Shadow over the Frontline (Madness Combat x Girls Frontline)

Spy

Qilin POV

Ugh... god damn it!

I turned around on my back and just stared into the sky while rain droplets were tickling my masked face.

I slowly got up and inspected our little accident.

Our humvee was flipped upside down and somehow still hit a tree. Our expert driver drove down a cliff.

I then slowly tried to get up. Luckily I wasn't seriously injured and only minor scratch wounds were found after I crawled out of the vehicle.

I looked around and soon saw Lockjaw helping Shadow up.

Qilin: see! I told you!

Lockjaw: that was... yeah I got nothing.

Shadow: never... never ever again...

Qilin: everyone in one piece?

Lockjaw: no. She seems to be bleeding.

Qilin: right.

I walked up to our new acquaintance. She was bleeding from her chest. I stroked her blonde hair out of her eyes and she looked at me which means that she's still alive.

?: ...

Qilin: good news, you're still alive! Bad news, I'm your doctor!

She got a kinda fearful expression but I patched her up nonetheless. A few broken ribs.

Qilin: seems like you have a few broken ribs. You want me to cut you open and try to fit the parts back in place? I'm not a mechanic but a medic.

She was frantically shaking her head.

Qilin: hehe. Only messing with you. Or am I? Now hold still.

I grabbed a bit of morphine and injected her with it.

She soon got back to her feet as I pulled her up.

Qilin: you good? What about the broken ribs?

?: I'll live. My body is just like a human one. It will fix itself with time.

Qilin: with time. What about now?

?: faster than the normal human. Now let's continue.

Qilin: let's find some place to stay first. It's getting dark.

?: I approve of this decision.

I turned back to my men and told them to pack up. We're moving again.

Flashback

The „hostage" was still screaming but her screams were muffled by a piece of cloth that was wrapped around her mouth.

Shadow: what now?

Qilin: I don't know. Lockjaw? How?

Lockjaw: the humvee wasn't driving itself. I had to do something about the driver.

Qilin: alright...

I walked up to the trunk and lifted her tied up body out of it and dropped her onto the ground. I removed the cloth covering her mouth and she said.

?: just kill me already!

Qilin: a feisty one.

Lockjaw: why not.

He pulled his suppressed pistol out and racked the slide. And I could see the fear in her eyes. I signaled Lockjaw to stop in his tracks.

Qilin: alright. You're the first woman I've seen wearing a uniform. Who or what are you?
