, I realized one thing.

Usually the intel will be stored in the most secure place but the problem is this place is temporary camp. This means my trip can be wasted since there is no way information was kept in here. I don't want this trip is going to waste so I have plan B for this situation. I will steal their radio so that I can hear what they say and know the situation around the world or in the country. After that, I will replaced the broken one so they won't hold doubt about this.

Maybe they will doubt in future but at that time, I was already far from them.

My identity may be exposed in process and I may be arrested forever. However, I like this feelings. The feeling of hiding in enemy base while searching intel, it's surely tense and nervous. And also, it's worth despite the risk of dying old in prison.

I pretended walking to my tent while army were running towards me. I blended in those people and ran with them.

'The security have many holes which I can exploit.' I thought while running.

I looked at guards observing on watch towel and alley near me. I remembered their positions and structure of this camp. Now I need to wait them neglect one moment. And then, I cut the line and went into tent whose appearance was different from others. I used their huge body to block sight. I smoothly reached my destination.

"Turn out it's easy than I thought." I mumbled. Not daring to say loud.

I walked towards the desk where a lot of paper was scattering on it.

Just looking over it, I have headache.

"Too many paper and words"

"The owner must be a lazy guy" I commented when looking this place.

"He need to clean this mess." I walked towards the military radio placing on desk.

Stuffing it into my clothes, I took out the broken one that I had prepared before.

"I wonder is this the correct one." I inspected the radio.

"Let's check it for sure" I turned the radio on.

"..."

"General. This is Rika. How long are you going to send rescue."

"..." I don't know what to reply.

"Hmm. This is Rina. General's assistant. Can you tell me more detail?" I said.

"Rina. Who are you? I never heard you in military camp."

"That is … because I have just recruited recently."

"Really. Then what is your military ID." the voice from radio coldly asked.

'Oh crap.'

"Let me see …" I fumbled for any useful information on table.

"My ID is **-***-**. Is this satisfied your?" I read what is written on paper.

"It's enough. Then where is general?"

"He is going to toilet so I will charge here for a while."

"He is going to back soon. Do you want to say to general? I will transport it for you." I said.

"Okay. The problem here is I'm out of ammo. If you won't send the rescue here, other survivors will be exhausted and dead soon. I need him to send reinforcement quickly." the other side angrily shouted.

'So what I had to respond. I'm the outsider so it's hard to know their relationship.' I thought inwardly.

"Don't worry. The general will send the rescue soon." I kindly answered. 'How soon. I don't know'

"What. He already said it 3 times and why I don't see anyone."

"That's because everyone is busy … to come up a plan." I answered.

"Plan. Why took it so long. I already requested this last week."

'How should I reply to this.'

"We are arranging people to rescue. If no problem occurs, we can save you in this week."

"... you better do it or I will shot you"

"You should say that to general. I'm only supporting here. By the way, can you tell where are you now?"

"We're currently sheltering in hotel. We will move tomorrow. Here is the address we will go."

I heard her saying address.

"Can you repeat it again" I took the pen. Preparing to write it down on my hand.

She said that address again.

"Thank for cooperating. Be careful. The world now appears many strange monster and crazy human."

"Oh. It's turned off." I stuffed it in small backpack.

"It's time to go." I turned preparing to leave the scene.

"Rika. This name is familiar. Where I heard it." I racked my mind to find.

"Now I remember. She is sensei's friend. That is why I'm familiar with her name."

"If that so, Saya and others will be there. I excited now."

"Hey. Who are you?" suddenly, a man voice rang out behind me. I turned back with my hat pulling down. It was a middle age man with gray hair.

"What are you doing with those paper and my radio?" he pointed at me. He glared at me for a while until.

"Intruder"

He quickly pressed the button. Immediately, the siren rang out.

"You are not going anywhere."

"This night is going to blazing."

"Hey you. What are you doing?" he looked at me with the gaze containing killing intention as if he can kill with eyes alone but unfortunately for him, I experienced this many time before.

I drew the knife from my clothes and kept my stance up.

"It's not obvious. I escape this place" I slashed fabric of the tent making a way to run.

"Bye bye." I dashed out. After I left, he reached for the radio.

"Fuck. Why it's not working." in his rage, he threw the radio to the ground. While I was running away with my life put on it.

"Troop. Chasing him." I can heard him shouting behind me.

'This disguise is useless now. I need a new one.' I observed surround to find a new identity.

In the end, I can't find a suitable role to leave this place quietly.

In this situation, they will isolate this place until they find imposter.

"I shouldn't have remained in that place" I now regretted because it was my fault. I'm still naive.

In the chaos, I dodged wave of people hastily moving. Look like they don't have idea what is going on.

After a while, the siren stopped. Many people were waiting in the center of camp waiting to announce what happened. While I was hiding.

"I screw up many thing." I mumbled in dark place. Place I was hiding was different from other. It was built with brick.

I sat on the barrel.

"I think I was safe for short time. So what should I do." I questioned myself.

"If I go out there and surrender, what await for me is endless investigation and torment so this choice out of table."

"Now it's my only chance. They are still not aware of my existence." while I was thinking, I glanced the barrel that I was currently sitting. I think I read something dangerous. I lit the match to see it.

The moment the fire illuminated, my back was sweating profusely.

[gasoline]

That is what written on it. I was near death door.

I quickly distinguished fire.

"That was close."

Suddenly, I came up a idea that can help me out of this dilemma.
