Twilight started to infiltrate the windy mountains outside Kabang and the crickets invaded its silence. He had packed several fruits contained in coconut leaves designed basket, however its not durable so someone has to tightly hold it with both hands. He also carefully organized around 30 daisies leaning on the 'anahaw' leaf surrounded by the green banana leaves.
Once done, he left the secret entrance and Baldur securely closed it while he covered the doorway with withered leaves. On his way going back to station one, he did not use anything to light his way but walked straight and ferociously heard the sound of the Japanese aircraft carrying machine guns. He walked so fast and reached the cave almost 1900 hrs. Upon his arrival, Albrecht gave him a towel and he relaxed for a while.
" Where's Magee?"
" She's in the comfort room."
" Ah, I see. How's Malapague?"
" People felt it homey. The elderly chanted and kissed stones, whatsoever. They're overly excited to stay there. Our team were busy cleaning and checking the guns from the cave number two." He smiled to Albrecht.
He closed his eyes a little and decided to take a nap but he paused for a while.
Albrecht, is she not finished yet? we're already done chatting for around fifteen minutes but still she didn't show up. Will you please check her there."
"George! George! she's not anymore here!"
"My goodness!" George rushed and climbed to the mabolo tree going out to its entrance, facing the cliff. But he has to go back to get his dagger. When he reached his place again there was never any dagger anymore.
" She brought my dagger and hers?"
He ran and climbed back upstairs to the mabolo door and slowly followed the trail towards the ground. Upon reaching the ground, he then descended and had a battle with the tall grasses without any footwear and with just his loose jeans. In the bushes, he walked off more careful because he already had bruises out of the tree branches, grass thorns and ant bites. He was on his way to Magee's house and his speculation was correct, he saw her through the lamp's lit crawling on the ground while biting a dagger in her mouth. George was sweating, seeing that scenario where the Japanese soldiers played some games just a few meters away. In addition to his tension was the moment when she rolled off to the other side and gently pushed the floor where it opened so easily. She stood up and there she was lost out of his sight. George shrugged his shoulder with trembling hands and shaky heart coupled with sweats dazzling around his body. In any minute he's ready to fight against approximately 3-5 soldiers equipped with hand guns. He bit his lips and with fainting face he breathe in and out. When he looked back to the house again, Magee was already in the kitchen and seemed putting something on the table then immediately got down the floor and went down on the ground. Still tiptoeing, she reached where George was hiding and when George removed the dagger out from her hand she suddenly slipped and glided down, took the other dagger from her leg and stabbed his thigh.
" Argh!" He badly felt too much pain.
"George?" She whispered while squatting on the ground.
" Out of fear, she attempted to remove the dagger but George gently swayed off her tiny hands away from it.
Instead of getting the dagger buried in his thigh he grabbed her hand and they left the place.
Albrecht was waiting and prepared the bamboo stairs going up to the mabolo tree. He was shocked after hearing from George the situation.
" I'll get back to check the blood on your way here."
" No need. It will rain. Magee, you go up first."
When they reached inside the cave Albrecht operated it under the supervision of George and underwent at least 6 surgical stitches.
"Magee, come." Albrecht angrily called her.
"Albrecht, don't pinch her ear, don't hurt her. Its my fault because I did not make any sound first." George said.
Magee was so apologetic and even teary eyed. Instead of going to her brother she went on his side inside his place.
"I'm very sorry." She said.
" Don't go there anymore Mag, Hakanori will imprison or kill you, please, stay here." He put his fingers to some hair covering her face. "See, your hair are full of dirt. There are leaves, pebbles, small sticks because you rolled like an army girl on the ground." He smiled at her while crying.
Then she stood up and went to her place just next to him and sat down on bed.
" What did you do there?"
" I put poison in their viand."She replied.
" It's too risky." He commented.
"You better joined the combatants assigned to Russia or in Guam. Good if you have enough hand guns, or a warrior of an aircraft machine gun or a tank operator. Your feet maybe could be freer to fight enemies unlike this time, you almost kill your husband."
Magee and George were very silent on their separate places. No one from them has attempted to talk anymore.
Albrecht was still flaring with anger and sat down on the kitchen table still murmuring.
" That's the problem now. Even if how tight our security is, if someone from us does not know how to protect others, still the unprecedented plan could easily become a turmoil. Hopefully, tonight is a lesson.
She went out and drew closer to his brother.
"Albrecht, I'm very sorry, I just hate those soldiers from staying and using my house."
" I don't care! Its just a house! What we're fighting for is more than your house. Don't be silly!"
" O, take care of your victim! and I can't guard you anymore, you're more than a hard-headed child."
" Albrecht don't go."
" You stabbed him so you have to treat him well, apply him some medicine from the kit. Imagine! you've just stabbed our 1Lt, he's a lot of tasks to do with his combatant men but you paralyzed him. What have you done Magee?"
She moved more closer and talked to him deeply and whispered.
"I admit all my faults but honestly I had no idea that he'll go after me. I'm sorry in multitude."
