Along the way to Konduz, Wolf continued to run over sand dunes, and I repeatedly yelled at him for doing so. I don't think it helped with the situation, though, as he glared at me very intensely. His glares couldn't match mine, but they were close.
If looks could kill, I thought.
He ran over yet another sand dune. I slowly turned my head and in my peripheral vision, I saw the rest of the unit watching me like a Soap-Opera. Even Cub was watching, though his eyes weren't the size of a clock and he wasn't leaning forward with anticipation.
"Wolf," I said in a deadly calm voice, "If you could stop running over sand dunes, I wouldn't have to continue with morbid thoughts of your untimely demise."
He ignored the road and turned his head to look at me. "If you could stop talking I wouldn't have to run over sand dunes."
My eyes narrowed. "Stop running over sand dunes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No"
"Yes!"
"No."
"Ugh!"
He smiled smugly and I punched his shoulder, making him momentarily loose control of the Humvee and thus making Eagle to scream like a very frightened little girl, to which I laughed at.
"Wuss." I muttered under my breath and Cub snorted.
Eagle crossed his arms over his chest, huffed and mumbled something incoherent.
I snorted as well when I heard Eagle talking to someone called Floppy.
"For my sake and yours, I really hope Floppy is just an imaginary friend." I told him. That stopped his incoherent mumbling.
I noticed the sign to Konduz before the rest and I had to point it out to Wolf, who was going the opposite direction.
"It's that way!" I yelled excitedly and Wolf changed directions.
"What's the game plan?" Snake asked.
"Uh,...we go in and get the stuff we need?" I said.
Everyone gave me a look, then they started discussing plans of entry and what not. I listened but didn't contribute, not wanting to earn myself another couple looks.
"We enter from the front entrance and scare them, then shoot our way to our destination."
At this, I had to comment; for my life's sake.
"That is a very dumb idea." I told them, more specifically, Eagle, who suggested the idea in the first place.
"Have any ideas?" Eagle asked, aggravated at me.
"Wait a sec and I'll get one." I told them, then turned back to stare out the window. They watched me for a couple minutes while I thought, then got bored and looked out their respective windows.
"I got it!" I shouted.
"What?" everyone asked in unison.
"We enter through the ceiling above the destination from ropes, grab what we need and exit through the ceiling all before they know we're there."
Cub nodded, "A James Bond move. Not bad."
Fox snorted, finding something amusing. What it is, I don't know, since that idea was pure genius.
"I know," I said smugly.
"One problem," he said.
I glared, "And what would that be?"
"We need to make sure no one is in the room and that no guards will be doing their rounds near there."
I sighed, knowing he was right, but not liking where this conversation was going.
"We need to do surveillance." Fox finished.
"Yup," Cub replied and we entered Konduz.
The roads were bumpy but we were able to find flat next to the Enforcers hideout. Apparently Wolf knew more about this mission that what he let on, since he knew where the hideout was.
I layed down on the cot in the middle of the room, in between everyone else's and closed my eyes. Focusing on Cub's steady breathing beside me, I drifted to sleep.
Sorry this was so short. I honestly don't know why this chapter was so hard to write, but the plot bunnies abandoned me half way through. I think I'll blame them. =) Anyways, I hoped you liked and reviews are wonderful impromptu plot bunnies; you don't know how much your ideas and comments help, so review!
Also, me loved the ending! Didn't you?
