The Red Nights 37- Sunset
Jamal was heading for MontClay, the second city. In the end, the soldiers he brought with him were only half of the army he had saved in Short-river, however, this result didn't bother him, and on the contrary, he thought it was rather a good number. As it was the city the most in crisis, he didn't expect so many of them to agree to join in. That was why he was not very insistent during his speech."We should be there within 10 minutes," Volga shouted. They were rolling for quite a long while now and the shape of the city started to be perceived forward on the horizon while, on the side, the sun was slowly falling, pushing them slowly but further into the darkness."Would they provide some greeters as we did for you?" she asked while glancing at the sun with worried eyes."I don't think so," he responded. "They had planned that I would take two days to treat your case, therefore they are expecting me to arrive there only tomorrow"."Oh, I see. And do you know where we have to go? Did
The Red Nights 38- Surrounded
Volga was the first one to wake up. She got up from her sleeping bag and looked around her while she was stretching out, seeing that she was the only one up and it was about time to go to the battlefield she decided to play her role of chief and to go wake her men up.[Where is he?] she asked herself.She had walked almost around the whole store, waking up her entire troop until she realized that she didn't see Jamal anywhere. She even made another round thinking that maybe they crossed each other but she just missed him while she was focused on someone else. However, the result was the same and instead of finding him, she met with Sania and Carl at the back of the store.They didn't notice her approaching as they were hurriedly putting some stuff in their bags.[Maybe it's because I've pressed them to quickly prepare themselves] Volga guessed.Anyway, she decided to not pay much attention to it and rather go ask them about Jamal's whereabouts."Hey guys," she called them when she cam
The Red Nights 39- Let's Return To School
There was a moment of calm where nobody couldn't pronounce a word. Among the group of people, Nelson's men were particularly quiet. They were all immobile, surrounding the stack of bodies while staring at them deeply as if they were admiring a painting.On their side, the other army was completely lost, they didn't know what was going on or why their allies were acting like that after they just won their battle against the outlaws. They didn't stop glancing at each other as if it was the other person who had the answers.Sania who had enough of this situation discreetly stepped back and, still without drawing any attention, walked toward Volga and Jamal who were a little bit farther away from the crowd plotting alone as usual."If I didn't know you, I would think you are dating each other," she firstly said once she arrived near enough to being heard, "your woman should be now more worried about her than me".Jamal, who was still on his motorbike leaning on Volga's car door, had an em
The Red Nights 40- I'm a helper
So as promised after they would all finish enjoying the party set for celebrating their victory against the outlaws, Nelson's army would join Short-river's army and Jamal in their journey to Palet, the next city on the list, to lend them a hand in their fight."For all our brothers and sisters lost in the combat! Cheers!" a man shouted while holding high a bottle of cocktail juice, Jamal asked them to avoid alcohol as they had another battle the next day and they had to be fully operational, it had been very difficult to convince them but he managed to negotiate an agreement which was to diminish the bottles of alcohol and to compensate with fruit juices so they risk of being drunk would be less. His comrades followed him and we could see many hands raising glasses of juice while all people were shouting "cheers!".Jamal was staring at them and he couldn't help comparing the fact that it was more noisy and agitated than Short-river since they were more numerous but he also noticed som
The Red Nights 41- Determination
The three armies of the three cities were all gathered in the dining hall for the feast their host, Glenn had prepared for them.While straying his sight around him, Jamal realized how big that room was. In one sight, he counted that they were nearly one hundred people and still each of them was well installed on one of the two long tables which were occupying the dining room. Those tables were filled with many varieties of food; mashed potatoes, salads, meat, chicken, and many other meals. There were many fruit juices naturally prepared, and Jamal was happy to notice that he didn't put too much wine or any alcohol as it would have reduced the capacity of the soldiers in the coming battle.While they were enjoying that banquet, Glenn was humbly explaining to Jamal, Volga, Nelson, and Sania, who was sitting near him, where all the foods, which had been prepared and set on the dinner, were coming from. Jamal, like all the others, thought that they were their provisions, which was correc

"Alright, it's settled. Tomorrow we will go for the outlaws and will proceed as we have planned today," Jamal said to conclude the strategic meeting while he already started to fold the map and collect the other materials they used. He walked toward a shelf and stocked them there in order, "however, for the time being, I ask you to go find your beds and have some rest to replenish as much of your energy as you can before we go on this mission. So hurry up and go to sleep".Everyone agreed and the noisy crowd started slowly leaving the room, some of them were discussing the mission, explaining and commenting on some steps of the plan while the others were rather sharing some stories of their previous missions with the members of Palet's group. They were cheering them up as some of them were still very worried.[Which is completely normal. Tomorrow will be their first real battle] Jamal said to himself while he was gazing at the crowd on their way."It also valid for you," he said to th
The Red Nights 43- Fight For Palet (part II)
"What is she saying?" Volga asked Jeffrey, the one who was holding the walkie-talkie and was in charge of transferring the information to the other teams. He repeated what he had heard Sania say through the walkie-talkie, "umm... she is saying that she is on the roof of her car and she is naked".Volga suddenly turned her head to gaze at him "What... what does that mean?"The boy shrugged, looking as confused as she was, and added, "she's also saying that she managed to draw Brett and his men to Nelson's team's location, so I guess that... she achieved her mission. She is even on her way to join Nelson".Volga nodded with a neutral expression, she looked at Jeffrey again and shouted to him, "stop blushing like an idiot and return to your position it's almost time".He immediately executed but did not hold himself to complain and regret silently having chosen the wrong team to be in.Volga then turned to face her enemies standing on the wall surrounding their quarter.It had been quite
The Red Nights 44- Fight For Palet (part III)
They were progressing in a dark long hallway aiming to reach the white square of light before them while the noises of gunshots and the screams of the outlaws were becoming louder with every step they put. They could even hear footsteps coming from above them giving the impression that people were running in every direction, on the upper floor.Volga had chosen to walk two by two as the hallway was not very large and also she thought that if they were too many they would not be able to react in time in case of an ambuscade.[They don't have reflexes as sharp as mine so I better walk in front so that I can protect them well] she had said to herself."We are almost there, only five meters left, get ready," Carla whispered to her comrades behind her. She had, earlier, proposed to Volga to be her partner and the latter didn't say no since that was what she had planned to do from the beginning. Volga believed that this girl was the most capable of all her team and the devotion she didn't s
