AN: A new update, again! Thanks for the reviews ":)8

The Seals had no choice. Silently insulting, they followed Eagle.

The rest of K-unit stared at each other. Than Alex jumped up. Dashing in the same direction as Eagle and the Seals, he shouted back: 'I don't want to miss a second of this!'

Smiles broke down on the faces of Wolf, Fox and Snake. With a shrug of Wolf, they started jogging towards Eagle.

'O, the poor Seals!'

They all laughed, and disappeared in the dark, leaving the tent and the cards alone.

Alex ran, catching up with Eagle within a minute. When he rushed past the Seals, he heard silent swearing, some of it directed towards him. He smiled a little. It took more than insults to make him angry.

The lone silhouette of Eagle walked quickly through the forest. He turned his head when he heard snapping of some branches.

'Cub! Hi!'

He stood still for a second, staring at the teenage boy. A big smile marked his face, while he said: 'Eagle, are you really going to take them to the tents?'

'Yes.'

Alex grinned. Eagle grinned.

'I think it is more than fair that you lead, because you are the one that made this all possible!' Alex said, with the air of a mayor who just decided to do a great project, and give it all away in one man's hands.

'Yes, ummm… I'm very honored!' Eagle said jokingly.

They heard some more branches snap. The Seals where just out of hearing reach, so Alex knew the only possible option was K-unit.

Smiling, Eagle and Alex said hello to their friends.

They kept on walking for some time, half an hour, and they began to feel a bit tired. But they were still less tired than the Seals, and they had warm clothes.

'SAS! WHERE… DID… YOU…PLACE… THAT…TENT!'

All the blanks were filled with the soft swearing words of the others.

'WE… DID… PLACE…IT… SOMEWHERE …CLOSE!' Wolf called back, as almost an exact imitation.

K-unit laughed, and some swearing from the Seals was clearly audible.

Fox, who hadn't said much, but only looked amused, said: 'Look! It is nearby. I remember the tree!'

'The tree?' Snake said with raised eyebrows. 'The tree? Fox, we are in a forest. I don't know if you noticed, but a forest is full of trees… And we are in a dark forest now, so one tree or another, I don't think it makes that much of a difference.'

They heard a dry puff, like something had fallen.

'That will be a branch', Snake said. 'Yes, Fox, before you ask, there are also branches in a forest.'

Fox ignored the sarcasm and said: 'but I'm sure. Look, the pattern in the leaves is the same, the bark… Just everything! The tent is nearby. Wolf, you know what I me… Wolf?'

Fox counted heads. Cub, Snake, Eagle and himself. But the Hispanic was nowhere to be seen. He just wanted to alert the rest of the unit, when he tripped over some sort of wire, and fell. Right on Wolf.

'Auw…'

The sound of laughter shook the whole forest. Alex, Snake and Eagle just cracked up.

'WHAT'S SO FUNNY?'

'Seals… Not only a small amount of humor.' Eagle laughed.

'For this one time, I think I agree with the Seals.' Wolf grumbled while he stood up.

Fox agreed: 'Yes, that's for sure. He brushed some of the mud off his jacket.

'The ground is wetter… We are getting closer and closer to the tent!' Alex said. He smiled broadly, happy in advance. Wolf raised an eyebrow and started walking again.

Snake, however, stood still. 'Who spanned the wire?' he asked. 'We didn't, did we?'

Eagle turned around and said impatient: 'Oh that would be me. An extra surprise for the Seals. Come on! We can't let the Seals be freezing for much longer!'

'So, you do actually care about the Seals?' Alex asked him.

'In the very depths of my heart. I'll always pity fellow soldiers in harsh situations', he laughed. 'That is part of the code!'

'Which code?'

'My code!'

'Sure', grinned Alex. 'Let's not violent your code!'

They walked forward, faster than before, leaving the Seals behind.

'Look!' Wolf said. 'The lake! I can see the reflection. We are coming closer!'

Grinning, the rest of K-unit started to run, towards the lake.

AN: Sorry guys, from tomorrow on I'm off to school again. It will take some time for the next update to arrive. No worry, I'm not giving up on this! Never! I'm sort of addicted to writing and all your reviews, but school is more important now :(
