Jacob PoV
I was running out of time and still couldn't decide what to do
Maryl (radio): Jacob !? can you hear me ?
I took the radio from my vest and answered
Jacob (radio): Maryl, can you wait a minute?
Maryl (radio) : depends on what you want to do
Jacob (radio): I have to do one important job
Maryl (radio): Jacob, whatever you want to do, don't do, if they notice us, the soldiers will start to crowd everywhere.
Jacob (radio): just wait for me and be quiet
Maryl (radio): Jaco--
I turned off the radio and slowly came out of the hangar, I don't want to leave the little child here, I continued on my way to a small group carrying a small child on a lounger, as soon as I got too close one of the escort soldiers noticed me and aimed his weapon at me
escort soldier: hey where are you going?
Jacob: I ... I ...
everyone in the small group stopped and looked at me
Jacob: I came to take that little brat from you
one man in a white coat with an oxygen mask came closer to me and looked at me
escort scientist: like why ?
Jacob: They want to do a few more tests on that brat
escort scientist: I was commissioned to take this little brat to the ship, I don't know anything about any other tests
damn he's good i have to persuade him somehow
Jacob: If you don't believe me, come with me, they'll definitely confirm it in the lab
he looked at me seriously again before turning and shouting something at the other scientists
escort scientist: I'll go with him and find out what's going on, wait here for me
then he walked over to the bed and began to push him beside me
Escort scientist: so where should I take him?
I pointed to the hangar where I came from
Jacob: There, they're definitely waiting for us there
then we both started walking towards the hangar and I started thinking about getting rid of that jerk
we went all the way to the hangar and went behind a few boxes where no one saw us
escort scientist: so where are they waiting for us?
Jacob: Here !!
I turned around and gave him such strong fists that I smashed the visor of his oxygen mask, started choking and fainting, he would be dead in 3 minutes and I think he deserves it after what he did, I hid his body in one of the boxes and turned on the bed where the boy slept slept, now I noticed that he has no oxygen mask at all, yet he sleeps and breathes
Jacob: Amazing
I searched a couple of boxes and found a small backpack, I slowly took it and put it in the backpack, I really hope he doesn't wake up now
jacob: great, supplies now
I walked over to the truck I had seen before, crept into the back and saw several boxes of medicine, I wanted to open one box but I heard a voice behind me
??? : hey what are you doing there?
I turned to see a soldier in full armor with a tactical plate carrier and a heavy machine gun
??? : I ask again what are you doing there?
I don't have a single chance to beat him because all he has to do is shout once or fire and I'll be exposed
Jacob : I was just checking to see if everything was in place
??? : Fine, get out
I jumped out of the truck and the same soldier then pushed me away
??? : and now get out of my way
he got into the truck with the driver and drove off, I didn't have a chance to open the box or take anything from it, I just turned angrily and walked to the very manhole into the sewer where Maryl and the other prisoners escaped, I started crawling through these sewers until I came across our groups
Maryl: Jacob where have you been?
Jacob: I had to do a few things
I walked around a few furs and saw the door that they couldn't open, I put my hand on the screen and it turned green after a while
system: access Grantedthe door opened and we fled
Liam PoV
I solved the state of our camp together with a few other people
Aron: From what I've heard, we don't have much medical equipment anymore
Daryl: And we're running out of ammunition, too
Rick: If it goes on like this, we can give up right away
Liam: We still have some supplies
Rick: just a few boxes of food and three boxes of ammunition, if someone attacks us, we can't defend ourselves
Liam: that's why we need help
Maggie: Who are you proposing?
Liam: Maryl was captured trying to form an alliance with the tigers
Glenn: And you think they'll help us?
Liam: They prefer mutual help, they will definitely want something from us too
Maggie: And what do they want?
