Chapter 7 - Dangerous Encounter

8. October 2061 6:00

As on cue Mikel woke up, when his clock showed 6 o' clock. Then he started to plan his day.

"Yesterday I nearly ended building body for new doll, it was much faster, because of parts condition and my experience with building Eora. I should probably make some traps for wild animals? But in those times it would be much faster, if I would go hunt with my rifle. And ammunition, both CZ and Grot needs ammo, only 3 mags for my CZ left. I don't think, that Eora have much ammo for her rifle."

When he thought about Eora he looked at his right, where Eora was lying. 

"Again at my bed? Ehhh Whatever..."

Then he turned his gaze to ceiling. After moment of thinking he decided:

"Let's go to that 'Black Market' thing and see what's in there"

When he nod Eora woke up. She looked at Mikel still being half asleep.

"Good morning Mikel"

"Good morning Eora. Today we will go to that 'Black Market', that Oleksandra told us about, so try to get up as fast as you can."

"mhmm... WAIT! You said 'we'?!" she quickly got back her consciousness after hearing that

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I should stay here! What if someone will come here and rob us?! We don't have a lot, so if someone will get this away from us, we would certainly not survive!"

Mikel thought about this for a moment.

"You have the point, but we can't do anything with that. I can't go alone there, what if I would be attacked by Sangvis patrol? Or what if Oleksandra told us about that in purpose for killing us and taking our supplies away? Besides our base is well camouflaged and away from main road."

"Ok, you won. 'We' will go there."

Eora said that with bit of anger in her voice, but Mikel saw, that in fact she wanted to go with him, because she started to blush after every argument he said.

"You know, that I can see what you really wanted?"

Then she blushed with full power.

"J-just go away already! I need to dress up!"

After hearing that he laughed a bit and went to the kitchen part of cave. The grotto had a curtain between kitchen and bedroom, so when he left bedroom, Eora quickly covered the "room" with curtain. Mikel started to make breakfast for them. When Eora ended dressing herself, she came out of bedroom.

"Now my turn" Mikel said that passing her a kitchen spatula

Timeskip 8:24

After eating their breakfast they left their base with their weapons and backpacks fulfilled with medicaments for exchange. After 2 hours of walking they got to place marked by Oleksandra, but something wasn't alright. Mikel ordered Eora to stay alert. Now both of them are going with their weapons in hands. 

After a while they found thing, that was in Mikel's sense of danger wrong. That thing was SF regiment.

Mikel gestured to Eora to hide in the nearby bushes, while he hid behind a tree.

After taking their position Mikel started to gather information about their enemies. 

They were on move, about 50 meters away from them, Mikel wasn't sure about their numbers, because they were in forest and numerous thickets didn't allow him to count them.
