(Chris p.o.v) -A few hours later-
-Most of the mining facility was within sight now, ant like figures both within and outside, one massive bucket wheel excavator dead centre of the operation-
-Many other dump trucks and other mining vehicles scattered about moving rock and ore-
Adder:"That main target right there" -Adder points to the titanic bucket wheel excavator-
-Shutting my eyes for a moment I place my hand to my head a flash of entering Iron Jaw passing my mind-
"These beastly earth diggers littered that shit hole...."
Adder:"Chris?" -I was snapped out of thought by Adders two blue orbs-
-My eyes focus turning to look back at the excavator, Adder held a slightly strange look on her face-
Chris:"I'll deal with the digger...."
Adder:"I'll be on sniper duty then" -She leans against a rock getting a better look-
-Her eyes become slits as she pulls me back both of us getting low-
Chris:"Wh-"
-She presses her finger against her muzzle shushing me, on cue the sound of steps could be heard followers by radio chatter-
Radio(R):"Cliffstrider report in...."
-A sigh left the male sounding Anthro-
Cliffstrider(R):"Yeah what's up?"
Radio(R):"Pick up the damn radio next time!, I'm getting sick of trying to contact your ass!" -An angry voice shouts at the other side of the radio-
-An annoyed groan left the Anthro-
Cliffstrider(R):"Yup, sorry my bad" -He casually responds-
-Another sigh left him as he leans against a treelog while looking down towards the base-
-Raising my head up I lock eyes with the back of the Cobra lizards hood-
-Standing up I gently pull out my dagger a scowl forming on my face-
-Making it only two steps I was suddenly yanked back, falling on my ass Adder crouches above me covering my mouth-
-The Cobra finally stands back up walking away to continue his patrol-
Adder:"No..., not now...." -She very gently whispers to me-
-An angry glare was in my eyes-
Adder:"I remove my hand I don't want to hear a word out of you alright?" -The feline commands me with a serious glare-
-An angry scowl covered my eyes-
Adder:"I don't want to hear it Chris.." -She warns-
-With a muffled huff I nod my head as she removes her hand-
-Peeking back over the rock we see he has moved quite far away at this point-
Chris:"We could've killed him..., play it off as him not answering again.."
Adder:"You must not understand.. 'I don't want to hear it', do you?"
Chris:"I'm just saying-"
Adder:"And I'm just saying that they would come looking and find us, what then dipshit?" -The Anthro scolds me-
