Instant Reinforcements

The citizens inside the bunker were restless, they knew that tonight was the night the Royal Army would attempt to re-take the city.

Leo was sitting alone on a couch and staring at a clock on the wall. He had a stern and concentrated look on his face.

It could have been his expression, or maybe they did so out of fear or respect but nobody would sit near Leo to engage with him in conversation.

Regardless of the reason, Leo was happy to be left alone since he was talking to Dreifus about his ability.

The clock on the wall showed that it was nearly midnight, the time agreed upon for Leo to activate the Gate again.

The people within the bunker all knew the plan and the time it would take place, their anxiety was increasing as the midnight approached.

'It's time.' Leo thought as he stood up from his seat. All eyes were on him as he put his jacket on and walked to the exit.
