So I've taken a liberty here with this story when it comes to syringes that is.

Ajay let out a low hiss as Jason helped him lay down on a bed. The two of them had hotwired a car and drove around, thankfully they managed to find an abandoned home, they decided to lay low for the time being.

"Fuck..." Ajay groaned as he sat up, his back against the wall.

"I'll see if I can find a splint or something for your leg," Jason suggested as he sat on the edge of the bed.

"No, just make a syringe, it's not hard," Ajay muttered as shut his eyes in pain, "You just need the green plants."

"The green plants? What? do you want me to just shove a bunch of grass in a syringe? I'm going to need more than 'the green plants' please." Jason responded rather snarkily towards Ajay.

"You'll know them when you see them." Ajay put it as plain as day. Jason just finally shrugged,

"Fine, fine. I'll be back."

Getting off the bed, Jason let out a soft sigh and looked back at Ajay. Truth be told, he didn't really want to leave Ajay like this, he was rather vulnerable, but they really couldn't just wait for Ajay's leg to heal on its own. So, with some hesitance, Jason turned and walked out of the home, it didn't help that they both lost their radio's so no talking to one another either.

Shutting the door behind him, Jason let out a bitter sniff before letting out a harsh sneeze at the sunlight. Sniffling now, Jason looked around wondering just where these 'green plants' were. So with a bit of a frown on his face, he decided to just go west, it was more wooded and looked like a place where plants would be.

So, with nothing on him but his Kukri which was still attached to his hip, even after the fall, Jason headed out west. Being sure to stay low every time he heard a car pass by, Jason looked around for this... 'green plant'. Stepping over a fallen tree, Jason looked around, wishing he had a map or just something to tell him where he was in Kyrat. He saw a red plant sticking out of the ground, know that wasn't what he needed he needed. So onward he went. He quickly went quiet and ducked down low as a blue truck stopped in the middle of the road.

"DAMN TRUCK! BROKE DOWN AGAIN!"

Jason heard a rebel shout as the rebel gave the truck a good kick to the tire. Narrowing his eyes, Jason stayed crouched down as he cautiously stuck one leg out and silently stepped forward and took out his Kukri. Taking a cautious step forward Jason watched and waited for the man to walk around the truck, thankfully not seeing him, and then stopping a little up the road, his back turned to Jason. Jason could see it, a nice AK-47 the rebel was holding. Making sure nobody else was around, Jason charged at the man. The rebel turned only to receive a Kukri to the neck. Some blood sprayed on Jason's face as he pulled the Kukri out of the man's neck and fell down. He clutched his neck, blood spewed from his wound, between his fingers, and he kicked his legs in an air for a few seconds before finally going limp on the ground.

"Thank you," Jason grabbed the man's AK and strapped it around his shoulders nice and snuggly. Going over to the truck, Jason could see smoke coming out of the hood, knowing a bit from his time in Rook Island, he popped the hood open and moved some smoke out of his face as he looked at the engine. Letting out a bitter 'tsk' from his mouth, Jason huffed out.

"I need a blowtorch." He muttered out loud. Pushing the hood back down, Jason saw a glimmer of silver from the inside of the truck. "Hello..."

Walking around the truck, Jason opened the front door and grinned as he grabbed the blowtorch. Rushing back to the truck's hood he popped it back up and quickly went to work. Within under a minute he got the engine fixed. "Great." He smiled as he slammed the hood back down, he rushed into the truck and did a three-point-turn turning around. Yeah, he wasn't staying hidden anymore, but it was faster for him to find these green plants.

Driving, a tad recklessly, Jason kept a sharp eye out for any green plants that might stand out to him. "I should recognize it... I should..." He kept mumbling to himself, he then stomped on his breaks when he saw it. A large green plant just standing up out in the open. Getting out of the truck, Jason smiled as he looked at the plant, making sure it was in fact solid green. Once he saw it was, he cut the plant and grinned as he stored it away. "I'll have Ajay make his syringe, he'll have to show... me..." Jason was in the middle of turning around when he saw something sharp pointing at him when he managed to fully turn around, he saw a girl standing in front of him, the arrow pointed at his face as she was ready to shoot.

The girl couldn't be older than fourteen, wearing a pink and blue jacket, blue jeans, and flats. She was dark skinned, nothing surprising, her hair black as night and up in a ponytail.

Jason felt his eyes dart down to look at the girl then with only a swift movement of his hand he knocked the bow and arrow out of the girl's hand.

