Chapter 373 - Boat - Goedendag (1/2)
Each and every one of my people started boarding their vehicles but they got confused when I pulled Mikhail over. All of my equipment was inside Tatiana's HUMVEE besides my katana and my Maxim 9.
”Yes, Boss?” Mikhail said, smiling while holding his PKM.
”Come with me.” I replied and I motioned for us to walk on the dirt road.
”Yes, Boss.” Mikhail followed me without question.
”Hey, where are you two going?” Kaley asked.
”Oh, to the wooden boat Jared and I used. It's still at the back of the hospital.” I replied then I saw Jared hiding inside the Raptor.
”Wait, why?” Tatiana asked.
”First of all, I'm kinda tired. I won't be able to row the boat and I bet Jared wouldn't come with me anymore. I had to row us most of the way last time when we got here...” I replied.
”Wait, I thought you two used the other- you two just rowed the boat here?!” Kaley exclaimed.
”Yes, gently~ down~ the~ stream~” I chuckled.
”Why?” Kaley and Tatiana were shaking their heads.
”We need to be quiet, remember? we don't know who might be lurking when we rowed here. Besides, the guys on the other motorized boats already left and I forgot to tell them to pull us over.” I raised my hands helplessly.
”Can't you just come back for it? Do you even know how long you guys would take to row that?” Kaley rolled her eyes.
”Oh~ I smell a f.u.c.k.i.n.g challenge eh? Mikhail, did I hear that right?” I raised one of my eyebrows.
”Yes Boss, that's definitely a challenge.” Mikhail nodded a few times.
”Okay, Bing, Allan, and Lois! You f.u.c.kers heard that, right? Let's go!” I exclaimed as Mikhail laid down his PKM inside the HUMVEE. The other three were coming in at slow motion while I was starting to stretch my whole body.
”You guys are ridiculous...” Kaley was facepalming as she rode shotgun at Tatiana's HUMVEE. The five of us made our way to the boat while the other group was still confused if we were serious or not. The boat was big enough to house us five and I started to remove the knot tying us on the riverbank.
”Can we even beat them?”
”Yep.”
”How?”
”Muscle and Willpower.”
”Fair enough.”
”We should give them a headstart.”
”Agreed.”
”Obviously.”
”Bro...”
”Hmm?”
”There are only two oars here...”
”...”
”...”
”...”
”...”
”...”
Long story short, it took us a few hours not because we were weak but because we were too prideful to ask for help and it was too f.u.c.k.i.n.g late to back down. We luckily found enough oars from another boat a few minutes forward and we got to move faster compared to earlier.
When we reached the other end of the compound, Kaley was there with the rest of my group. Jay and the rest of his family were also present because they were living at this location.
”I thought you were racing us, hmm?” Kaley had an amused look while I was scratching my head.
”We were about to go full throttle but we suddenly saw the beautiful sunset...” Bing started.
”Really~?” Tatiana chuckled.
”Yes, as men, we enjoy beautiful things because we also have our sensitive side.” Allan added.
”Of course, you all do...” Jenny was also there, shaking her head while chuckling.
”Okay, dinner is about ready. Let's head back so you guys could get a hot shower! You're all sweaty! Especially you, semi-big guy!” Daisy added, looking at Bing.
”Mikhail, Earl and Juan need your help for our Vera problem.” Tatiana added.
”Oh? No problem, I could still carry her.” Mikhail replied.
I asked Mikhail to securely tie the boat first before we all rode the truck back to our compound.
Everyone was already present and the tables were being set properly. They all laughed before greeting us then I went to my house to take a quick shower. I saw that my BCM was right next to Kaley's rifle and a pile of guns was right by the corner where a few of them were already cleaned.
