Chapter 5

I ran up to it and banged on it with my fists and hit it with the butt of my gun but nothing budged.

"Why didn't you just leave me you idiot." Angela said as she woke up.

"Do you honestly think I would if I could?" I told her.

"No, you're too hard headed." She said sadly.

"Angela... I'm sorry for getting you stuck in this." I told her sadly as I turned to her and embraced her.

"Oh shut it shithead, you saved my life as a kit, I owe you my life." She said jokingly with a weak chuckle.

"We are probably screwed." I told her sadly.

"Yeah, we most likely are, I'm happy that I got to spend it with you." She said with a smile.

"Me too... Also, about what happened earlier when they were coming." I said quietly.

"Oh that... It was just in the heat of the moment, don't dwell on it too much, it meant nothing." She said nervously, rubbing her head.

I pretended to act upset by crossing my arms and looking away.

"What? Did I say something?" She asked walking over to me.

I kept silent.

"Rick." She said, trying to get my attention.

I gave her more time to think about why I was acting like this.

"Is it that... I hurt your feelings for saying that?" She asked shyly, twiddling her claws and blushing.

"Yeah, you kinda did." I told her.

"Why? Did... Did you want that to mean more?" She asked.

I nodded and kept looking away.

"So... from what I'm guessing, you like me that way?" She asked me.

I turned to her and embraced her in a big hug.

"Stubborn fox. You always take so much time to realize things." I whispered in her ear.

"You could at least take me on a date." She said with a giggle.

"Fine then, after we get back home, I'll take you on one." I told her.

"Okay but first we've got to get out of here." She said, looking at each of the walls.

"I don't want to use any moves because I could hurt you from the blast." She told me sadly.

"We will just have to strong arm our way out then." I told her, cracking my knuckles and grabbing the gun that I had taken from the barracks.

I checked the gun to find that it was empty.

"Shit, either I grabbed an empty or they set up a dud for me." I thought quickly.
