After we visited the poor streets, we decided to eat lunch at the Starbucks next to the river. We stayed there a little, talking about each one's life before the recruitment and talking about the recruitment itself.
- Although my parents have a large prejudice, I would like to come home during these 2 weeks. I will talk to Captain Pierce tomorrow.
- I think it would be good for us to stay out of the base before going to another. What do you think Alex will do?
- I don't know, probably exercise everyday as if he wasn't dismissed?
- Yeah, probably. I also think he is going to skip a lot of training sessions for him to read.
- That 's not bad. It is a fact that he is enervating, but I hope he gets some free time before going to Brittion. - Said Caitlyn
- I think he will. It's getting late, we need to go, it's almost dinner time.
- Let 's go.
We arrived at the military base on time. The dinner was almost ready, so we joined Dom at the cafeteria.
After dinner, the three of us went outside, feeling the night air.I was going to wake up earlier than them, so we said our farewell there.
- No, I'm not only without you two when you go to Brittian, but also for two weeks.
- Oh please, I will be here for at least two more days.
- As if that would help, Caitlyn.
- I will miss your annoyance, Dom. - I smiled
- I know you will. - The three of us hugged.
- This is too sentimental, I'm going to bed. - Shouted Caitlyn. We all laughed.
Dom and I sat on the floor. I was appreciating the moon and the stars when he talked:
- I won't probably have time to say this when you arrive before your next recruitment, so I must say it now. You need to take precautions with Alex - I rolled my eyes - I'm serious! I'm aware of your capability of taking care of yourself, but I don't trust him.
- Me neither! But I have to work with him. I may hate him but I would hate myself more if I faced him head down. We're here for the same goal, which is to protect our nation. If I have to hate him all of my life and at the same time be with him, I will.
- I understand, truly. Just be careful.
A silent moment came.
Than, without even thinking about the topic, I asked:
- Do you know why I have a scorpio?
- Because of the unusual ?
- No. Because it's meaningful.
- Why is that?
- They mean protection and revenge, for example, and I'm equal to it. I protect and I can be protected. I take revenge and people can take revenge on me. I was alone at my dorm when the scorpio appeared. We were both alone. So, I decided to be silent in his company.
- I didn't knew that.
- Well, now you know. And the scorpio eats insects, so when I'm away please don't make the little one starve.
- You're saying that I have to feed a scorpio?
- It's just charity. - I laughed
- You owe me one.
- Noted.
