Boris raised me up and said, “Isaac. Meet everyone at the main entrance of Main at 07:30 pm. You will know the details then.”
Isaac saluted Boris and said, “Can I bring along Jin and the gang. You know they are eager to hold a gun and shoot.”
Boris eyed him and said, “This will not be a show to see who looks better shooting!”
Isaac said, “I know. I know. Don’t worry. We promised to be in service to Red for the rest of our lives. Also, can’t say no to a pretty lady.” He winked at me and I blushed. Boris was so irritated and said, “Yes. Yes. We got to go.”
We walked and I waved good bye to Isaac. I said, “So, what’s the grand plan?”
He looked at me and said, “John will tell me. In the meantime, we are heading to the ward and get you rested.”
I stopped and said, “Wow Boris. Were you back there? Did you hear the story?”
He sighed and said, “Yes. The plan will be implemented tonight!” He looked at his wrist and said, “It’s not even 11:00 am.”
I said, “Oh.”
He smiled at me and said, “Now I know where you got your eagerness and crazy wild self from.”
I frowned and I didn’t want to reply. He looked at me then motioned to walk with him.
We reached the Main building and entered. We headed upstairs to the ward and we went to a room where doctors were sitting in a lab. He went to talk to the doctor and then came over and said, “Lina. Just go with Dr. Mendez. I will be back later. Ok?”
I nodded my head and he went out the door. The doctor motioned for me to go with him and we entered another room across the hall. I laid on the bed and he hooked me up to a machine and said, “I will keep checking on you every hour. A couple of soldiers will come soon and guard the door.”
I said, “Soldiers?”
He said, “Oh you know the general. He can’t function at all knowing someone is vulnerable and away from him.”
I sighed and said, “That sounds exactly like him.”
The doctor chuckled and said, “Just relax. We will take care of you.”
I stared at the ceiling wondering how slow this day has been. Everything that has happened to me the past week was incomprehensible. I wanted it to end. I felt my head was so heavy and I fell asleep.
I woke up and I felt my hands were clasped. Boris had his head on my chest too. I said, “Boris?”
He raised his head and looked at me smiling. He said, “It’s time to go.”
I gasped and said, “What time is it?”
He said, “08:45 pm and everyone is ready.”
I gasped and said, “What? How did I sleep for that long?”
He said, “I brought a bullet proof vest for you and a couple of guns. Remember to stay with me at all times.”
I nodded my head and I tried to raise myself up. I couldn’t because he kept pushing me down and staring at me. I said, “Boris?”
He said, “I don’t want you to go, but you will hate me if I don’t let you.”
He helped me put on the vest and secure it. I stood up and placed the guns on each side of my waist. I gestured that I was done and ready. I walked to the door and tried to open it but he pulled back my other hand. I looked back and he kissed me really hard. It was like a final kiss to say farewell. He wouldn’t stop for over a minute then suddenly the panel on his wrist beeped. He stopped to look at it and sighed. He hugged me and said, “Always know that I love you no matter what happens.”
