Bullet Casings Of Hell

Chapter 16: Sorrow

After the mission was a success, Loona and I we're taken to the infirmary to recover from our injuries that we received during the mission. I was unconscious during the trip back since the concussion I had was severe from the encounter I had with Hilton when he threw me into a pile of broken bricks.

"Will he be alright?" Loona asked.

"Don't worry Loona, he will be fine. We ran a cat scan, the hit on the head did crack his skull a little but the concussion was mild. He might be out for a couple of days. You should lay down, you just recovered from surgery." Dr Kimberly explains.

"I know but I will never forgive myself since he saved my life from a deadly fate." Loona says in guilt.

"I know Loona, but I will do whatever I can to help him recover. Just please lay down."

Loona sighed and laid back down on her bed. Dasha headed to Natalya's office to give the report of the mission and she knows that with Commander Hilton out of the way it will severely damage the leadership of many Red Claw bases.

"Good work Dasha, many of the Red Claw bases will be raided since Commander Hilton is killed." Chole says with praise.

"You should thank Stan for that. He's the one that finished the mission." Dasha says.

"I know he did. Since the team gave him credit as well. I have been told that he saved one of you." Natalya says.

"Yes. Loona will never forget it." Dasha says.

"Natalya, I think he has proven himself, should we do something for him?" Chloe asked.

"Well, I have been thinking about giving a promotion since I decided to change his rank from private to Sergent and maybe give him this for saving one of his own." Natalya says as she went in her locked cabinet.

"What is it?" Chole asks.

"A silver medal that is hard to earn by saving a fallen soldier and leave no man behind as to finish a mission and Stan earned it. As for Loona for taking a bullet and still standing, I would give her a purple heart medal." Natayla explains as she took a wooden box out with the medals inside.

"You want me to give the medals to them?" Dasha asked.

"I'll do it. When they fully recover." Natalya says.

Later during the day, I was still asleep after the surgery, the top of my head is covered in bandages and my cuts and bruises have been treated. Loona recovered well on her gunshot wound, she had to be in a cast for a week but she can still fight.

3 days later....

I have been asleep 3 days straight after being transferred from the infirmary to my room at the dorms. Everyone was getting concerned about me not waking up but Krystal told them that my brain activity is normal, it's just that the medicine that Dr.Kimberly gave me for my concussion has a deep sleep side effect. Loona constantly comes in my room to check on me, she always sits next to my bed and always hope that I will eventually wake up.

Dasha and the rest of team was relaxing and resting. Nika was making some dinner while Krystal was napping and Dasha was upgrading and fixing up her weapons and gear. Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Nika! Can you get that?!" Dasha shouted as she was working on her pistol.

"Yeah, yeah." Nika says as she opens the door.

It was Bravo team and sees Samantha holding a bouquet of Flowers and a get well card.

"Can we help you?" Nika asked.

"Hi, we have some things for Stan, and we hope that he recovers." Katie explains.

"He will appreciate it." Nika says as she takes the items.

"Besides, I didn't know you care about him." Nika said suspiciously as she noticed the familiar scent from them like on my military uniform earlier.

"Oh we know him, we broke the ice with him and wanted to be friends with him." Lisa explains.

"Uh-huh. Well I still got my eye on you three." Nika says before she closes the door on them.

"Who was that?" Dasha asked as she walked into the living room.

"Bravo team. They just came by to give their condolences and get well gifts for Stan. And honestly I'm kinda suspicious about them to be honest." Nika says as placed the flowers in a jar filled with water.

"Like what?" Dasha asked.

"Stan had an odd scent on his clothes earlier before I washed them for him, and when I answered the door, Samantha and Katie had the same scent. But I brushed it off, I don't want to jump to conclusions that they took advantage of him or something like that." Nika explains.

"Yeah just drop it. Let's just relax." Dasha says as she rolled her eyes.

"Ok, ok." Nika says as she took the flowers to my room.

"Did you buy those?" Loona asked.

"No, Bravo team did." Nika says as she placed them on the nightstand.

"Besides, how is he?" She asked.

"He's doing okay, but been moving around a little but he's still haven't woken up yet." Loona says.

"You want me to keep an eye on him? you haven't slept in a couple of days." Nika offered.

"Well alright... " Loona says as she left the room but hesitated.

"I got this. Just go." Nika says.

She sat down and hoped for me to open my eyes. Meanwhile, Scott and his friends were finally let go for their time from the prison wing but they are on probation after their incident with me.

"So, we get probation and that no-fur doesn't?" Reginald says

"He wasn't even punished and I get stabbed!" Kyle shouted.

"Enough you two!. Look, we will plan our revenge later, but Loona is to blame for this since she is the leader of the alpha team and approved that human trash to be on the team anyway. And she rejected me and didn't see that I have feelings for her, maybe we can give her some time to see who can dominate her better." Scott explains.

"Ok fine with me. Maybe she will understand after our fun with her in our dorm." Kyle says

"Then, let's go find her and give her a night she will never forget." Reginald says as they headed back to the dorms.
