Hey guys. Sorry for the late update, but here it is! Sorry to keep you waiting! Enjoy~!
He hung up and sighed, running his fingers through his hair.
"How does she know to look for a tower?" I asked.
"Oh, uh… That's kinda what the manual is."
"So she tells you where to go?"
"Kinda. Like I said, it's complicated."
"Oh… So where do we go now?"
"Well… she said to follow a trail near a tower… And there's the tower, so come on, this way."
"Wait! Don't you want to see if there's anything useful around here?"
"I guess it couldn't hurt."
And it didn't. It helped a lot. We found ammo, herbs, and loads of money. And in the upstairs of the house we were in, there was a fully loaded shotgun.
After we were done looting, we began walking up the path beside the house, and entered one last shed.
"Hmm… That's weird." Leon said, as he ripped a piece of paper off the wall.
"What is?" I asked.
"There's a note here… I can't read it though, it's in Spanish."
"Here, let me see." Leon handed me the note and I began translating it.
"Recently there has been information that a United States government agent is here... uh… investigating the village with a female American citizen. We do not know if she is an agent or not, but we advise you not to take any chances." I gulped and looked at Leon, who motioned for me to continue.
"Do not let either of the Americans get in contact with the… prisoner.
"For those of you not yet informed, the prisoner is being held in an old house beyond the farm. We will transfer the prisoner to a more secure location in the valley when we are ready. The prisoner is to stay there until further notice. Meanwhile, do not let either of the Americans near the prisoner.
"We do not know how the American government found out about our village, but we are still investigating.
"However, I feel that this um… intrusion?... at this particular time is not just a coincidence.
"I sense a third party, other than the United States government involved here.
"My fellow men… stay alert…" I trailed off on the last two words, handed the paper back to Leon, and waited for him to say something.
"How could they already know we're here, and post a warning about us?"
"I don't know… but I wonder if this 'prisoner' is Ashley… Come on."
I followed him out of the shed, up the path, and through some more doors leading to a farm. There was another house, and a barn full of cows.
In a rotted, wooden shack by the entrance there was another typewriter. Beside the shack was something shiny hanging above a well full of dirty water.
"Here, Leon, give me a boost."
Once he locked his fingers together, I stepped in his hand, and he pushed me up. I quickly grabbed the object and stepped down, trying not to fall in the water.
The shiny thing was a pearl pendant and it looked like it was worth a lot, so I pocketed it.
In the little chicken coop thing, hanging in a tree, there was a blue paper. On the paper there was Spanish writing (much sloppier than the writing on the other paper), which Leon asked me to translate.
"Fifteen blue medallions… Seven in the farm… Eight in the cemetery…
"For those of you who shoot ten or more will be awarded."
"Awarded how?" I looked at Leon.
"No idea."
"Well here, there's a little medallion right here."
Leon aimed his gun up at the medallion and was about to shoot, but I looked at him with pleading eyes and he sighed, handing me the gun.
After I shot the gun with pure joy, Leon said "You know, that's not gonna work every time."
"Then you should get me my own gun."
He scoffed and I looked at him with a straight face. "Y-you're serious?"
"Why not? It would make everything so much easier."
"You're not even legally allowed to own a gun!"
"We're not in the U.S. right now, though, are we?"
He didn't say anything, just took the paper and began walking around the farm.
We ran into a few villagers (or were they farmers?) and Leon killed them. We also found all seven medallions that were in the farm, and he let me shoot all of them. "Consider it target practice" he said. There were two or three that were really high up, and it took a few shots, but I got them.
After we walked through a door, exiting the farm, we stood at the top of a hill. Walking down it, I saw another creepy signpost, and inched closer to Leon. I didn't want that thing anywhere near me.
We took a few more steps and felt shaking. I turned around quickly and saw a giant boulder rolling straight towards us.
