Sergei - Don't forget the chickens! Don't forget the god damn chickens!
Once again. The camp was busy to pack up things and move on. This time around, everyone was here. Even Boris was packing.
On the parking lot. Petr was holding his breath over a screen.
Nikolai - So... How is our little killing maschine?
Petr - Not good. Diagnostic programm shows that she is fine. But she is not rebooting! And i can't get any idea of why! She is fine... I am missing something!
Nikolai - Well... Just let here rest then. We gotta go!
Petr - Yeah! Sorry Nita!
Petr Turned off all screens and started folding them.
Danila - Petr! Nikolai! Everything is ready?
Petr - Yeah... Just making sure Nita wont get any more damage to the frame while we will be on the road. She is not waking up, and i don't know why! Gods... Only Maria knew how to handle her!
Danila - That means we will have one less gun in our hands! I fixed SUV. Engine is working just fine! Used the parts from stolen Varyag's car. Give it a try!
Nikolai - Don't wory, I will give it a ride latter. Right now we have other things to do! Oh, Danila, almost forgot! Mikhail was asking for you!
Danila - Me? Why?
Nikolai - Hell if i know!
Danila - *Sigh* Ok... Petr, get things ready here!
Petr - Sure thing!
Danila went inside the mall. While everyone was paking their things or getting inside the truck. Little girl pushed her way across the camp, right to the SUV. Girl had an light respirator, that didn't really covered her face, but was enough to breath in the "fresh air" without any worry in the world. And she gasped in fear and surprize once she saw Nikolai closing the bunk of SUV, with Nita still in the Bunk.
Nikolai turned to face the girl and crouched to look at her at the same height
Nikolai - What happened? Big bad guy is stealing your friend? What are you gonna do?
Out of embarrassment and uneasynes, girl slowly waked backwards.
Petr - What did you do to scare her like that?
Nikolai - Nothing, just saved her life with a bang... That's all!
Nikolai said with a smirk. The girl didn't tell anything to anyone. In fact, she didn speak at all. Barely making any sounds. Not that nobody tried to talk with her. Kikima defenetly did, but the girl stayed silent. Nobody even knew her name.
And so, Nikolai opened backseat door of SUV and glared at the girl.
Nikolai - Get in!
Slowly, girl followed the order. With a little steps, getting inside SUV.
Petr - Did you grown attached to her or what?
Nikolai - No, just want her to stay close. She probobly would fell uncomfortable inside the truck filled with dozen of unfamiliar faces!
Petr - Look at that, Nikolai slowly becoming a babysitter!
Nikolai - Shut up!
Both Nikolai and Petr then got inside the SUV. Nikolai took a driver seat.
==== Just a few kilometers to the south ====
Few Varyag's cars formed a circle. Few tents were placed. But ultimatly... everyone were ready to get up an leave, they were just waiting an order. Few man were sitting in front of the radio.
Unknown V - Just what is going on there? Why is the captain waiting?
Unknown B - We lost thirteen people there... and four cars. Why are we even going after them?
Unknown A - Word is going, that boss got paid big money. And we will have even more, once the job is done. That is how we got a heavy weaponry.
Unknown B - Do we actualy need to go this far? What kind of a job even is this?
Unknown V - Asking too many question. Captain already said everything we need to know.
Unknown A - Not really. I would like to know how much we will get, once the job is done!
Unknown V - Yeah... Don't know who is paying, but knowing the captain... We will be rich. It's just a matter of getting to the payday! So just get the job done and we are out.
Unknown B - I am just hoping not out of the frame. Some people tend to not pay after job is done.
Unknown A - If that would be the matter. Boss know how and what to do.
All three man looked at eachother with a concern and skepticism. But then radio made a sound
Radio - Everyone! Get moving, they are almost ready to leave through the west road. Remember the plan! Fist group, get ready! They will reaching ambush spot in twenty two minutes!
Radio - First group is ready to rock them!
Radio - Second group! Five minutes and move out!
Unknown A - Got it boss. Moving out in five minutes!
Unknown V - Everyone! Five minutes and we are moving out to attack!
The crowd cheered and everyone grabed their weapon, ammo, grenades and then got inside the cars. The band was out for the blood
=== The camp ==
Boris - That's it! Go on, Move Move Move!
Boris closed the truck with people inside and waved to the driver to move out. With a heavy roar, engine of the truck shaked the ground, and the wheels started turning, finaly leaving the mall behind them.
Danila - Need a ride?
Danila were siting in the car, near Boris, and opened backseat door. Behind Danila, on the driver seat were Kikima. Not an usual place for her.
Boris - Yeah, yeah very funny! Come one, we are the last one to leave!
Danila - Don't worry! We won't be the last in the column once we out of the city.
Boris - Not that i ever worried about that. I am more woried that our main gun is offline!
Danila - Nita? Don't worry! We will fix her once we will find a good spot to set up a camp. I am more than sure that Petr can do something about her. He can manage it!
Boris - You are putting to much faith on that boy, he nearly short circuited Kikima when we found her! Thank the gods we had Maria back then, or Kikima wouldn't have been here, along with some old and injured folk around here.
Kikima - So far, nobody recived any fatal wound or injuries, that i coul'd heal. Most heavy injury was broken arm of ms Tanya, but with a proper procedures, she would'v been fine non the less.
Danila - Proper procedures is main topic here! I doub't anyone knows what thoes procedures are!
Boris - Just so you know i...
But Boris speech was cut short, as an explosion sent the car, in front of column, to fly in the sky!
