"Is that the river I'm hearing? I haven't been home since.. I can't remember.."

"It's a river. But we're not in Moscow."

"We're not? But Geddler said.. ?"

"Geddler lied to get you to calm down. You were getting out of control."

"So where are we?"

"Sector 5."

"We didn't make it out?"

"The brigade tried to break through into sector 6, but got ambushed by artillery fire. Bloody accurate, too. Nothing came back. We thought it better to find another way."

"But we're still in sector 5?"

"Haven't found a way. Geddler sent O'Halloran and Moody up to Division Command. No word. Probably dead by now."

"What about Geddler?"

"I've no idea. He had the last watch of the night. When I went up to releave him he was gone. So I came back down, and you were awake. Peterson is up on the tower trying to scope the situation. It's just the three of us now."

"I see. What tower?"

"There's a.."

A tremendous shockwave of sound struck them then, and the bunker-like structure shook with tremors. Small parts of the ceiling came down, and the room filled with mad dust.

"That came.. *cough* ..from the direction of the.. tower. I think it's just us. Can you get up? Walk? Maybe run?"

"I only lost an arm and an eye. Sure. Let's get out of here. But where?"

"Follow me. There are tunnels out back."

"Where to?"

"Guess. The only way we haven't tried."

"Enemy territory."

"Can't be worse than this."

"I really wish you hadn't said that.."
 


Today was good and bad. It was bad because my mom read some mail of mine and started freaking out (she called me nd started chewing me out). Thing is, what was in the mail was an non issue. I still have to talk to my mom about the specifics tomarrow since I was at the fair today.

While at the fair I ended up getting a Conquistador Helmet from a Persian art dealler for 100 bucks (original price was either 125 or 150).
