182 Waking up on his Arms

" He's not getting out yet. Such a great husband and nurse aside from being a well-trained soldier." Cerenia stoically uttered.

" He risked everything just to get her, and imagine it just took for hours. But I guess they can't get back to their house that has been found, I've heard it's a well-furnished house given to them by their fathers as gift after marriage. The couple have been through a lot of struggles even before we came." Alexandra then whispered to Eunice.

It was already past midnight when George got out from his wife's place and asked Baldur to stay beside his wife while he take a bath and requested Albrecht's a little time to cook for porridge.

Interestingly, Amado then arrived three hours after Albrecht's arrival to station one and brought with them the captain and Sr. Sibal whom Amado has given some medical attention. The two folks and the rest have minor surgeries; both sadly hit with bayonnette and gunshots but because Aseko's target that time was the lieutenant's wife so he never even bothered whether he has killed everyone in the tunnel or not; as long as he'd climbed up to the granite house with his comrades who rescued him. While reporting to Amado all these, his sight had caught someone sitting on the corner, smiling.

" Bastian! it's you! haha! my brother...it's been a while." Amado was overwhelmed and went to his brother and embraced him tight. Everyone were emotional and just left them alone, chatting. While the brothers conversed, the soldiers, guerrillas and civilians unfolded their beddings and rested since almost morning of April, 1941.

Without further delay, the lieutenant was done bathing and immediately urged Baldur so he could go to sleep. While looking at his wife through a lit from the candlelight, his heart was beaming with happiness despite the bitter event she'd been.

" It's me...ssshhh..,..it's me....sshhh...it's George. Calm down, you're home now. It's post-trauma, just deal with it,. Mag, it's alright now."

She started to cry and the people around just covered their ears out of pity. Meanwhile, she calmed down while the lieutenant allowed her to slightly leaned her back and hugged her while fondling her hair just to give her comfort .

" I was beaten too much."

" But you fought back so hard, I know."

" I tried...I don't know at all. They are supposed to present me to Hakanori a day after you found me. He's coming for me. It's also the reason if why they stopped beating me. Aseko was there, he....attempted to kiss me so I....stabbed him, he never knew this dagger on my leg."

Another soldier came in to that place and shot me but they all brought Aseko outside, bloody. After confiscating my dagger they assigned four guardsmen. Another high-ranking official came in and he was a bit refined and told me to prepare myself the next day. Yes, I know they'll kill me after making me a bait to all of you."

He hugged her more and teary eyed. He took her hands to hold his waist while they both seated on bed. Her tears were outnumbered as she put her chin on his warm shoulder.

" The war will end soon...just hang on being with me in this fight and remain strong but sexy."

She smiled and pinched his side while he prevented his hands to roll anywhere but stayed obedient yet chillingly pressed her shoulders.

"I'll put you back on bed so you can sleep better, you need enough rest. I'm staying beside you."

" But they're planning to retrieve our stocks from the granite house tomorrow, including the weapons."

" Oh dear...they shouldn't do that! We'll gonna go there and bring all our things here." George whispered and when he's assured that she's already sleeping, he promptly got out and summoned Baldur to an emergency plan. Baldur then woke up everyone and when they all gathered in the center, the lieutenant spoke.

" The captain is badly hit and is still resting so I take the responsibility over you. The barracks people will get our supplies out of the mountain tomorrow, before they do that, we'll bring in everything we can. The supplies could help us survive. So, everyone capable of carrying may join us. We'll start right away before dawn strikes. This is what we're going to do. We'll make a longer line and seems it's passing of the hat strategy. It's the quickest way to finish the job before dawn. Our target is to allow all the things to be ferried down the cliff first so its easy for us to transport it to station one. The weapons are last to carry by our soldiers, these are all sensitive and delicate. This is teamwork, understand!" His firm voice woke everyone and smiled.

" Yes, Sir!"

" Good! so let's start doing this now."

"