"Ow!" The girl snapped as she rubbed her sore hand.

"What are you doing?" He asked the young girl as he put his hands on his hips and leaned down so they were face to face.

"Working for the Golden path!" She cried out as she tried to throw a punch, Jason caught her fist in his fist. It shocked the poor girl as her eyes went wide. He then in one quick movement he managed to turn her around so her back was to him and her fist was stretched back behind her at a slight angle. Jason may be an asshole at times, but he still knew that he didn't want to cause this tiny child any pain, so he just made sure it was uncomfortable, but not painful.

"Now... are you really working for the Golden path? Or are you just saying that?" Jason asked her.

"I'm not answering a traitor!" The girl screamed out. Jason let out a tsk before shoving the girl away from him.

"Then don't waste my time. I'm on a mission."

Walking back to the truck, Jason had to stop when a rock suddenly hit the back of his head. "Traitor to the Golden path!" The girl screamed loudly at him. Jason turned and only crossed his arms, looking at the girl. "Death to Pagan Min!" She yelled out as she threw another rock, this one missing him, it hit the truck with a dull 'thud' and fell on the ground. "DEATH TO AJAY GHALE!" She shrieked as she went to throw another rock, however; she paused when she saw Jason now storming his way, she tried to run back, but she tripped and fell back to her side. She looked up at Jason with fear in her eyes now. He can see her chest moving up and down in a frantic matter.

"Girl... you're lucky I'm not a soldier, something tells me you'd be dead ten times over by now," Jason simply told the girl as he loomed over her. "Please..." He picked her up by her arms and stood her straight up, "Stop throwing rocks at me, and go home to your parents."

"My parents are dead!" She suddenly kicked him in the shin causing Jason to let go of her as he cried out, and clutched his shin jumping up and down, "Killed by the royal army!" She screamed loudly as she turned and faced him.

"Little brat... " Jason hissed in pain.

"How can you work for Pagan Min, and Ajay Ghale?! Do you know what they've done to this beautiful country?! Do you know how many people have become slaves and soldiers for Pagan?! How many Pagan killed just to kill?!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"I only wanted a paycheck, and to get away from my psychotic mother. I really didn't care about anything else." Jason admitted to the girl as he shook his head. The girl almost went to spit on him, he could see it, nope, Jason drew the fucking line at spitting. In one movement he squished her face between his thumb and other fingers. "Don't even fucking think about it, girly." He growled. "Now, do you want a death wish? or can I just fucking leave?" He asked her with a snap in his voice as he stood more fully.

"Just go! and don't come back around here!" She slapped his hand away from her face and ran away from him, "I mean it! Just go!"

Jason only shook his head and got up slowly. Going back to his truck, he got the driver's side door open when he heard it.

"There you are, Bhadra!"

Turning, Jason ducked down in his truck, keeping his head hidden he watched as a couple of rebels seemed to have the girl in their sights.

"Sabal has been looking for you, what are you doing away from the camp?!" One of the men grabbed her by her arm and started to drag her towards their own truck. Jason noticed that she started fighting with the older rebel. There was something about the way the man looked at her that made Jason's skin crawl.

"I was just- now! Stop it! I-I- Ah! NO WAIT-!" Before she could finish she was shoved into the truck, Jason narrowed his eyes. She didn't sound too thrilled about going back to the Golden path camp...

"Dammit." Jason huffed as he turned the engine over, realizing that this was a kidnapping on the Golden path's part. Truthfully, he didn't want to save the little brat, but... he wasn't that big of an asshole that he'd ignore a kidnapping right in front of him. Stomping on the gas he quickly gained speed and started closing the distance between their two trucks. Going on the outside from the other truck, Jason swerved and hit the truck's bed, this caused the truck to swerve just a little a bit. One of the rebels started to shoot at him out the window, it busted his windshield. "Fucker!" Jason growled wishing he had a hand gun of his own. Speeding forward, he hit the truck with his once more.

This time something else happened. The truck swerved a bit outward. Its bed hit a tree causing the truck to fishtail out of control, the rebel tried to stomp on his breaks, but he didn't do it in time as he hit another tree head on, throwing the driver out of the windshield, and the guy shooting at Jason out of the window. Both were dead. Jason stopped his truck and got out, hoping he didn't accidentally kill the girl he rushed and opened the truck's door. The girl was in the back, between the seats and floor. She was passed out, one arm over her head.

