" Hmm...the usual route could be slippery so we'll alter it through northeast and go down the cliff and directly proceed to station one while only me, Baldur and Albrecht will go back to the granite mountain. Hmm...but the sacks were too heavy, they needed backups, ah, I'll just go along with my comrades and instruct Albrecht to return home and Baldur will stay with me." Then he started to pack up. However, all the rest quickly stretched when they saw the lieutenant packing up and lighted up by the candle.

" Sir, we're ready."

" Shh...Henry, you're still asleep, shh..." The lieutenant whispered and slowly supported him to get back on his space and George signaled to everyone to stay quiet but Albrecht, who knew Henry a little, drew closer and calmly uttered.

" Ehem...we're leaving now. Just go back to sleep."

" What?" Henry attentively stood up and was totally awakened.

" Haha! Henry's comrades were laughing while fixing their things and so Henry went to the cave's nook, smiling and tidy himself.

Minutes after, they all got out and it was truly a difficult exit, most of them were shaky to get out of the hole and climbed on the edge, grasped the roots toward the surface, but the process of doing so was terribly gut-wrenching. It was foggy but Isagani ran to retrieve the sacks of rice under the caladium leaves. Henry and comrades then equally divided the sacks of rice and they have it all by buddy system just to lighten up the burden of transporting it all. In a while, George started to talk and walked side by side with Albrecht.

" Bro, how's our radio, can we still use it to wire the Armed Forces of the Philippines nearby."

" It's still at the Buccaneer's cave, not really sure if it's still there or confiscated maybe? The last time I remember, it was safely hidden below the piled up blanket inside Buccaneer. Why suddenly thought of it when you even prevented to use it before for the Japs might intercept us?"

"Hmm...just tryin' to consider the accessibility of our location if we transfer the radio above the granite house, isn't it possible?" George whispered.

" Possible. It's a perfect spot to communicate through radio, but may I ask if why you suddenly think this collaboration again when they already came to visit us just recently.
