(Sota's POV)
"Get up, Sota! D-do you think she's dead?" A voice whispered.

I felt a cold hand on my shoulder and I shivered. "She can't be dead, she feels warm and I think she shivered."

"I-i'm not dead. Just tired," I yawned, pulling my blanket over my head.

"Dude, it's 10." I recognized York's voice.

Sitting up, I looked at each of the guys in my room. North, York, and Wash. Typical, I guess.

"Really? Shit shit shit! I slept in. Why didn't you guys come get me earlier?"

"You were up late. You deserved the rest," North explained.

"Alright, I'm up now. By the way, armor is cold."

"That's why ya shivered?" Wash asked.

"Why else?"

"Point taken." He shrugged.

"Now, can you three please get out of my room?" I asked.

"Oh. Yeah, sure." They filed out and closed the door.

I got into my armor and raced to the planning room. Late.

"You're late," the Director growled.

"Yeah yeah, I overslept." I muttered.

I brought up a list of the available people to help.

North Dakota
South Dakota
Maine
Wyominh
New York
Carolina, speaking for both of them.
Texas
Washington
Florida
California
Alaska
and me, Minnesota

"Team Alpha 1 will push. We need strong people. I vote Maine, Tex, Washington, and I. Objections?"

"No."

"Nope."

"Nada."

"Alright, Alpha 2, the guards for the pushers. North, Carolina, Wyoming, and Alaska." I looked around for any 'nos', but none came.

"Bravo, our escorts. Florida, California, York, and South. Two days is when we leave. Sound good?"

"Yeah." I heard them all say.

I looked at the Director. "I knew I made the right choice," He said.

I ignored that comment. "Tell everyone else and keep up the training."

"Dismissed?" York asked.

"Dismissed." I nodded.

I walked out first. I needed to find Tex. "Tex?" I peeked into the locker room. No answer. Typical.

"What do you need, Sota?" Her voice made me jump.

"Listen, I need to tell you something..."