"Alright... This might just be a double kidnapping for you today, if so, sorry." Jason apologized as he picked Bhadra up and threw her over his shoulder. "Ajay is probably going to have some questions..."

"I said a green plant, not a child!" Ajay yelled at Jason as Jason placed the still unconscious Bhadra on the bed next to him. "... Explain! Please!" Ajay demanded as he moved a little for give Bhadra some room.

"I'll explain while you make your syringe," Jason simply put it as he pulled a chair up and handed Ajay the syringe and a plant.

"Wait, I can't do it like this. Here, take the plant and boil some water with the plant in the pot while it's boiling." Ajay explained to Jason slowly.

"Alright..." Jason responded.

Thankfully, the stove was literally ten steps from where Ajay and Bhadra lay. Not seeing a pot, Jason opened all the cabinets. He found a pot up on the top shelf and filled it up with water from the tap. Turn the stove on, he threw the plant in the pot and put the full pot on the stove. Turning the tap off. Jason turned and sat down.

"Alright... explain," Ajay ordered.

So Jason tried to sum up everything within the span of ten minutes as the water boiled, in the end, Ajay just looked at the girl.

"Bhadra... I thought she looked familiar," Ajay sighed out softly as he looked at her.

"You've met her?"

"Once, the first time the Golden path managed to kidnap me. Sabal mentioned that she was to be the Tarun Matara if he were to lead the Golden path," Ajay softly filled in Jason, he quickly looked at Jason and sighed out once he noted Jason's confused look, "A Tarun Matara is basically who Sabal believes to be the goddess that represents the land."

"Oh, that's not that bad-"

"It's basically an excuse for Sabal to fuck little girls."

Jason could only blink in surprise at the reveal. "What?!"

"Yes, my mother was Tarun Matara, and was forced to marry my father at the age of twelve, Bhadra here is no different in that aspect. Seeing how Sabal no longer has competition he probably almost got what he wanted, but something tells me, that if you found Bhadra away from the camp... then it's not what she wanted." Ajay finished

Jason got up and walked over towards the pot, the water now boiling, and an interesting shade of green to boot. Turning it off, Jason grabbed a syringe and filled it up to the top. Capping it off he walked over to Ajay.

"There should be enough for two, go a head and give her the second one, alright?" Ajay asked Jason as Jason stuck Ajay in the arm.

"Gotcha, boss." Jason went over to the pot again, this time with a clean syringe and started to fill that one.

"God..." He heard Ajay breath out, turning, Jason saw the prince standing up, he still had a bit of a limp to his step, he probably needed the other one.

"Ajay-"

"I'm fine, give it to her." He repeated the order this time a bit more sternly.

"Alright, alright," Throwing his hands up, Jason walked over and silently stuck Bhadra in the arm. Within seconds, Bhadra opened her eyes, she seemed confused at first, until she suddenly became angry.

"YOU!" She roared pushing him away from him.

"Easy, we aren't going to hurt you," Ajay spoke softly as he grabbed her arms, she struggled against him for a few seconds, tears springing in her eyes as she tried to get away from him.

"You refuse the Golden path! Of course, you're going to hurt me!" She cried loudly.

"No, I'm not. I refuse the Golden path for reasons of my own, but I don't harm children. I will never harm children," Ajay softly told her.

"Pagan Min does! Pagan Min killed my parents!"

"I'm sorry about your parents, Bhadra. I truly am, but you have to know that you are on the wrong side in this war. The Golden path wants to use you! You have to know this. Bhadra, you have to know..."

"Of course I know! But I want a Kyrat that's free of Pagan Min's tyranny!" Bhadra jerked her arms out of Ajay's grip. She turned and wrapped her arms around herself as she seemed to tear up.

"Bhadra... do you really want to be the Tarun Matara?" Ajay breathed out as he asked her softly.

"... I..." Bhadra sniffled softly, Ajay gently patted her back as she started to wipe her teary eyes. "I just want a free Kyrat..." She confessed to Ajay. Jason watched the two from the doorway as he leaned against the door frame.

"Bhadra... my father is no saint, I will be the first one to tell you this, but the Golden path... they'll destroy this land."

"How can you say that? The golden path- no- Sabal, he wants nothing more than to destroy Pagan and bring glory to Kyrat!"

"Bhadra, I think we both know what Sabal truly wants..."

They stood there for a few seconds as Bhadra sniffled again and suddenly started to cry a bit harder as she sobbed out.

