Chapter 59 - Training and... showering partner?! (1/2)
”We found more guns! This too!” I pointed to the guns in the bags and I knocked on my helmet.
”Sweet! Can I have one?” Allan said.
”No, every gun that I hand over is still mine, I lent you the HK416, why would you want this?” I said.
”Well, this gun really looks sick, nevermind.” he replied as he goes back to his station.
I handed the riot shield to Oscar and when I said the intended use for it is for him to block flying knees, he lost it. We just started to laugh off the incident earlier and we helped them unload the stuff from the truck though they will be coming a second time for a few more houses in the back. Rin was busy tallying everything but she seems more relaxed now and I could see that she's more... happy? I can't put it into words but something is different. Then I saw Tatiana next to her then I realized what's going on.
”Well, as long as they're happy I'll support whatever they do.” I said to myself.
”Damn kid. Are you sure you're not a hound or something? Where did you smell that from?” Oscar said as he saw the weapons at the bag.
”Hah! I found this on Gilbert's house, sweet huh?. Technically Kaley led me to it, good thing I placed my hand under the bed. Turns out, there's a locker beneath it.” I explained.
”Good catch, where's my cut then?” He holds his hand up.
I looked and him and said, ”Your cut? Hah! Stop pulling my leg old man! If anything, Kaley should have half of these.”
”Yeah, yeah just trying if you're gonna fall for it.” he said while giving a hearty laugh.
”Not in a million years old man.” I said laughing.
We placed the guns on my armory first and I waited on the living room for the next broadcast.
It got a bit late today since it started at 4:10 PM, not the usual time they did. The message was still the same updates from before. We can't really accomplish that much in a few days and for everything to progress would require much time. We just noticed a few more foreign people around and I thought that they must be a few of the people from other countries that was sent here.
However, they revealed to the public the sprinters that we saw. It was caught in one of their helicopters and it recorded a few of them making a beeline away from the city. They said that they plan on capturing one alive for further studies but those things are too fast. They haven't given news on the ones staying still and with a few words of encouragement from the president, the broadcast concluded.
I then grabbed the remote when the survival videos are being broadcasted. I was about to turn it off but Tatiana spoke.
”Sky, that person there, doing the guides, it is you correct?” she said.
The group then turned their heads toward me as I rubbed my glabella.
”Where?! I didn't see him there though.” Olivia said.
”No, if you pay attention. The guy with the gloves cleaning the guns looks really familiar with his technique. I saw that earlier today when Sky is disassembling the guns, correct?” she said.
”Hah! Looks like they found you out kid!” Oscar laughed.
I just shook my head though I gave a smile after.
”Yeah, that's me. After this is all over the president will owe me royalties for using some of those videos.” I said.
”That's really you?!” Olivia said.
”I knew it! I just didn't say anything!” Kaley added.
”Yeah, I wore gloves and a mask to hide my voice and the tattoos. I started on making a few of those videos with Oscar but I ended up doing it all.” I said.
”Hah! You're much better at speaking than me kid!” he defended himself.
”Well, you had the idea but you could've at the least helped me with something!” I said.
”What? Editing? I'm not as tech-savvy as you think! Well, telling the man that you're the one who did some of those helped us since he sent Tatiana over here.” he exclaimed while laughing.
”Reasons. To be honest, I was surprised when I saw my videos after the broadcast, I never told anyone since I cringe whenever I hear my own voice.” I said.
A few of the group laughed at the thought.
We finally turned the TV off after a few minutes of talking. I then asked a few in the group to pick up the other people still in their houses to get ready for our small celebration later.
They brought the car out for Andrew's and Arthur's family.
I headed to the gym for a workout while a few joined me. I saw Kaley getting training from Tatiana so I just did things on my own. They started on stretching while I ran on the treadmill first. After I finished my daily workout Tatiana approached me.
