‘Amir, wake up… there’s something you should see’ Dirk thought to Amir
After Amir and Dirk heard the helicopter they went into hiding for a few hours. Eventually they decided to resume sleeping in shifts and Dirk had the first watch awake. Once sun had set Dirk was confident enough in himself that he could move around on the island without getting noticed, if anyone were there to notice him. After leaving the cave he started exploring in the direction that the compound used to be. Turns out that the helicopter had landed there. Now there were men setting up tents as a possible command outpost. These did not look like the scientists that had held them captive however. They were military.
“They look like U.S. military, i’m leaving the cave so i’ll be with you in a second” Amir thought to Dirk.
‘What do you think they’re here for?’
“Well, considering how soon it is after the compound disapeard, they may be here to investigate it.”
‘Maybe they can help us’
“Maybe. Lets watch them for a while and then one of us can make contact”
They decided that they should each take a direction and start scouting out the perimeter of the makeshift military base being set up in front of them. Sharing their vision they were able to cover each others territory as well as their own at the same time. Vision sharing is very difficult however because sometimes you get so involved in concentrating in your partners vision in your own that you begin to take wrong steps or almost walk into trees.
…or, as the case may be, tripping and falling down a small hill…
Dirk had mistepped and tripped over a tree root down a hill tumbling for about 10 yards. This got the attention of the men in the field below who immediately grabbed their M-16s and began running towards Dirk.
“Do what they tell you Dirk” Amir thought “we were going to end up meeting them anyways. Don’t tell them that I’m here, if they end up being trouble for us I can possibly get you out.”
‘Sounds like a plan’
“STAY DOWN, PUT YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD AND LIE DOWN ON THE GROUND” one of the military guys yelled at Dirk
Dirk complied and soon he was being dragged towards one of the tents…
…to be continued…
So this weekend was a lot of fun. It started friday with a mini-RHF officers retreat at the Kappa Delta house, which lasted til approximately 4 AM. I learned a lot about people and had a really good time.
At the retreat we all shared 3 of our favorite things… here were mine (i shared 4 cause three of them sucked)
1. Karli my classical guitar
2. Working out
3. My laptop… cause without it i would spontaneously burst into flames… bringing upon the apocolyse.
and
4 (the good one) the medal i received from attending the International Science and Engineering Fair for the science fair project I did senior year of high school. I told everyone about my project and they were a lot more interested than I thought they would be. (Saturday I showed a few of them the video journal i have from the project)
so those were fun times.
Saturday was the football game… which the last 10 seconds were the most critical.
We lost 17-16 and we kicked a 43 yard field goal and missed in those last 5 seconds (i think it was actually the last 3 seconds though)
post game a bunch of us (i.e. Kate, Jeremy, Ali, Ashwin, Ashley (ashwin’s girlfriend) and Myself) all played volleyball.
My team (me, ashwin and ashley) crushed the other team 4 games to nothing. Though the last game was the closest cause we went into volleyball overtime (you have to win by two points)
That was a lot of fun.
Later on a group of us… Ron, Me, Jer, Holly and Kate watched Mean Girls and >Van Wilder In my room til 4 AM…
“I will keep you here all night!
We can only keep them til 4.
I will keep you here until 4!
haha, it’s funny that we actually ended at 4
lots of fun, love you RHFers
went to the gym today (finally, it had been a really long time since we last went) and it was bicep day (my favorite day)
I always love working my arms/chest out cause i feel really good during/afterwards. There has been a noticable improvement in the amount of weight i can bench and curl and whatnot.
and… i dont know if you girls enjoy it… but that feeling you get in the chest when kinda bouncing down stairs, where your boobs bounce… that feels so cool (my pecs do that)
alright, class in 7.4 hours
good night all
~M
p.s. i made a new tattoo design, lemme know if you wanna see it cause i may end up getting this one… depends if i come up with anything better
