Shadow turned his head to look at silas, taking a guess at what he was thinking. "In this war, there are no laws, only survival and death. There is no honor, there is no support, there is no heroes welcome after we get back. If we get caught, they will wait one year before they announce to our families we are dead, if the police catch us, we will be executed as criminals. Kill or be Killed, soldier, that is the only rule. I intend to kill." He said in a dead serious voice, one that sent a shiver down the spine of Silas as he spoke.
Kael nodded and looked over at him. "I know it was. I was hoping you'd approve of it." He said, turning to face gruwel. "Do you?" he asked now, looking anxious as he awaited Gruwel's response. "Don't lie to me, I want the honest truth."
Kai paused and nodded, "I don't know where we head.... and yes Aspen, you worried me there. I was afraid you would leave me." He said in reply, the last part softly. He stepped forward to embrace her, nuzzling her head.
Eron's throat tightened as he read the headlines, and he nodded, stepping back farther into his cell, to rest in the shadows. "I will. I already respect his authority as it is. May I have some clothes?" He asked, trying to change the subject and not focus on the imminent threats to his own life.
Shawn sighed and nodded. "yes, thats probably how it will work.... I wonder what's in the the center truck, its a cargo carrier, unlike the other two. I'd guess equipment, but everyone has a full kit on their backs, so what do you think?" he asked, looking at Faye.
Riley nodded enthusiastically, and he smiled as he hit the ball back to blades. "Yeah, that sounds fun!" he said, laughing with joy. It truly was remarkable, how someone so horribly abused could seem so innocent and childish, in a good way, so soon after finally being treated right.
