"Ivan, Nicolas, Kara, Lisa, Maria and Octavia, we are free. I hope you guys are ready for your new life far away from the horrors our superiors have created."
The first thing that happened to us after we entered the helicopter was being congratulated by the whole crew.
"That's was some bloody work you guys did there. I'm sorry for your losses."
"Thanks, Samuel. Before we leave, I have to tell you something to everyone actually. Doctor Jarl picked every single one of us for one last mission and that mission is to leave our past and begin a new life. I and my team will search for Doctor's son, Eric Jarl, and join him."
"*sigh*that explains a lot. We lost any sort of communication with the HQ after fifteen minutes. All of us are people how disliked the leaders. We barely do any mission that was about killing innocent people. At first, I thought that this was just a random made team, but now, I understood the bigger frame. We will come with you guys then. After all, you will need a way to arrive there safely. Am I right?"
Hearing his words, I couldn't hide the smile that appeared on my face. I've got to say that I had my doubts at first, but now that we are in this together, we may stand a chance to restart our lives.
"Thank you, Samuel. You don't know how much it means to us."
"Haha, I know mate I know. Just like my old man said to me once, my brothers were ready to stand side by side with me in the face of danger and death. How could I not stand by their side when they needed my help? What I'm trying to say is that we are a team all of us and we have to stay together."
"I know that. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thinks so."
"Now that all of us are on the same page, can you tell me where we should go? "
"I don't have the exact location of Eric's place, but from Doctor Jarl told and showed me, his son base should be somewhere in the Piedmont National Wildfire Refuge."
"I know that place mate. It's quite a nice place. Many animals are living there and don't get me started on how many useful plants can be found in that forest."
"He chooses well and that's a good leader trait. Let's go…"
"Brother! Look. There are survivors at that prison."
I took my binoculars and looked through the helicopter window. Nicolas was right, there is a group of survivors in the prison yard, and from what I can see they weren't inmates, or at least they don't look like ex-inmates.
I turned my head towards Samuel, nodding when I saw him looking at me.
"We are going near the prison maybe we can help them somehow or maybe they could help us."
"Prepare yourselves in case we will be greeted by hostiles."
<Eric Jarl POV>
"The helicopter is coming towards us. What do you think about it, Maxson?"
"There are a lot of variables, but I'm pretty sure that their primary target was that huge creature. As for why would they fly towards us … they are coming for us, though I'm not sure for what reason. My best suggestion is to prepare for combat in the worst case. We can place snipers in the guard towers and have troops on the ground behind some cover."
"That would surely work and in the best case they would just fly over us and left us alone."
"Sir, I don't think that will happen. We after all are civilians and active military personnel. They are tasked with finding survivors and bring them to the closes base or refuge center, where the survivors will be assigned to different jobs."
"No way in hell, I'll accept that. We will be ready. Have all of the fighters ready, but don't open fire first. We don't know what they want yet, but it's better to be safe and be sorry afterward."
Maxson didn't waste any second and asked around if someone knows how to use a long-distance rifle. Getting two answers from Rick's group, he sends the two men to one of the towers while the sniper from our group was already in the second tower.
I and Rick took the capable fighters with us and created a semicircle defense behind some of the cars that were parked in the yard.
While I couldn't fight properly with just one arm, I could still use a pistol if the situation calls for it.
Five minutes later, the military transport helicopter was hovering above the yard. Slowly the pilots maneuvered the helicopter to touch the ground and in the next second a young man exited the helicopter.
"Good day. My name is Alexander Piercer can I speak with someone that commands or lead this group?"
I turned my head towards Rick, how had the same idea. Seeing that both of us decided to ask the other one, Rick nodded at me and I slowly raised myself.
I could see the soldiers inside the helicopter raising their weapons in my direction ready to fire in case I will try something.
Unfortunately, I had to approach the helicopter a little as the loud noise made by the propeller would make the conversation quite awkward.
When I was somewhere close to the helicopter, I raised my hand in the air while looking at the young man.
"Good day to you Alexander Piercer, may I know what do you guys want from our humble group of survivors?"
"I want to trade information with you guys. Information for information, that's what I want to exchange!"
"Ho? And what type of information would you like to exchange?"
"The location of some hidden depots with weapons and ammo."
"And what do you want to know?"
"The location of someone or if by any chance do you know about his whereabouts. "
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
