Hope Like an Angel
Our Plan
Tonight then?!
Mean later? Eight o'clock?
"Huh? Why change your mind?" I asked, suddenly...
"Yes, why?" Jennifer too.
"Look..I don't want to wait too long, and I don't want to be caught by the Great General, which time is suitable except now?" He replied, I'm still confused.
"Just think about it, tomorrow we will help the evacuees, but what if we are too careless to be killed by the monsters in that place?
Now it's more precise and fitting, isn't it?" Raphael clarified, hmm...
"Hmm.. I think we go along with what Leo said.he's very calculated, I'm sure he's also thinking about the time we checked the place well." Jennifer is replying.
...
"Alright, but I still want to hear Falisha's opinion." He's waiting for me.
Should I go with Raphael... or Jennifer...?
I think tonight it's better.the sooner we slaughter or find out something about monsters, the better.
"I agree with Raphael.sorry, Jen..." I answered that message.
"Thank you, beautiful!!!" Answer Raphael.
"Whispering." I reply again.
"Wow... have we gathered at what time?" Jennifer asked.
"Hmm... How far away is that mysterious place, Raf?"
"Eastern from the school gate, about two kilometers."
"That means it takes twelve minutes to get there, yes.if from my house, it means about four kilometers, almost half an hour." My reply
"Not if you're on a bike." Raphael.
"But I don't have a bike..."
"It's okay, we're together again."
"You sure? What if it's heavy and tired before we get there?"
"Oh, Fal. I am a man, it is his duty to serve a woman." He retaliated.
...
"All right, thank you." I concur.
"We're gathered at my house at seven, okay?"
"OK on." Jennifer and Raphael agree.

Now, at exactly 19:30, I've shared my home location with the group, they'll be arriving soon...
I've worn my squad uniform, put a long box in place in my pants, warmed up, exercised briefly, phew.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
It must be them!
I ran to the door and opened it slowly.
The kreeek...
"Good night, Falisha." That, Great General...
"Night, General." My feet have earthquakes of their own, but I can still talk...
The Great General in his uniform and his light sword that was turned off stood straight in front of me, resting both of his arms back.
"Oh? Well, you want to help people at this hour?" He stared at my uniform focused, bowing.
"Yes, General." I immediately agreed, gosh...
"Haha. Great, it's not wrong that Commander Leonardo took care of you." He chuckled, I nodded.
"I was on a patrol all over the area, then I reached the Western Region. I was going to check on you, Raphael and Jennifer, but Doctor Liona said that only you still have an internal barrier, can you continue your role as a soldier? There is no compulsion. For your age, you are gold for the Peacekeeping Force."
I. I still want to...
"Alright, careful. I suggest you start helping around here, there are still a lot of unfinished citizens, in fact, there are some who refuse, saying that the monsters are just conspiracies. Hahaha, it seems like the performance of the headquarters was successful enough that the monsters were considered like that." He chuckled again, nodding quickly.
If the monsters are considered mythical, it means that the Great General is very good at leading...
Should I tell her our plan...? What was his reaction?
"Umm, General." I called out to him, his body was about to go so frozen, his head was facing me.
"..."
"May the best come for all of us." Don't. I changed my mind, Leo and Raf tried so hard for this, it would be stupid to get caught just because of my mistake...
"Yes, may the best come to mankind." He replied, nodded slowly, then went to the left, leaving me alone...
Crews! I closed the door, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Pst... Fuckin' fal!" There was a sound coming from the window across from the entrance. He waved his hand.
"Who's there?" I whispered back, hoping to be heard.
"Raphela!" Ha's? What was he doing behind that white window?
I walked closer to him, opening him slowly. "Hey!"
"Sorry, Fal. I wanted to knock on the front door, but I saw the Great General talking to the troops guarding the trontoon near your house. I'm gonna back off and turn around back." He retaliated, with his yellow bicycle sitting on.
"I'm freaking out too, Raf. He's suddenly here." I had great goosebumps, really sudden arrival...
"Alright, come. Jennifer's not far from here." Raphael asked me to come down, and then I went out the window, it was strange to do this near Raphael...
A trap! I managed to get down, shut the window of my house.
"Okay, let's go up." Raphael tilted his bike, I climbed slowly, again standing and leaning against Raphael's shoulder.
"Phew. I'm afraid the three-plate meatballs make you heavy, they don't." He chuckles.
"Heh, it's past. After all, there's no day without me exercising." I answered annoyed.
"Hahaha, okay." He's been scraping his bike away from my house in the back, in a little alley dirtier than the main street on my doorstep.
"Hey, be careful, how about a fall? Who will take care of us? Brother Liona is gone." Raphael's bike is speeding, I object.
"Will not fall, I've been riding this bike for seven years. He's an expert over all the people in the world." He retorted, sometimes his head facing towards me, and back facing forward.
The direction out of the small alley until, then Raphael turned to the right.
"UH!"
BRUK!
I fell off the bike, Raphael hit someone...
"Ouch..." I felt the whole body, thank God, it's okay...
"God! You okay?!" Raphael asked worriedly.
"Can! Look who got hit! Don't worry about me!" Jesus... I just remembered, straight away.
"Oh yeah..." He changed direction, towards the one who was hit.
Waduh...
"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! CARRYING A BIKE AT SPEED BEYOND SANITY, RAPHAEL?!" I patted Leo on the forehead, and we hit him...
"Sorry, Leo." Raphael helped him up, Leo patted his uniform, shaking his head while covering his face.
"Haih.. if you want to help the people, do not rush this way.they will not all run away." He looked down at us. Raphael set up his bike again, swiping his uniform to make the ground fall.
"Eh. wait a minute..." Leo looked at us inside.
"You don't want to help the people.. You want to check out the place right now, right?" He said sharply, me and Raphael did not dare to answer.
The wide deserted streets were silent, several voices of passers-by chimed in.
"I. yeah, Leo. I think it'll be better..." I'm the one who answered.
"Fale..." Raphael.
"Hm, don't lie, it must be Raphael's idea." Gosh... Still got caught too, he's smart.
"All right, but you need to be careful, I can't help you. So please, protect each other, okay?" Leo said quietly, trying not to be heard by others. We both agreed, exclaiming happily...
"Be careful. Give my regards to Jennifer." He stroked the heads of the two of us, then walked into the main street, looking away at some of the residents...
