Late night

We all gathered in the basement. The air down here dusty and stiff. The sooner we're out from down here the happier I'll be. As of right now the other squads are clearing away the dead bodies. I wonder how they get rid of so much.

"I think Nemo is a spy!" Yakov announced

"I think it's odd that you dragged him away from the fight, plus even stayed with him." Ruf looked at us suspiciously

"Nemo d-definitely isn't a spy he s-saved Elias." Hans stuttered

"Is that the only thing he did for us?" Yakov asked

"I fought alongside you!" I sighed

"He fought as our equal as well." Helga lit a cigarette

"Smoking is prohibited down here." Oliver looked at Helga

She rolled her eyes and continued. Now the basement is smelling terrible and looks cloudy.

"I think for now Nemo is trustworthy." Elias smiled

"Should we go try my cake!" Doris clapped happily

Some people started leaving the basement slowly. Me and Yakov we're the last ones. He tilted his head like he was thinking what to say.

"Have you read the letter I gave you?"

"No, I'm never by myself so I haven't had the chance."

"Read it right now, I'll go to the cafeteria to spare you some time." Yakov starting walking away

He went up the stairs quickly so nobody had time to question what was happening between us. I grabbed the letter out of my pocket. Opening it made me question more.

Dear Nemo,

Meet me outside the barracks later tonight when everyone is asleep.

From,
Yakov

Did he really act like this was important just for a single sentence? I left the basement making my way to the cafeteria. Opening the door everyone was sitting around a table. Everyone was there except Elias.

I sat down close to a corner. Hans and Doris started handing out plates with a piece of "cake" on it. Hans gave me one then gave one to Helga and Yakov.

"Mine looks suspicious, are you trying to poison me?" Yakov asked

"W-why would I do that?" Hans asked

"You grabbed it from a specific side and it looks different than Helga's."

"Everyone's looks different." Doris smiled

He pushed his plate away and put his mask on. Hans sat next to me and started eating. But of course it wasn't peaceful for long.

"Why did you give Helga her piece? Don't think I don't realize what you're thinking!" Ruf crossed his arms

"I d-don't know what y-you're talking about." Hans continued eating

"You're trying to steal Helga!" Ruf got on the table and held Hans by the collar

Hans looked terrified, his eyes were wide with fear. Helga quickly pulled Ruf off the table. Ruf's expression changed from anger to calm and love. Hans got up and left the cafeteria though.

"Wolfgang goes to bed at 10:00, I have 2 minutes to fall asleep." Wolfgang got up clutching his diary and left

Elias walked in and sat down. Everyone looked at him waiting for information.

"The interrogation didn't go well, I guess they found this on accident. Didn't call for backup because they didn't think we had enough people to fight back."
