58 Old Friend (1/2)

Lizeth slapped a chest seal on Clara's chest, two bandages on her arms, three bandages on her thigh, and another one on her head. It stopped the blood loss, but it didn't make the condition better. She still needed a blood transfusion. She waited for the medevac.

Hotel: ”Are you Lynx?”

Lynx: ”Yes.”

Hotel: ”I'm on position, but I need a confirmation for the location. Could you ignite a flare or something?”

Lynx: ”Ok.”

Lizeth grabbed a stick of flare from her magazine rig and lighted it up so the helicopter could see it. The helicopter landed on the top floor of that parking garage. The passenger was Hotel, Echo, Tango, Charlie, Foxtrot, and Lima. All of them got out of the helicopter spontaneously and aimed their rifle in the surrounding area.

Echo: ”Landing area secured.”

Tango and Hotel brought out a stretcher from the helicopter and carried almost naked Clara to the helicopter. Her face was exposed, but the whole team agreed not to remember her face or asking her real name. Clara's identity was safe for now. They were running a quick blood test on her to identify her blood type. After that, Tango commenced an emergency blood transfusion on her.

Lima approached Lizeth. Why? Lizeth had no idea, ”Are you ok? I've never seen you before. Who are you?” Lizeth's heart went racing, but she must keep it to herself for now due to the situation.

”I'm Lynx. Another contractor. With whom am I speaking to?” Lizeth asked Lynn.

”I'm Lima. Nice to meet you Lynx. So... are you working in the capital?” Lima asked her.

”Yeah, sort of,” Lizeth answered.

”I see. Truth to be told, I will relocate here soon. I hope you can help me,” Lima said to her.

”No problem,” Lizeth replied.

Lizeth opened her first aid kit and opened a package of adhesive plaster for her small wounds. She rolled her sleeve and applied that plaster to the wounds. It was easier than rolling an entire bandage at her wounds because it was very damaging. She saw Lynn, that was the unexpected surprise for that day.

Tango approached them, ”I need one week at the very least. Three days for the wound healing and four days for training her the basics. Don't worry, I will do you the favor, but I will appreciate it more if Lima is willing to do it,” she referred to Clara.

”I see. So I need to train a new member again. It was a shame that my last trainee died on the hand of the Russians,” Lima was referring to Delta. Hmm, she had no idea that the person that she referred to was standing next to her. Flat, but her tone was sadder than before due to her sigh.

”Hey, don't be like that. You will find another one,” Tango tried to cheer her up.

”I see, but how much will it pay me?” Lima asked Lizeth.

”10000$. Is it enough?” Lizeth offered her.

”Ok, I see. The last trainees didn't pay me though. Still, if that wounded girl could show me the way around the town, it will be useful,” Lima said.

”I see, want a quick tour around the town?” Lizeth offered Lima.

”Sure, but whose car will be used?” Lima asked her.

”Mmm, mine?” Lizeth offered.

”Ok, let's go,” Lima said.