Liam: I don't know, so I'm going to see them today
Rick: I just hope you know what you're doing
??? : they came back, hurry everyone, they came back
a shout could be heard from outside our tent, our group must have returned, I just hope everyone is fine
Diana PoV
when I woke up I didn't find Jacob, I don't know where he is, but when I find him I'll deal with him, he didn't leave without saying goodbye, I walked through the camp and noticed Liam walking into a tent with a red cross, I followed him and saw him bowing over one of the beds
Diana: Hi Jacob
he turned and looked at me frightened
Jacob: Diana ... I wasn't expecting you here
Diana: Maybe you didn't think I wasn't going to look for you when you ran away from me
Jacob: Diana, I can explain
Diana: You should
I grabbed his vest and pulled him closer
Diana: So what's your excuse
before he could say anything his backpack rolled over and revealed a small child, he had human skin but wolf ears and a tail
??? PoV
when I opened my eyes I thought I would wake up again in that white cold room with those scary people in white coats, instead I appeared in a cloth house with a few beds and I noticed that a big dog was looking at me holding the air of a man who looked like the one who was beating me in that white room when I spoke
??? : Jacob ....
the big dog turned to the man and he spoke
Jacob: Diana ...... I can explain
then she released him, and he fell loudly to the ground
Jacob: Ouch
the big dog then walked over to me and picked me up
Diana: hello little one what's your name?
??? : I don't have a name, nobody gave me one
Diana: And what does your mom and dad call you?
??? : I don't know, I've never met them
Diana: why?
??? : when i asked they punched me
Diana: Who?
then I pointed to the man who was now lying on the ground
Diana: Are you telling me that someone like him hurt you?
I just nodded and she hugged me tightly
Diana: Don't worry, I'll protect you
when I heard this, I hugged her tightly and curled up in her fur
Jacob PoV
I hate it when Diana throws me in like this, I got up slowly and saw him holding the little boy tightly
Jacob: Diana, I'm sorry I didn't say that
Diana: It's okay, I'm not angry anymore
Jacob: I'm glad to hear that
then out of nowhere she began to hum a melody and the child closed his eyes and after a while a small but cute snoring could be heard
Jacob: wow you managed to put him to sleep
Diana: where did you find him?
Jacob: In the labs, they must have performed inhuman experiments on it
I reached out to take him away so I could put him on the medical bed but she just backed away and started leaving with the baby
Jacob: Diana, the boy is definitely scared, he should stay here
Diana: No, all he needs is a mother
Jacob: Don't say you want to keep it
Diana just smiled and left
Jacob: You're kidding me
I just sighed and went to Liam to report only partial success to him because I couldn't get supplies, I went into the tent where he was leaning over the map himself.
Jacob: Hi Liam
Liam turned and hugged me
Liam: Jacob, you don't even know how glad I am to see you
after he let me go, he started asking questions
Liam: So what, did you manage to get supplies?
Jacob: No, unfortunately I didn't stand a chance
Liam: Damn, I don't like to hear it
Jacob: What are we going to do?
Liam: I will go with a few people to the territory of the tigers, I hope that they will listen to us and help us
Jacob: And what if not ?
Liam: I hope that doesn't happen
Liam PoV
I left the tent and went to the storage tent to take some things on the way, on the way I saw all the people standing alert and the natives draw with paints, they started to draw various marks and symbols on them, I wanted to grab a backpack with supplies before she surprised me Cora who also held the paint
Liam: Hi Cora, what do you want to do with that paint ?
Cora: I found her in one of your boxes, so I thought you could beautify a human a little
then she grabbed my hand and sat me on one box and began to draw on my bulletproof vest, she drew various symbols one but the most prominent, it was a symbol of a big wolf's head in the middle of my vest
Liam: Cora, why are you doing this?
Cora: We do the same to warriors before they are in battle, it brings strength and power
I just laughed that the locals believe it, after it ended I grabbed my backpack and was about to leave
Cora: Liam?
I turned around
Liam: yes?
she walked over to me and kissed the visor of my oxygen mask
Cora: Please come back to me okay
I just smiled, said goodbye to the others, and went to tiger territory with a small armed group to ask them for help.
