Chapter 58 Chapter 58
Kieran’s POV
When we emerged from our sleeping bag, we found that Alice and Bob had already set up the kitchen and were cooking everyone breakfast. After breakfast we all split up to get prepared for the war. Jess walked over to her friends, and I decided to leave her to it and went over to John.
“We need to organise these men into groups” he sighed “I was thinking if we put them in groups of four, they can look out for each other and attack as a group”
“That could work” I agreed “If we put one man with a gun in each group that would make it fair”
“You and Jess will be doing most of the shooting anyway and the vamps will be doing most of the killing on the ground. I hate to say it, but the humans are mainly just going to be used as a distraction for the vamps and you guys”
“I gathered that” I chuckled “They are not very highly skilled” I looked around at the men as I spoke, and they were like a bunch of kids running around.
“What are the girls up to?” He asked as he pointed at Jess and her friends who looked like they were looking at a bowl of water.
“I have not got a clue” I sighed “Jess should be helping us organise this chaos” I glanced at her mum who looked like she was about to go into a full-blown panic attack, while Justin and Bob were happily cleaning their weapons getting ready for the fight. “Two of them seem to know what they are doing”
“Trust me I am only happy you have those two as I have the vamps. Otherwise, I would be taking them with me”
“I don’t blame you” I sighed as I looked at the men we had to work with again “You go let Jess know that we need to start getting ready for the war and I will go and get the men to get into groups of four”
“I will come help you once I tell her” He nodded as he walked towards Jess, and I walked towards the group of me.
“Ok men” I yelled to get their attention “We are about to head to war, I need you to get into groups of four. Make sure that you all have at least one guns man in your group. Pick your group wisely as they will be your team in the war zone. You will have each other’s back and make sure that you all come out of this alive. Am I understood?”
They all mumbled a low yes and I was not happy with that.
“I said am I understood” I yelled causing them all to stand to attention and yell back
“Understood Sir”
“Good job” John told me as he patted me on the back, and we watched the men form into groups of four.
“Let’s just hope we all come out of this alive” I sighed
“My family is ready when you are” William told us with a smile
“I just need to organise these men and see what the girls are up to” I told him I glanced over, and Jess was now talking to her dad and brother, and her mum was over with the girls. I was curious to what was going on, but I needed to finish up with these men first.
“It looks like they listened to you” John told me as he nodded his head towards the men and most of them were now in groups of four. Just a couple of men were stood out on their own not in a group. Once of them just so happened to be the guy who gave Jess shit when John said she was a sniper.
“Oh look no one wants to be his friend” I chuckled
“Be professional Agent Storm” John warned me as I walked towards the two men.
I winked at him over my shoulder before addressing the men “You have a choice” I told them “You can either form a team with just the two of you. Or you can find a team that would like you to join them and become a team of five”
The guy who was left who didn’t give Jess shit went straight over to a group and then let him in straight away. The other guy looked around, and all the other men refused to look at him.
“Why are they all avoiding looking at you?” I asked him “We are about to go to war, and you need to be able to trust the men you are going to war with”
“Fucked if I know” he grumbled
“Fine” I smiled as I walked over to a random guy “Can you tell me why no one wants this guy in their group”
“Because he acts like a know it all and likes to belittle others” he told he honestly “And personally I was pissed off about the comment he made about the chick you work with”
“That chick is my fiancé” I chuckled as I turned back to the guy who was now turning pale “It seems that you have burnt your bridges with the men who are here, so you have a choice” I told him as I waved over John “You can go in alone, or you can be in a team with John, or you can stay here at camp and treat anyone who gets hurt”
“Or I can just leave” He snickered as he picked up his pack “I hope the aliens fuck you all up” he snarled before walking off.
“If they do, they will be blowing up the planet so you will die too” I called after him.
He just pulled the finger at me and carried on walking. As soon as we could no longer see him the men all cheered and high fived each other.
“So, I guess that none of you are upset he is gone” I chuckled
