I stand by the guy i shot in the leg. He looks at me as if i'm about to do a surprise attack on him. Well that's not at all i'm going to do. All i want right now is to have june,eden,and tess right next to me by my side. Being at one of our houses and watching a movie.
"So. What's your name?"
He hesitates for a moment as if trying to see if he should or if he shouldn not tell me his name.
"Carter my name is carter camacho."
He seems to want to give more information. He's not that old he looks like he is in his late twenties and seems to be scared. I don't think he want to fight in the war but something might tell me he has too.
"Carter what are you doing on this side of the republic."
"Well i am a runner. My job was really to throw bombs to try and distract your soldiers from ours. In all honesty sir i don't even want to be here. I was called because i didn't attend a college and was free to fight. I was chosen to be a runner because on our test to see where we would be placed i was running as fast as twenty three miles per hour."
"Hmm not bad carter not bad."
I start to think to myself that he can run. He's almost as fast as i am.
"One last question. Did they ever mention capturing someone at all?"
"Well yeah they did. They said something about going from behind someone and knocking them out to so that they couldn't see where they were going. They said something about fleeing to canada on a jeep then a plane. I don't know where in Canada but i think it would be Toronto."
I nod at him. He's been useful so far and has cooperated with us too. He's a good man.
"Okay since you have been a great help to us we will treat you nicely. We will get you some water and food. We will let you rest here until you are better to go on "
Carter seems happy at this. He must have not gotten any of this in Antarctica. He nods at me and mouths thank you.
"Wait sir. Can i ask what is your name?"
"Just call me day."
At that i can see his face turn in amazement.
"Nice meeting you day" he yells as i walk out the room.
I call the elector. He picks up right away.
"Elector, we have a lead. The person i shot has decided to cooperate with us and has given us information on where june might be. june might be somewhere in canada. Toronto to be specific. We need to look around there.
Can you send a message to canada if we can search around for june?"
"Day that's great. I'll send a message right away. I will inform you when we have confirmation on being able to search."
With that i end the call. I know i can find june. She's strong. She's safe. She's somewhere there she must be. All i hope is she will make it here back in my arms alive and safe. Just as i'm about to exit the tent i hear a bomb go off. Dust bomb. I run towards it to see someone i wouldn't expect to see. I feel a tear go down my cheek. This can't be happening right now. It's not suppose to be like this.
