Operation Ruins

chapter 10

Bonny gives me a hug. She looks exhausted. It looks like someone threw her in a coffin and she crawled out after he left. Ow well. Either way she looks cute as ever.
I get on the elevator and go to my room. Sliding the key in a feeling grows in my gut. The quite tends to make me uneasy. It's nothing but it just annoys me. I go in.
There is a window that is rounds off at the top. A pinkish red couch faces to the right of the room. There are to potted plants either sides of the window. It looks grand.
I wonder if Susie is ok. She will make it I believe that much. My little squad all busted up and in the infirmary. Can't dwell on them. They are fine.
To the left there is a diner like kitchen. It can seat a total of six people. It has a stove mounted into the wall right in front and a knife holder to the left. Above is two double door cabinets. One contains bowls and plates. The other holds a ton of spices.
The walls are bare white. Ahead of the couch sits a TV it has an HD consol underneath it. A coffee table between everything with magazines and a remote beside it. The glass is so clean it looks like its resting in midair.
I walk past the diner running my fingers along it slowly beside.  There is a bathroom next to the bed room. Its between them both.
Inside the bedroom there is a queen size bed with velvet enough to swim in. Two thin pillows and two medium ones at the head rest. There are a pair of pants, a shirt, underwear, and socks neatly folded at the foot.  On both sides there is a night stand with a book that reads "the adventures of Tom Soyer" thats a hard back.
I grab a pair of shorts out of my bag, take the underwear off the bed and jump in the shower.
When you go in theres a mirror and sink right infront. The flooring is white tiles. A single light in the middle of the room.
I got a light full beard connected to my side burns with no mustache. I hate never grew one and Im happy I haven't. My face is covered in dirt and grime. My grey hair is all shaggy with brier balls stuck. Ill wash it off in the shower after I pick those out.
Getting out there's a knock at the door. I throw my towel on. Who could it be? The sun has set.
The person knocks on the door again. I open it
Its Susie. She looked as bad as me about fifteen minutes ago. You can barley notice that she is blonde because of the sute from the wreckage. It looks like she just got out of a coal mine. She has a pair of cloths and towl in her hands.
"They patched me up and put as much blood they could spare in me. They didn't have much there that my body can actually use." She says with an awkward face. "May I come in. Bonny said I can bunk with you because you said yes."
"Ow. Right come in." I move aside to let her pass. She takes in the and room.
"Where's the bathroom? I feel like hell."
"You sure look like it." I laughed. She punched me in the shoulder giggling a little.
"How ripped are you. Damn." She says checking me out. "Don't take it the wrong way. You are buff but Im not after you. No offense"
"Nun taken. Yur to young for me. Well. Just not my type. Lets leave it at that." I say going to closing the bathroom door to put my cloths on.
I come out. "Dinner will be ready soon. Spaghetti if you want."
"Thats fine. You dont have to make any bread." She says going in.
I open the bottom cabinet doors to find cans and what Im actually looking for. I pull out the box and sause. I rifle through the other for a couple of pots. Filling them the bathroom shower starts up. I fill one with hot water, then the other and turn the stove to three-sixty.
Susie comes out in short shorts and a tank top. She don't look as bad anymore. Rather shes healing or putting on make-up to hide her ruined skin I can't tell. "I needed that. Hows dinner?" She asks sittimg down in the middle chair.
"Almost done. A few more minutes." I say checking the noodles and turning off the sause. "Is it me or is your skin looking better?"
"I think it's doing better somehow. Scarey really. Atleast I stopped pealing." Su looks at her arms.
"I think its that. Al would be happy to see that your ok."
"Yea....on the the bright side we might be able to wake him up soon. The vault Bon put us on. She says there's only supposed to be feral ghouls down there." Susie says resting her elbow in ge table propping her head on her hand.
"Are you ok killing your own kind?"
"To be honest I have no more sympathy for the ferals anymore. They are to far gone to save. Its just time to put them down." Su says calmly.
I look at her. "Bonny wants us to capture a few for testing so dont kill them all." laughing a little.
"I won't. I was hoping to keep one as a pet."
Something struck me. "Ferals don't attack other ghouls. We could go in discize but what good would that do. We have to wear suits before you head in."
"No you dont. The chambers are clear from radiation now. They didn't install the vents so it got in and out within two hundred years." She says excitedly.
I turn off the oven. "Foods done I need to talk to Bon." Then I head over to turn on the TV. I click the contact list and push Professor Bonny.
It starts to ring. Afterca while she picks up.
"Yes? What do you need Tom?" Bonny asks a little loud so I turn down the volume.
I clear my throat. "Can you make some ghoul masks. I want to try something. Incognito."
"Ok. Ill have six masks ready before morning. I will write this down. What a good way to capture and be with ferals. I never thought of it. Thanks." She says happily and starts writing.
"Professor. Experiment 3-g-32-a is ready to be tested." A voice comes out of the background.
"Ok. I will be right there." She replies back. "Sorry I have to go. Bye."
The screen says call ended.
I turn back to Susie who has helped herself to a big bowl of spaghetti. She really coming down on it. By that shes shoveling it down.
I join sitting right beside her with a big plate myself. We haven't ate since breakfast.
After we wash our plates and brush we layed down.
Susie curled up under the covers facing me with her light off. "Tom. Im happy Im still here."
"Me too Su. Me too." I turn off my light.
