The man that said that, the man who's standing in front of us was Felix.
" Yo-you're alive...! "
Shino said.
" Kind of? "
He laughed.
" Felix? Pal you're alive! "
Tobi rushed towards him and smiled.
" Thanks for saving me bud. "
He added.
" What happened? You got these crutches too huh. "
Felix asked him.
" Yeah, I kinda broke some bones but it'll be alright in no time! "
He answered.
" Anyways, I'll be discussing the plans with you. "
I said and we went near the stairs.
" So, it's nice to that you're saved Felix. "
I said and tapped his back.
" Alright so, all of us will go at a certain location where weapons are buried at the ground. If we were able to locate it, Raymond will help us to get our base back. "
I explained.
" Mhmmm. Understood, I'll prepare my things then. "
He said.
" Huh? No, you're not coming with us. You need to recover and when we're back, we'll go back to our home. "
I replied.
" But I want to come. I wanna help you guys- "
He was trying to make me agree but I stopped him.
" Shush, no buts. "
I said.
" Just wait here and we'll do the work. "
I added.
" Well I can't say no to you can I? "
He laughed and stood up.
" I'll talk to you later, you can go back to the room and rest again. "
I said.
" Will do Chris, it's nice to be back on track. "
He smiled and went back at the medical room.
* It's nice to be back Felix. I'll definitely get our base back. *
" Oh hey there Chris! "
Samantha approached me.
" Hey...how are you? "
I asked her.
" I'm good. Still preparing stuffs and getting ready. "
She answered.
" Thank god, Felix's alive. "
I told her.
" I'll probably visit him later. Here, take this. "
She handed me a chocolate bar and I hid it inside my pocket.
" Thank you Sam. You should probably go visit him. "
I smiled.
" Yeah I'll be going now. See ya! "
She said and went to visit Felix.
I closed my eyes trying to rest.

15 Minutes Earlier
I went back to the medical room and saw Shila looking down.
" Hey...what's wrong? "
I asked her.
" Nothing. "
She looked at me and I saw her teary eyes.
" Something's wrong for sure. It's alright, tell me. "
I went towards her and sat in my bed beside her.
" I'm happy that you're safe.. "
She smiled.
I grabbed her by her shoulders and let her head rest on my shoulders.
" I am too, but something's bothering you and I know that for sure. "
I whispered at her ears.
" Well...when you guys get those stuffs..you guys will go back to your base and I'll be alone here again.... "
She answered.
* Chris needs me but I love Shila. I can't just leave someone that I love. *
" I won't ever leave you. Chris is a wise man and I know that he can manage to lead our base alone. I love you Shila. "
I whispered right at her ears and looked at her eyes.
" I..I love you too Felix... "
She replied.
Our eyes both met and she stood up.
" I need to continue my work now.. "
She said and turned back.
I grabbed her arms and I turned her in front of me.
" Hm? "
She asked.
I pulled her and kissed her.
{ Samantha's POV }
" I'm going in! "
I announced.
Once I opened the door, I saw something that I didn't expected.
Felix and Shila were kissing.
" Woah! "
I screamed.
" I'll just wait outside- "
I said then I walked back near the door.
They both stopped and Shila went in front of me blocking the door.
" No no! We're sorry for what you saw... "
She said.
" All good for me..I can wait back outside if you guys want me to? "
I asked.
" No don't. I'll be going outside to grab some supplies. "
Shila smiled.
" But I thought all you need were already here right? "
I asked her.
" Uh I need some hot tea so see you! "
She opened the door and went outside.
* Heh. *
I looked back at Felix.
" Uh I'm sorry..it's my fault. "
He said.
" No it's normal. "
I replied.
I grabbed an apple from the table and threw it at Felix.
" You're welcome. Anyways, how are you feeling? "
I asked him.
" I'm feeling better now I guess. But I kinda feel useless because I can't come with you guys. "
He explained.
" Well it's for the best. Don't worry, Chris will definitely succeed and get his base back. "
I announced.
" Mhmm. You're right about that. "
He replied.
" I'll be going now then. "
I said and went to open the door.
" Well you see... "
He whispered.
* Huh? *
" What? "
I asked.
" Can you please close the door first? "
He said.
I closed it and went near him.
" Well you see...I haven't decided yet if I'll be coming back from our base.. "
He whispered.
" Huh? Why? Chris needs you- no every people needs you. "
I explained.
" Well, I don't wanna leave Shila alone. She's got a big role here and she can't come with us you know? "
He said.
" I don't know what you are planning but- just talk to Chris about this instead. "
I suggested and sighed.
" I will, I'm just waiting for the right time. Please let me explain it to him. "
He begged.
" I won't say anything. Don't worry I'm not like the bad guy here. "
I laughed.
" Thank you so much. "
He said and I went back outside.
" See ya. "
I closed the door then went back to Chris.
* Oh, he's already sleeping. *
I sat beside him and saw Christopher's friend.
" Chino? "
I asked him while he's approaching us.
" Shino. "
He corrected me and leaned at the wall.
" So will you come with us? "
I asked him.
" I will, I don't wanna be a burden on Chris. I want to help him. "
He answered.
" Well this might come handy. "
I handed him a box of bullets.
" Thank you Samantha, this will really help. "
He said and smiled.
" No worries. "
I said.
" So, you got a girlfriend? "
I asked him.
" Hmm, not really. I don't. But there's a girl that I admire. "
He said and saw his face turning red.
" Ah, what's her name? "
I asked him.
" Well she got a nice name, it's Monica. "
He answered.
" Oh, I see. When we're back at the base, she'll be yours for sure. "
I said and smiled.
" I hope so. "
He whispered and sat down.
" Goodnight. "
I said and I closed my eyes.
" I'm sorry Samantha...I couldn't protect you.. "
Someone whispered.
* Huh? I already slept? *
I opened my eyes and saw Chris at my arms.
* What- WHY THE HELL IS HE BLEEDING?! *
He looked at me and smiled.
" Thank you...for everything. I'm grateful...that I was able to meet you again.. I...love..you... "
He said and his eyes closed slowly.
" No...no no..Chris don't..THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE....HELP ME! EVERYONE I NEED YOUR HELP!! "
I shouted as loud as I can but lights turned on and I saw an empty place.
We were inside an empty room.
" HELP!! "
