The arrival of newcomers

As they had said in other meetings plus what the Captain told me was already a fact, we Alphas were to choose 2 places near the wall, some of the ship were of high rank, so it was easy for them the title of Alpha, 3 Navy girls, 2 aviation and a couple of military corps, they already had a small group of their squadron so adapting civilians did not complicate them.

What I hated most was one detail, they did not mix us with the new guys as according to them it would be breaking up a large formation, already seeing 3 Scouting Alphas I was to go to the fort and the others would catch on and take another building, with the mix of my color and others of theirs, just like their insignia.

I had no problem with the others, but when I simply said that my partner would be Alejandro it was a "land swallowing"; that was undoubtedly an arranged marriage you could say so, since neither of us consented to such an act, our captains as interested parents sealed the deal and logically as soon as I protested Alejandro already supported me to a point that we synchronized the phrases, we both realized by the laughter of the others and one of the new Alphas called Samir said

Samir: Unbelievable, you are the same, I understand why such an order. -Arabic accent-.

Me: but what are you saying, don't you see that we are like water and oil. -uncomfortable-

Alejandro: -slamming the table with a hard blow-

Harry: That's enough, you two. -shouting-

My desire of wanting to make mincemeat of him was enormous, but after a long scolding to both of us, with threats so to speak, we had to agree, what made me more angry was to go with him, wait for him to look for his things and then wait for me and from there choose the closest building to the wall and install us.

I mentally tortured Alejandro in many ways, when they saw us they greeted me formally and I feigned a slight discomfort for a last minute mission, I let him explain a fake mission and why I was escorting him and waited, while he was upstairs I looked at the dinosaurs in his area and while I went inside for some knick-knacks I returned to my post.

When he saw me he just raised an eyebrow and I smiled shyly and passed him one of the knick-knacks, when we were a little bit retired he explained me what he told them and I understood that we should say the same thing to make it more real, I just nodded and we went to my side, I just told Isaiah to tell that mission lie and I told him the truth, omitting some things.

This one asked me to let him know even if it was something curious and he would be alert, I just smiled and explained him that it would be ok and that he should also let me know, I went downstairs a bit fast and saw how this time he grabbed 2 small bottles of mineral water.

Me: -smiled as I watch him drink water- sorry if I'm late, we can go.

Alejandro: relax, in fact you were faster than me.

I decided to ignore that curious compliment and we went to the area, when he saw the same thing I saw his reaction was similar to mine, we went carefully as it was almost night, the doors 2 of the 3 buildings worked well, so I let him change places with me and go up to look for a better angle, after going down he indicated me the building, when he was going to knock on the door I stopped him and told him

Me: I see some keys on the table over there -putting down his bag and looking for his shirt to drown out the sound-.

Alejandro: ok, you lead the way.

After breaking a small window I entered carefully and opened the door for him, I carefully stepped on the glass and we grabbed several keys from the 5th floor up, and saw its angles, as we were inside there wasn't much danger but we still had to be careful.

We arrived at floor 5 guided by his flashlight and opened the doors, I decided to wear a mask as I sensed that there would be a smell of corpses, so I went through the house and took out 2 bodies while I promised to take care of their house, in total we took out 5 bodies since the last one we saw was a family with small children, it gave me so much pain that I avoided crying in front of Alejandro. After so much research we saw that the 6th floor was the closest to the wall, we left the bags and slept in the living room, as we were exhausted.

In the middle of the morning we decided to take the bodies out and burn them, we could not bury them properly because of the smell, we checked the whole building and they were the only ones. I went back to the role of housekeeper, so I cleaned the broken glass and we checked which key opened the door, then we would see what logo to make, since we were both Navy superiors.

I checked the apartment we had chosen and cleaned the refrigerator, taking out what was contaminated and what could still be useful, the previous owners were apparently newlyweds, which made me a little uncomfortable just remembering that discussion.
