We pack our things right away, i take what is my responsibility, the radio. Amy handles the medical stuffs. She pack her things with very caution and diligently. I always see her pack her things so neat and organize. Only some medicines, that i know the functions of, i can name typical stuff like aspirin, morphine, stimulant, vitamins, just some basic stuffs. She put it in her bag that consists of a light box that made of light material plastic that can keep the medicine cool for three months on campaign. Juan the enforcer takes his heavy gun, the machine gun, carefully he check it whether the safety is still off or on and gather the box of ammunition. His strong and big body makes his duty seems easy, it may be twice and a half of my weight. Still, i'm glad he is strong enough to bag our ammo. Rob the sniper check his scope and wipe it to make it clear from the fog and ripple of water that gets into its lens.He wear some kind of white cloak that hide his appearance. The cloak is made of a special material that has rough skin. In it's cloak it has function to change it's color based on what's the surrounding in his field. He can change it into green like in the forest, or a bit of yellow and orange like in the sand, it was specially made with light materials and easy to wear, while change its color like a gecko hunting its prey. He also happened to take care of our rations, food and drink supplies, sometimes i also take turns to bring our rations with him.
While, the most convenient is our captain, Orto. He takes his rifle and pack his notes with maps and compass inside his small bag that hang around in his waist. The color just happen to be with our uniform, white clear matching with the white snow color. Orto sometimes wanted to lend a hand to share our burden with him, especially on Juan, since he has the heaviest equipment. But, he rejected it because of his higher rank and we should respect our captain. Orto only wants what the best of us, our team Jackrabbit
We walk slowly through a slippery road toward the abandoned shack. The wind is a bit of strong that might try to unbalance us, if we are not careful. The sound of our shoes breaking the snow in front of us crash with the windy sound that will never stop.
Batavia used to be a tropical country, which will never have a snow coming down. Since, the dawn of men, the weather suddenly change with extreme temperature. At night, we are not suppose to be outside, since the temperature will almost drop below 30, and we need to save our clothes heater energy.
I grip tightly on my own gun preparing if somehow a sudden enemy is coming out. I can feel the chilling air breeze hitting my cheeks. Somehow, i only concentrate behind Orto pointing our gun to the shack's door. The shack is made of some special woods that is strong enough to hold the wind and snow weather. The small creek sound is made every time strong wind hit the cellar. Orto then slowly open the door with small of iron handle that attach in the door and let Juan charge in pointing his gun to the right side, the with sudden speed i march in pointing to the left side. Rob guarding our behind, while Amy and Orto pointing their pistols.
"Clear !", Juan shouted.
"All clear !", i shouted repeating what Juan has said.
Then Amy march in with Orto and Rob in her back. Amy let a sigh coming out from his mouth, a glad expression before taking off her backpack and her medicine stuffs.
"This is nice, we can spend our night in here also", Amy talk to begin our discussion. She already like the place.
