Kapitel 51: Natalie Galagher is Her Real Name.

"Damn, he is sexy," Garth said as he looked at Anton's picture.

"You're damn right, she is," I said as I kept staring at her picture.

Suddenly, a hard object hit me in the back. Garth felt it too, and when I turned my head back, I saw two angry girls. Maria was hitting me with her helmet, and Cecile hit Garth by using the stock of her rifle.

"Guys, Could you be more focused on this urgent thing?" Maria growled at me.

"How? I just couldn't believe that he, I mean, she is gorgeous," I said as I showed the picture of her to Cecile and Maria.

"What should we do now?" Cecile asked because she was concerned about her since the discovery of his real gender.

"Should we call him Anton or Natalie?" I asked them.

"I don't know. What are you planning to do with him?" Maria asked me back.

"I'm planning to draft him like what I do to Andrew," I said.

"Ok, are you planning to rescue him?" Maria asked me in her EOD suit.

"Good question. How?" I asked them all.

"Let's return to Anton's room. It's hot in this EOD suit. We will discuss how to rescue him later," Maria said as she began to walk back to the council building. We followed her from behind.

I entered her room first, then followed by the others. I grabbed some paper from Anton's desk. I grabbed a pencil and eraser and put my phone on the table while showing the compound photo.

"First thing first. Should we call him Anton or Natalie?" I asked them.

"Natalie, I think, she must have a certain reason why he dressed up as a boy every time. I think she has a connection with the war between the Algary and the Easliphate kingdom. You knew that Algary lost in the war," Maria said as she sat at the coach.

"I agree with Maria to call her Natalie. How about you Garth," Cecile asked him as he polished her HK 416.

"No comment, she is still our friend. The fact that he is a she makes the rescue operation very urgent. If she is a boy, I agree with Wilson to not rescue him," Garth added.

"I agree. Being a female slave is pretty rough, isn't it?" I asked them as I sat on Natalie's desk.

"Yes, you will be raped, tortured, treated like an animal, and dumped once you are priceless," Cecile said angrily.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"That's what happened to my mom," She said as tears began to fall from her eyes.

"I'm sorry to hear that. We will find your parents soon. BTW Garth, how are your parents?" I asked them.

"They're dead, I saw it with my own eyes. Don't worry, you had already killed the murderer 7 years ago. So I don't have any grudge left on my heart," Garth said without any emotion showing from his face.

"Back to the topic, How do we rescue him?" I asked Maria as I grabbed a pen in my hand.

"How about stealth infiltration? We sneaked to their fortress during the night while avoiding the guards that were guarding the compound. We only killed the ones that really obstruct our ways between Natalie and us. Go to her cell, then rescue her. Simple, right?" Maria said as she described her plan on a piece of paper.

"How do we extract out of that hot zones? We carried an injured person here," I asked her.

"We used the Blackhawk to exfiltrate out of the hot zone," She replied.

"Doing that while dodging arrow and anti-air magic spell? Good luck with that. Garth, what do you have on your mind?" I asked him.

"I think first, I will conduct air support with an F-15E from the base. Then Maria and Wilson will go with a full battle dress to rescue her. Cecile will stand by in a Blackhawk waiting to exfiltrate both of you," Garth added his plan.

"It's a good idea if our op is a Search and Destroy op. I think it's better if we don't kill the prisoner because you conduct an airstrike, which will cause a friendly fire which will kill Natalie for sure," I said.

"How about we do a pseudo stealth infiltration?" Cecile added her idea.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"You and Maria will be posed as potential buyers for their slaves. You will wear noble clothing while wearing the battle dress underneath. You asked them to buy a slave that looks like Natalie. Once you found her, release her from her cell, then Garth and I will do an attack run using the Blackhawk." She said.

"Ok, That's a good idea, but how do we posed as a slave buyer if we even don't have any noble clothing?" I asked Cecile.

"We could buy it in the nearest clothing store," She said.

"Ok, we got another problem, as it turned out that Viali's village landlord doesn't like us. He plans to send his army to attack us if we continued to interfere with his business, It turned out that he is Charlotte's father. What should we do?" I asked them.

"Draft her into the army of ours, plain and simple right? She can act as our deterrence against his father. His father will be stunned if he finds out that his daughter and her servant is fighting him in the front line," Maria said as she opened her EOD helmet.

"Ok, we will do that on Friday night, we got a week holiday next week, right?" I said to them.

"Yes, I agree with Wilson," Garth said to me.

"Have General Meyer made preparation in case Charlotte's father army suddenly attack our base?" Maria asked me.

"She has already deployed the 28th Mechanized Infantry and the 79th Fighter squadron. If he is going to attack us, he is foolish indeed," I said as I draw Cecile's plan in the blueprint.

"Ok, Anything else we had to discuss?" Maria asked me as she released her EOD suit.

"Nothing else for now, so our schedule is to kidnap Charlotte this Friday and rescue Natalie next week. Any question?" I asked them all.

"That's all I think, I don't have any question," Cecile said.

"From here and out, Anton Collins is considered to be dead because I will enroll her in this school as a transfer student, but I will use a different name than Natalie Galagher. I don't want her life to be in danger, she will dress more like a girl after we rescue her," I said to them.

"Okay, everyone, dismissed," Maria hit the table with her hands as we bring Anton's nameplate out of her room.

We walked out of the council building then headed to the nearest trash can. I held her nameplate on my left hand, then I held that hand above the trash can.

"Anton, from here on out, you are considered to be K.I.A," I said as I dropped her nameplate into the trash can.
