Chapter 34 - Donst mess with girls. (2/2)
"He'll live, but we have to get him back to base fast or he might lose his arm" said Caleb without his usual intellectual swagger.
Caleb disinfected, medicated, then bandaged up Yurika's arm. The 3 gashes on her chest were deep and might require stitches, but without any hesitation Caleb tore off Yurika's top and cleaned and treated her chest wounds. Yurika's face turned bright red when he took off her shirt and Stacia was about to yell at him, but when they both saw that Caleb was being completely professional about it they let it go as modesty had no place on the battlefield.
Everyone got patched up that needed it, Yurika was weak so she could only carry one weapon in her non-damaged arm and was unable to sling anything around her shoulders as her damaged ribs made it too painful. Stacia carried most of the weapons slung over her small body which in any other situation would appear quite comical. Geoff was stronger than Caleb so he hefted the unconscious Gray over his shoulders in a fireman's carry and all 5 started to head back towards the farm.
"Wait a moment, we need to make sure mama is actually dead." Said Yurika.
The mound of flesh and blood that was the mama did still appear to breathing. Caleb started to walk over to the mama rat but Yurika waved him off.
"Allow me"
Yurika grabbed a grenade, kicked open the rat's mouth, under-handed pitched the grenade into the mama rat's mouth and down its throat, the mama twitched as it instinctively swallowed the grenade. Yurika turned around and started to walk back towards the others when the grenade went off and the rat's body blew apart like a piñata raining blood and bits of flesh around the corpse.
Yurika continued to walk towards the farm they had come from without looking back. Caleb, Stacia, and Geoff stared at her wide-eyed and thought. "Never piss her off."
Everyone else followed Yurika before Caleb said "We need to destroy the nest still, I'll take care of it though alone, you guys keep going back to the farm."
The others agreed and the two girls and Geoff carrying Gray made their way back to the truck after Caleb took the last 3 grenades they had. Several minutes later when they finally reached the gate to the farm again, loud explosions were heard in the distance from Caleb blowing up the nest of the rats followed by several gunshots. Shortly after, Caleb joined up again with the group and said "Nest is destroyed, shot 3 babies, mission accomplished."
Gray finally regained consciousness and was leaning heavily on Geoff now, but he felt like he could pass out again at any time. Geoff smacked the entry button next to the intercom by the gate once he could see Caleb through the darkness.
"Who is it?" said the same farmer.
"Pest control, took care of the rats, we're injured and need help!" said Geoff.
"HOOOEEEEEYYYY You guys managed to kill off old Matilda? The boys are ne'er gonna bel_" the farmer started to say as a thick vein started to bulge visibly on Stacia's head.
Stacia suddenly burst out "Open the <insert your own expletive> door you idiotic son of a_!!!"
<BZZZZZT> The door was buzzed open as Stacia was finishing yelling at them.
The group made their way back to their truck as the farmers looked at them timidly through their windows.
"They left yet?" asked a farmer.
"Yep, whew, that one girl is scarier than old Matilda was…"
