Chapter 7


Annie looked over the map Eyal had some how gotten hold of. It wouldn't be to difficult, not easy, but doable.

Annie and Eyal would go in at night. Just as the new rotation of guards met up with the others to begin their shift. That would be when they take their chance to get into the camp. They would plant some explosives in the warehouse where the weapons were being housed. After that they would make their way to where the hostages were.

As soon as they were ready, they would detonate the explosives, causing the guards to scramble and leave the hostages unattended. Whilst Annie goes in to get the hostages, Eyal would be keeping a look out to make sure they are not seen.

Just as Annie lead the hostages outside, a guard came around the corner of the building. Eyal quietly but quickly got rid of him by breaking his neck and laying the body down behind some crates. Eyal lead the group out of the camp, running in the opposite direction of the warehouse that had blown up. Eyal was busy helping one of the hostages up a slope when it happened.

Annie, who was bringing up the rear, was shot. She fell down without making a noise but her face was scrunched up from pain. Eyal pushed the hostage to the ground and took out the two rebels who had followed them before they could alert others. Running over to Annie, he took off his shirt and tied it around her leg to stop the bleeding.

"AHHH!" Annie cried out in pain. Eyal scooped her up and hurriedly lead the group to where the local army would pick up the hostages.

"Come on Annie, stay with me!" Eyal spoke urgently as he noticed Annie losing consciousness. Annie's blood, running from the wound in her thigh, was soaking Eyal's body and his pants, she looked up at him with her half open eyes, "I'm still here Eyal…"

When Annie opened her eyes again, she looked up at a light grey roof. A constant beep could be heard to her right. When she tried moving, Eyal's face suddenly appeared over her. "Annie, how are you feeling?"

Annie frowned as she remembered what happened. "Eyal, what happened after I passed out?"

Eyal smiled sadly at her and ran his hand through her hair, "You lost a lot of blood by the time I finally got you to a hospital. But they were able to stitch up your wound. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough blood for a full transfusion so after pulling some strings, we were able to get you the blood."

Annie looked at Eyal with a small smile, "I'm sorry for causing so much trouble…" Eyal laughed quietly, "You sure know how to keep things interesting!" Eyal sat down on the bed next to Annie.

"If you pass the check-up, I should be able to get you out of here within an hour," Eyal said. Annie frowned again, "Eyal I don't want to be called back home because of this…" Eyal winked at her.

"I figured as much and so did Joan," Eyal said. Annie's eyes widened, "What did Joan say?" Eyal held her hand. "She said that if you didn't heal fast enough, she would unfortunately have to send in Jai?"

Annie laughed, "I'll survive. Plus I wouldn't want you to have to kill Jai with him running around!" Eyal raised an eyebrow, "He can't be that bad?" When Annie laughed again, Eyal joined in and got up.

"Right then, let's see about getting you out of here!"

Annie was surprised to find out she had been unconscious for almost two full days. When Eyal helped her onto one of the beds in their cabin, she looked up at him, swallowing her pride.

"Eyal, I…" She was a bit embarrassed, "Eyal could you please help me get cleaned up a bit?"
