Cold War: Global Threat

Chapter 11 - Early Travel

We lay in her bed looking at the ceiling, while we shared the same tea, the two of us were only wearing pants:

"Wow... the last time I did that was in 40..." I said.

"My second time... the first time I was drunk, but I wasn't in the military yet." she said, then asking. "If I may ask, who did you have sex with for the first time?"

"Meer Kreide, she was Germaneighian, I was walking through a small town and I saw her, we started talking, we walked around and arrived at her house, she helped me with a back injury and... we let it go." I replied.

"What happened to her?" she asked.

"I prefer not to comment..." I replied.

"I'm sorry..." she said.

"I think... we shouldn't have done that... I mean, we were co-workers before, and now we're friends, we escalated a little bit more..." I said.

"..." she had no reaction.

"Sorry, I can't... I still..." I started to speak.

"You didn't get over it, I know, you should have spoken before..." she said.

"I'm sorry, but it's complicated." I said.

"All right, good night." she said, a little sadly.

"Good night... and don't let anyone know that we..." I said.

"Relax, this will just stay between us!" she exclaimed.

"Roger that, ma'am!" I exclaimed, as I put my shirt back on to get in the car and head home.

I kept thinking if I had done it right or not, really, we started getting closer just at that time and became friends, my intention was never to go to bed with her. I rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette, remembering Meer, the moments we spent together, I really couldn't get over her death, and I was afraid of loving someone again and seeing that person dead, it was supposed to be me in her place, she was innocent, and I was a military man, I was made to protect anyone even if it cost my life.

On a certain stretch of road, on a bridge, I rubbed my eyes and when I opened them, I just saw high beams in my face and they hit my car, and I fell off the bridge, blacking out with the impact of the car.

August 21, 1950, 2 days to start the attack | 8:21 am | cold and dry.

I woke up in the hospital, with a headache, I was apparently normal, then a doctor came into my room.

"What happened?" I asked confused.

"You were in a car accident and suffered a first-degree shoulder injury." answered the doctor.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"You may feel pain when you move your shoulder." he replied.

"Right..." I said.

"For guarantee you will have to stay here for 2 days." the doctor said.

He left the room, and spent some time, and Rainbow Dash entered the room, I was surprised by her presence, I thought she was still sad with me, because of what happened earlier:

"How are you?" she asked.

"I think I'm fine..." I replied to her.

"They say you fell off the bridge." she said.

"It was just an accident, but I don't feel any pain." I said.

"It seems that the attacks have already started in a 'small' way, but it will be massive in 2 days." she theorized.
