Chapter 469
"What about you?" She looked at Harry and Jordan with worried eyes - they were both wounded.
Harry sterilized Jordan's wound, and said, "We have something to discuss. When we're finished, we'llrest." He cast a glance on her, rushing her to go and leave them alone.
Lola nodded in consent, but before she entered the tent, she first searched for her wolves. They wereall gone now, but when she moved forward, she spotted them strolling into the mouth of the cave.
Were there several cave exits and entrances? Confused, Lola walked back to the tent.
There were several bullet holes in the tent, but it was still usable. Lola crawled in and soon fell asleep.
Just before dawn, Lola heard the sound of a car engine. The car was used to send the guards thatwere seriously injured to Mando Bay and to replace new guards for their mission.
There left behind only one-third of the food that had been prepared beforehand. The guards droveaway in the off-road vehicle, leaving them the military van.
At the bonfire
Harry was staring gloomily at the rising flames in front of him.
"These are just some mindless minions, and that means that the big shot are still hiding behind thecurtain." Jordan pondered things while looking at his people cleaning the battle scene.
"I think so as well, but without any phone signal, we can't get in touch with Thomas. We don't know how
are things going on his side." Their phones couldn't make any calls, just locate their position.
Jordan looked at Harry and felt a little bit surprised. "Thomas? The man that has always been courtingLola?"
Harry nodded. He had never believed that Thomas would ever recuperate in Ascea. Their expeditionmust be a great opportunity for Thomas. This was his last and only chance to get back what he hasbeen longing for all this time.
In the morning, Harry went back to the tent while Lola was still sleeping like a log there.
He looked at her cheerfully. Then he lifted a corner of the quilt and coat, got in bed and fell asleepholding Lola tightly in his arms.
Later in the afternoon, they hit the road again.
This time Lola, Harry and Jordan sat in the back of the van. The vehicle didn't stop moving until itbecame completely dark outside.
Harry looked at the advanced tracking device, worried, and said slowly, "The guards stopped aboutseveral hundred kilometers away from here and they never moved again after that. It's been almostthree hours. Only one thing could have happened - the guards were killed on their way back."
That's what Jordan was also thinking. They also stopped the van to rest in the daytime, but never formore than half an hour.
When they were setting up the tent, Lola saw Harry open a common watch, spin it, and let it do itsthing.
But only after three magical sounds, Harry closed it.
"This is the SOS signal for Joey." He explained everything to Lola. But, in such a place where therewas no signal or electricity, such a device would not last that long. Two times maybe, tops.
Lola took the watch and looked at it curiously. "How long will it take him to get here?"
Harry thought for a while, and answered, "At least two days." But they had only one barrel of gasolineleft for the van. If Joey started the journey the next day, he could catch up with them.
No surprisingly, he would arrive tomorrow. The helicopter had been arranged for beforehand, and heonly needed to prepare some other necessities.
Harry checked the food stocks. There were ten people in total, including them.
For a group of ten, the food was barely enough for only one single day.
Because all except Lola were men, and they ate a lot. Now they had no choice but to cut down on theirfood quota. When the relief supplies arrive, things would get much better, but until then they had towork with what they had.
After briefing them about the harsh situation that they were facing, Harry distributed the food aftercutting it down by one-third.
Harry didn't want Lola to eat ship biscuits, because he knew that they weren't tasty, nor nutritious. Heinstead pushed the apple and dried beef in front of Lola. Harry's move made Lola quite confused, andshe asked, "What are you doing?"
Harry took a bite off the beef, and then said, "I don't like it. Can you help me eat it?" His words drewJordan's attention.
He knew that Harry had already been eating the same things for the past several days, and every timehe ate, he had obviously liked the food. "But now he says he doesn't like the food. He must want togive the food to Lola, " thought Jordan.
His words nearly made Lola choke on her biscuits. In such a dire context, it's fortunate enough to evenhave something to eat. That's what he had always told her.
She passed the dried beef and apple back to Harry, and bade him, "No, you need to eat them." Sheknew that Harry was trying to save his food for her, and her eyes were brimmed with tears of gratitude.
But Harry rejected the food, and Lola curled her lips in discontent, and complained, "Do you want me toeat too much and become a fat, ugly woman? Oh, so that you can then have excuses to replacemistresses? Is that what you are thinking, Harry?" "What's on Lola's mind?" thought Harry. He smiledhelplessly at her and eventually took the food.
Jordan heard what Lola said and shook his head. Even he was thinking that Lola was beingunreasonable now.
The icy water boiled, and Harry gave a cup of hot water to Lola. "Drink some water." The biscuits weretoo dry to be digested easily, and some water might be of help.
Jordan gave a cup of water to Harry, also filled another cup for himself, and then began drinking it.
At night, Lola and Harry chatted about their children and the wolves. Gradually, they fell asleep.
The following day, Joey didn't show up. In the afternoon, Harry checked on the food - they had eaten allof it.
Because they lacked gas, they couldn't move forward either.
But he couldn't stay still either. He had to replace some food at least, and so he took two other guys withhim to search around.
At dusk, they drove the van back. The rest of them were very worried.
Lola then rushed forward when the car had just stopped. She looked at Harry, who was sitting in thedriver's seat, and asked, "Where have you been?" She was worried because they had lost contact.
Harry wanted to caress her hair, but instead he raised his arms and embraced her. "I'm okay. See? I'mback safe and sound. I just went out to replace some food for us."
"Did you replace any?" "He smells like fish... Did he catch fish?" wondered Lola.
Then two guards threw a bag beside the bonfire.
Inside were fish and even some shrimps.
She took a step back and then looked at him up and down. "Indeed, his pants are soaking wet. Hemust have caught the fish himself, " thought Lola.
"Go change your clothes." Lola was touched that Harry, who had been living off the fat of the land, hadcaught the fish all by himself for them. She was almost about to cry out loud gratefully, but sherefrained from it.
The soaking pants and stinky fishy smell were not so delightful. So Harry took Lola's advice and wentto the tent to change.
