AN: DADADUH! Here it is the long awaited chapter 5! I'm so happy they made an iPod update on fanfiction it's where I could post most of my stories now! I'm so sorry it took about A YEAR to update and if you want to scream at me cause it took do long GO AHEAD I CAN TAKE IT! lol anyway here it is the long awaited chapter! :)
I closed my eyes when Marcus hugged me
"h-how long do I have to stay here?", I asked. I wanted to actually help not sit on the sidelines due to a bullet wound. It just seemed stupid.
"Don't worry the nurse said you should take a quick recovery. In about a half hour you should be getting your ass ordered around by Hoffman", Marcus said.
So we all had a nice talk for a half hour until the nurse came in and ordered everyone to get out. Everyone except Marcus went back to their posts because Marcus had to guard my hospital room. You see, the locust invade the base from time to time, and to make sure they don't unexpectedly attack the unarmed, wounded, we have an armed soldier at the door guarding it. If they die the wounded soldier is screwed. The nurse just came in to run a couple of tests on my wound and see if it was fine or still bad.
"Bend your knee slowly Nicole. If you can't keep balance then hold on to the side of the hospital bed", the nurse said. I bent my knee and felt no pain so I straightened it and still felt no pain. Good start for me on this test of pain. We did a couple more tests and I passed all of them. I was free to go. As me and Marcus walked back toward our stations we talked.
"Nicole I want to know something. Out of all those Gears in Jacinto jail why me?" he asked "Why didn't you just leave me to die like everyone else?" he screamed at me this time "If you guys really were my friends you would leave me to rot and die in that jail instead of bust me out!" He didn't have hope about this like me and Dom the things he was saying made my stomach turn.
"Marcus, we still have hope me and Dom. We busted you out cause as your friends we couldn't just leave you to die and rot. We did all we could because we're your friends. I still have hope we could make it out alive!" I said
"You could have done the same with Carlos! You could have saved him from blowing his ass up on a fucking bridge!" he screamed at me
"It wasn't my choice it was his Marcus! As much as I tried to convince him I couldn't! He had a fucking grenade in his hand and he said he was so fucked up we couldn't even help him! He was bleeding like a pig losing blood quickly. He would have died anyway either way. I loved him Marcus I regreted that day but I've moved on and found someone new", I said
"I think I know who he is", Marcus said getting closer to me until the alarm went off screaming 'alert, alert locust invasion' over and over again. Well that ended our moment.
"Let's go", he said moving me along toward the invasion. We were running across a field of hate dodging the bullets and shooting some ourselves. When we found cover we showed no mercy and tore each locust up gut by gut body by body until the base rained blood and smelt like a meat house.
"Delta to Control Delta to Control", I said
"Delta this is Control I read you loud and clear", Anya responded
"Anya warn other bases nearby base 50224 of locust invasions, no wait scratch that warn all the bases of locust attacks. We just had one. Anyway you could contact Command so I could ask for further instruction?" I asked
"I can get Command online could you give me a sec?" Anya asked
"Take all the time you need Anya, I could do this all day", I exclaimed. It took a minute for Anya to contact Command. He didn't sound that happy when I started talking to him which made this situation worse than what it was already.
"Command base 50224 just-", I said before being interrupted
"I heard Delta you need further instruction after being attacked by the locust.
