36 The Russians Gambit: Part 12 (1/2)
'As long as my carrier as a combat surgeon. Never in my life, I have seen someone survives so many gunshots.' Tango commenting on Delta's condition. He was currently under her treatment. She put him in a white room located on a FOB in the capital.
She had contacted Lima this morning. She told Lima Delta's condition.
Lima: ”Oh, I see. Just that?”
Tango: ”Why you have to be so cold?”
Lima: ”People dying in our line of work is usual right?”
Tango: ”Yes, I know. But this is the same person that saves your life from .50 Cal.”
Lima: ”So what? Gotta go, bye.”
Tango: ”I shouldn't tell you this, but Delta's real name is Adrian Patrick Grant.”
She closed her phone and put it on the table near Patrick's bed. She looked at the electrocardiogram machine and saw that his heartbeat has stabilized and he no longer needs help on breathing.
He woke up, ”What are you doing here?” Was his first question. Well, it was expected because he wouldn't suspect Tango would be here.
”Yes, Patrick. I'm always here, helping Alpha, Charlie, and the others, ” Tango said.
”Hmm, our teen red cross weeb is apparently a contractor too huh? What a surprise eh? Aline,” she said to her. Aline Moore was one of the 11-H students. She was a member of the red cross and she was also a member of the culture club aka weeb club.
”Our Dictator's friend is also a contractor huh? Patrick Grant,” She accused him who was laying down like a mummy on his bed. She approached him, ”I guess you won't be too surprised if I'm revealing some things to you.”
”What do you mean? Aline,” Patrick asked as she got out of her room to pick up a small ammo container. She showed it to Patrick. Patrick was shocked, as expected.
”Yup, the Russians shot you many times,” she said as she put her hands inside the ammo container and scoped the fragments with her hand.
He couldn't respond with a word. He only responded with a heartbeat that suddenly increasing.
”You're lucky. Most of the people will die you know? Luckily, this hidden nuclear bunker has a state of the art medic robot that let me clean your body out of fragmentation and fix it all,” Aline said.
Aline walked to a coffee table in front of that bed, she grabbed a large envelope in the coffee table. It was the place where she put the X-ray scene. She showed it to him one by one.
”You see. I discovered more than 2000 fragments in your body. Yes, you should be dead. In addition to bullets, there are also bricks and other things like dislocated bone and other kinds of stuff,” she said as she showed her the X-ray picture one by one.
”2000 bullets? Those Spetznaz aren't playing around aren't they?” Patrick asked.