"Bhadra, I want to help you, you don't deserve the life Sabal is trying to force upon you, you know this, and so do I."

"Uh... speaking of Sabal..." Jason spoke up causing both of them to turn and look at him. Jason shut the door and ordered both Ajay and Bhadra to get down on the floor. All three of them huddled beside the bed, they all seemed to hold their breath as they all heard the sounds of trucks stopping.

"- I'm sure they went this way. Mr. Sabal."

Jason narrowed his eyes at that voice, it was kinda... southern? and familiar.

"Really? It wasn't the stolen truck and car in the front that gave it away?" Sabal responded rather sarcastically to the other man. "Search around the front, I'll search around the back."

Jason looked at the two of them, before peeking up through the dirty window, he couldn't see the man's face, but he could see a big belly.

"I'll be right back." He told Ajay as he grabbed his AK and silently made his way towards the front door. He knew he wasn't going to need his gun though. Watching, and waiting, Jason narrowed his eyes and swung the door open. Grabbing the other man, he threw him inside.

"Are you crazy?!" Ajay whispered loudly as Jason just shut the door once again and put his gun away.

"Hiya, Hurk."

"Huh?... Jason! Buddy!" Hurk got off of the ground and wrapped Jason in a tight bear hug, and practically crushed Jason's bones as he hugged Jason even tighter. Jason let out a soft gag as Hurk's stench hit his nose. "I had no clue they were talking about you when they said the prince got a new bodyguard named Jason!" Hurk smiled as he then turned and took notice of Ajay guarding Bhadra.

"So... uh... this is awkward..." Ajay responded. Hurk put Jason down and looked between the two.

"Hurk, this Ajay Ghale, the Prince of Kyrat, and that's Bhadra, a girl who really shouldn't be here right now."

Hurk scratched his head a tad confused, "Now you see, Jason. I was given orders to shoot the prince-"

"He's my friend, Hurk. You're working for the wrong side..." Jason spoke softly to Hurk as he lightly tapped his friend's shoulder.

"Hurk? Where did that idiot go?!" Everyone heard Sabal scream outside.

"Aw, Jason, I can't say no to working with you!" Hurk hugged Jason once again as he squeezed the smaller man once again. "I'll distract Sabal, you guys get to a car," Hurk told them as he put Jason down. "Oh! Oh!" Hurk then shoved something into Jason's hand. It was a radio. "To stay in contact with me when you guys get away." Hurk then gave Ajay and Bhadra a nod before disappearing through the door.

"Keep low," Jason ordered the two of them. Seeing how he was the only one with a gun on him he went first slowly shying through the door.

"- were they in there or not?!" Sabal demanded his back turned to them.

"No..." Hurk replied with an oblivious shrug. Jason only smiled and shook his head in response to Hurk. Playing the idiot as normal. He could hear Ajay hissing in pain, Jason really needed to get him another syringe.

Bhadra seemed like she was torn on what she wanted to do, but, she never spoke up as the three of them managed to slip out of the door. Keeping low Jason hurried up towards the truck just parked on the road.

"I better check myself, just in case you missed any trap doors." Sabal almost turned, but Hurk suddenly grabbed the man and held him in place.

"I'm telling you, I didn't see them!" Hurk responded angrily.

"What?! Let go of me!"

"Go. go..." Jason whispered to Ajay and Bhadra quickly as they managed to get around the corner and out of sight.

"Oh.. sorry, I didn't mean to cross a line, but if you want to look, go a head." Jason heard Hurk say once the coast was clear.

"I do hope not all American's are like you, my friend," Sabal responded to Hurk.

Jason, Ajay, and Bhadra ran to the truck. Ajay got in the driver's seat, Bhadra in the middle, and Jason was squished against the passenger side door. Ajay peeled out of there at a fast rate, no doubt gaining Sabal's attention, but by the time he left the home it was too late.

"We need a safe place to rest... and to stock up on weapons." Ajay finally spoke as he paid attention to the road in front of him.

"Well... there is your father's home, that could be a great safe house," Bhadra responded to Ajay.

"... Mohan's home?" Ajay asked. Bhadra nodded,

"Yes, but it belongs to Noore now."

"Noore works for my father, so that's not a problem for me... but no, we need to stock up, like I said. We have to make a little stop before we go there."

"And that is?" Jason asked him.

"De Pleur fortress. In other words, we're taking a stop at the city of pain."
