43 Unpleasant surprise 1 (2/2)
He turned around to see if those on his back had also disappeared and he observed that there was also not a trace of them.
The transformation had maybe healed his body, but feeling like you no longer recognized it was a very unpleasant sensation.
He sighed and thought about making the clothes in his inventory appear, they materialized in his hands and he set them aside.
'I'm not Irish, but well...' He took a deep breath, pulled Lana's medallion out of his pocket and put it around his neck against his military plates.

After 5 minutes, Lazar came out of the bathroom with his new clothes on. When he arrived near Amandla, he saw her open and close the front door successively, probably to test its solidity.
”I'm not half naked anymore, you can turn around.” He said.
She did as she was told and looked him up and down with a satisfied expression, ”You have good tastes.” Then her face closed, ”However, your transformation is going to be hard to explain.”
”Explain to whom? The Major?” He said, raising an eyebrow, ”Fuck him, I won't bother to explain.”
”It's up to you.” She responded with a mischievous smile.
”Looks like you're finished.” Everything Amandla had taken to repair the door was stored in the box at her feet.
”Yes, but as you can imagine it, it's way more fragile than before.”
”That's okay, thank you for that.” Said Lazar in a calm tone on his way up the stairs.
”What are you going to do?” If he went upstairs, it was certainly not to go to sleep knowing a little the guy.
”I'm going to practice.”
'Practice?' Wouldn't it have been better to go outside for that?
Amandla, from her side, returned to the garden, 'I'd better follow his example...'

Lazar sat cross-legged on his bed and closed his eyes to be more focused, 'First step, make the energy circulate in my body.'

9:30 pm
...
There was only a faint crescent moon to enlighten the night.
Sullyvan couldn't help but scrutinize every nook and cranny around him for fear of being took by surprise and tear to pieces by one of the creatures that had massacred his men in the afternoon.
Yet he knew that this was the last place it could happen since he was walking towards Lazar's house.
He was about to ring the bell but the front door opened wide before he did.
All the lights were off in the house, but Sullyvan could see that the person in front of him was neither Lazar nor Amandla.
”You are... Who are... Did we...” Stammered Sullyvan, not knowing what to do with this information.
The person seemed to ignore him and turned behind her, ”He's here!”
Sullyvan came to his senses since he had just recognized Lazar's voice, ”What the hell happened to you?” He asked incredulous.
”Don't you know what his a growth spurt?”
'A growth spurt! He is kidding me?!'
Amandla soon arrived, ”What are you waiting for. Let's go.”
She passed between Lazar and Sullyvan and went directly to the back of the truck that was parked in front of the house with the engine still running and the driver waiting for them.
Sullyvan followed her example and Lazar did the same after closing his door.
