184 Rebirth of Three Stations

" The Japs are searching for us! They're all over Kabang down to Tikaban area and some are even above us, right now." Baldur just reported while tightly grasping his hand on his rifle.

It was enough and they both gathered everyone in the center after Albrecht and Sibaya threw some water on the furnace and covered it with a wet rag since Alexandra was about to cook some porridge for Magee.

" Everyone, let's all be careful. Up there, and any moment we'll be caught. So while they're on their feet to find us, our movement must be limited since they're keen to movements and noise, we all know that. Once we'll be traced, it would be the end of our fight, we'll be all dead! This is the reality, and so I want you to be courageous as you can. Once they'll find us, you choose in between being caught and be dead of their bayonets or use our. handguns and help each other to get back our freedom. Another thing,. suppose that extreme situation could happen, I want you to confidently hold your gun, pack up only the most precious stuffs in your life and we'll separate ways so they couldn't catch us in group. Furthermore, the exit will be the waterfalls, and if that happens, Isagani will accompany you to their hideout, it's too risky to be there but it's the safest place I know you all can settle down....." George stopped from giving instructions when a loud burst of cannon above them seemed bombing across the river, fronting San Agustin area.

" Boom! boom! boom!"

". Sir...they seemed have seen something across the river and thought it's us that's still escaping this time" Henry whispered while caning his rifle on the ground.

" Precisely." Sr. Sibal nodded while covering his stab wound.

" If that's the case...." George paused when Cerenia raised a hand.

" Sir...me and some of the civilians here are a little worried where...instead of getting away from our enemies, here we're staying too close to them."

" Would it be possible to transfer there in the cliff of that Makasido and Malti border, so as to divide our group into two." Seconded by Eunice who worry the same thing.

". Hmm... Isagani's family there had that hiding place but it's not really that spacious. Besides, it's a bit far from here and if you think of going there today, the soldiers above us I guess will have an overtime in searching for us. Aseko knew that we exist so they won't stop searching for us. Yes, the trail going there isn't safe, especially now that they're hunting us." George uttered.

" But Sir, it's more dangerous here, though its really spacious but now that we're all here, I think we"ll be decongested, see how we slept at night, and..." Eunice pressed her head while Dionesio raised a hand.

" Exactly! we...we also wanted to fight side by side with this army but doing it around is really shaky, we're just a few meters away from the barracks." Alexandra looked at the lieutenant.

" Hmm...I cannot hold you all to stay here but when you decide of coming back, this place will serve you like home. So, after they could vacate out from the surface, we'll divide it into three groups, excluding station one. Each of your team can bring along with you some supplies. Hence, the rebirth of station two, three and four." He smiled looking at them and he saw on their faces the joy and excitement.

George designated Henry, Bruno and Narciso in the plan of creating three groups and reopen station two, three and four while he stayed beside the Captain who was still battling with his post surgery.

" Dad, how is it?"

" It's fine. I only need more rest I guess, I"ve lost a lot of blood. How's my daughter?"

" She's fine, I attended to her outright the rescue but just like you, she deserves rest after all."

" George, I'm too old and so much ruined to lead our troop, lead them anyway."

" Yes Dad, I will. Just give me orders."

" No need, you're capable in everything. Sibal and I were talking about you this morning, Chuck never knew about your potentials anymore, not this far anymore." Then the captain smiled and got back to take a rest.

" Thanks Dad, and it's all because of your trust on me. From that spotless trust I mature."

" Hmm...and you got her, hehe." Tge captain smiled.

" Haha! You first arranged us and I loved what you did. If not without it I have already wasted my life, hmm, thanks Dad.". The lieutenant smiled to the old man but his eyes were closed. Despite closed eyes he spoke.

" Good you never treated her as a headache."

" Oh my...who said that? no, never. She's never a headache to me, in fact, she's...she's the loveliest blessing that ever happened to me, I'm even crazy of her. Story goes on and on like that, hmm. Dad, dad...he's already sleeping."

" I told you, people fall asleep when you share your love story. See that!". Albrecht seriously looked at him without smiling.

" Haha! what a cruel family I have, get lost, haha! Sure they're moving now to follow the San Agustin soldiers, I'll go see my wife."

" San Agustin....I was talking of your love story, not San Agustin soldiers." Albrecht was smiling.

Albrecht left kneeling while putting some blanket ro Edward.

When George saw her smile, his heartbeats began to swing on and on.

" George...I need to go to the bathroom and tidy myself." Then Magee attempted to stand up but he right away carry her so lightly on his arms.

" Oh dear...people are watching, I...I...can slowly walk, hmm...I'm a bit heavy....and..."

He kissed her while his hands pressed her tight as they approached the bathroom. Baldur was following them and opened the door for them as he brought a bamboo chair for Magee to use.

" Brother..." The lieutenant smiled while looking to his brother-in-law.

" Yeah,..I'm leaving, I only opened the door and put this chair inside."

" It's okay kuya,. just bring my husband back to the meeting, right George?" Magee smiled while he gently put her down and went out with Baldur. After a minute the lieutenant has returned and kissed her once, twice, thrice then left her smiling while he got back to the meeting.
