3 days later, Fliqpy was feeling a bit ill, but that was the routine for him. He voluntarily went back to training, after they rebuilded their camp, a few miles down south from where they were attacked. He was just in the middle of his run, when his brother caught up to him.

.....

"Hey bro ! Are you okay ? I mean, since the attack you look more tired than before. Even if you came back to training you always look more down than before by the end. "

Flippy was smiling but his eyes were showing a bit of hidden concern. His brother was a bit of a proud man and he just wouldn't show his weaknesses, but sometimes it could lead to his downfall. So when Flippy saw him being a bit less energetic after that last accident, he couldn't help but feel worried.

..........

"Don't worry, I'm just fine bro."

Fliqpy replied. Obviously his body was affected by the injury, and he just couldn't forget about the pile of corpses  he saw the other day, but he knew he had to suck it up and carry on. This was their life after months of training, and he liked it in a way. At least he could wear himself out during training.
To prove himself, he sped up to the front of the group and ahead of his brother, while quickly adding,

"Watch out with that arm of yours."

.......

Flippy chuckled. Fliqpy just liked to do that sort of thing. And he knew that Flippy wasn't the best at long run. He was more of a sprinter. 
Even with this demonstration, he couldn't shake off the feeling of something being wrong with his brother. He was feeling it in his guts.
At the end of the run, a panting Fippy came to his bro to challenged him at a gun training between two big breaths and checking discretely on him at the same time.

..........

The two headed for the shooting area and prepared themselves for the shooting. They decided on seeing who scores more points in three shots to three boards each at a different distance. Flippy went first, and Fliqpy knew the pain in his shoulder made it hard for him to hold the rifle. Similarly for fliqpy, it made it hard for him to keep his posture after the chest injury, and keep his mind focused. They were done and they went to check the scores. To their surprise it was a perfect draw.

"I'm still better than you."

Fliqpy teased as he walked off.

"Oh, you wish."

Flippy added. Neither of them really was any better when it came to shooting. But they kept on arguing either way. When someone called them over to the headquarters. Well, they must have a new mission. Fliqpy had a bad feeling about it...

.........

Flippy entered the tent first. He was suprised to see higher ranks. He just thought they will see their coporal. After all, they are just privates.
Flippy didn't know how to act. He just stood there, next to his brother, the gazes of the people in the tent on them. He was intimidated. Those peoples were on the battlefield for a longer time than them, and they must have seen more attacks, maybe some more deadly. When he glanced at his brother, he found him straight up with a calm and confident face.

..........

Fliqpy was confused but decided to keep his cool and stood straight at attention, keeping his emotions on a short leash. He knew straight off the bat this was more than any normal mission. The ranks of the people surrounding them were too high for it to be a normal one.

"Okay, you probably already know it, but you will have an important mission to do, both of you." one of the officers started.

" We want you to go back to where our old camp was and search through the bodies of the enemies that are still there. I doubt they'd remove them, it would cost them too much time. All we need is intel. You'll depart tomorrow, from the landing zone at 7am."
