Back to the camp

Elena walked back, cutting through grasses and trees with her machete as she made her way. After more than an hour of trekking, she finally spotted the familiar area where she had stored her truck.

Once there, she entered her space and prepared the truck going back to military camp.

"Are you really sure about this? You could stay here while I drive. Once I spot people, I'll notify you as soon as possible," she suggested.

"Don't worry, wife. I'm fine, and it's only a thirty-minute drive from the camp," Ethan reassured her and thought.

It would be a hassle to explain to someone once they saw me appear in the truck.

"And what about Poochi? His injury is severe. Leaving him out of the space will definitely reopen his wounds."

"Let's just say Poochi went to the veterinarian clinic," he proposed.

"Are you sure they'll believe that excuse?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
