Chapter Four - Second one for me too

Ralph is sitting with Mia on a bunker table serving each other some wine and nachos, while Mia is showing him her pictures of other holiday trips she had and kind of fun she did there. What Ralph didn't notice was that he had already spent hours there and he was no longer feeling tired.

Han comes in from nowhere and looks at both of them from head to toe while they are busy looking into the phone.

"I see you've familiarized with each other" said Han softly

"Yes Sir, she is a traveling addict and she has travelled almost every part of the world" said Ralph

"Then you must be aware Solomia is a waitress who works really hard in all her tourist spots to earn her experience"

"Really?...... That's impressive"

"And she looks for rich friends, like yourself"

"I must be lucky"

"And she has fed you with cocaine that has distorted your senses, so you better move back to your bunker before your fiancé finds out what you have jumped into"

"Ohhh.... Lilly.... I should rush back" he says and quickly jumps off the table tripping his glass of wine... "I am sorry"

"Don't worry about that Mr. Chard. You can't rest much under the influence. Try not to get caught by Lilly" Han says as Ralph walks past the corridor a little paranoid

"Don't you like insulting me everywhere" speaks Mia to Han in a stiff tone

"You easily forget you are working Mia, this man is nowhere a concern"

"How can a human stop from liking someone?"

"You really like him?"

"He's a second one for me, the first one turned out an ass/-/073."

"Mia, you are working. Just because you are allowed to drink and smoke in the bunker doesn't mean you are on a holiday. Besides, he came here to get married and most probably he will"

"What are you saying?... argh..... You never get single Frenchmen, do you?"

"You've gotten every countryman; if this one is really special for you then you don't have many days to save that emotion"

"Mia won't miss"

"Mia doesn't know what she is doing. They are tourists, so if the lady on his side speaks against you we'll deport you"

"I-I-Sir" she says and jumps of the table. Smoothly picking her phone, wine bottle and her glass in a seemingly uncomfortable way but taking a gulp every few second on her way back to her bunker.

Han goes straight to Ralph's bunker.

Ralph is sitting in a very uncomfortable way with his legs folded on his bunker bed opposite Lilly's and staring at her. Maybe thinking something.

"Ralph, can I talk to you for a moment" whispers Han

Unaware again of Hans presence, surprised Ralph responds, "Sure"

He calmly moves out of his bed and comes out of his cabin.

"You seem a little sober now, what were you thinking?"

"I was thinking what would Lilly think if she comes to know that I was attracted to a woman so bad"

"The woman is not bad" responds Han

"No, the attraction was" replies Ralph stretching the statement

"I realize what you must be thinking. Be careful, it is nice to know people here. Just don't consume everything they offer. People here are tourists and we do not wish to make it worse for any tourist."

"I realize"

"You know what? My second time of drugs was also cocaine. Did do the magic, but the person I was tripping with took off the next day to the gods, due to overdoing"

"You mean overdosing"

"You seem to know better"

"I'm sorry Han, I didn't mean to. But you know what; mine was the second time too"

"When was your first time?"

"It was when a friend of mine from Spain got a joint of marijuana and said, 'Bro, this stuff will take you to the skies'. After which we enjoyed munching and roaming throughout my hometown"

"See, the chemicals will take a toll. One should avoid it"

"Sure Han, please don't tell Lilly about it"

"O don't worry, but did you really like Mia so much that you have to worry about Lilly?" Han asked

"I can't understand the measuring scale, but she's hot and free willed... kind of attractive as a person you know"

"She is good looking for sure, but her work is to stay and comfort you guys than getting you high. Don't take the comfort bit to your head. If you need something do let me know, I will be right there" Han says while smiling and pats on Ralph's back moving slowly towards his cabin.

Ralph goes back to his cabin to see Lilly was up.

"Where had you been?" she asks

"I was here, just talking to Han"

"What did he say? When do we need to move?"

"He said he'll let us know"

"Okay then. I'll get ready for some adventure quest." she giggles with excitement and gets out of her bed checking some clothes she had in her bag

Ralph jumps into the bed to catch a quick nap and avoid any problems but to his luck Han asks everyone to assemble at the main area through the bunker speakers

"I'm gonna die today" he thinks aloud

"What?" asks Lilly

"Nothing, I'm thinking of the war"

"Don't worry love; your superhero is here with you. I shall protect you till the end of time" she speaks like a movie dialogue and kisses on his cheek

"Let's get ready, Han must be punctual." Lilly continues

"What made you think so?"

"He's a veteran"

"Hmmm.." and then Ralph yawns to make it worse which gets noticed

"Did you not sleep?" Lilly asks

"I did rest but it wasn't good enough I guess"

"Let me see what Han has to say, you can complete a beauty sleep in the presence of your superhero. But if we have to move, I will come and wake you up with a sweet little sugar"

"Of course love, I can join though"

"Nah... I can see you can't yet. But get a quick nap and we should be fine I'm guessing" says Lilly and slides the cabin door slowly.
