It had only been fifteen minutes before Jake offered a hand to help me stand, "Time to move, we've wasted a lot more time than I'm comfortable with" He said as I stood up and brushed myself off.
"Alright. But how much longer do we need to run?" I asked rubbing my sore arm, it had begun to hurt after I put the gun down and I never asked how heavy it was. At least, not until I picked it up again. It was heavy, but not too heavy that I couldn't hold it for long. "Ny... Bny... Ebony!" Jake shouted and I flinched. He sighed "Did you hear a word I said?" He asked, and I shook my head.
"Sorry, I'll try and pay more attention" I said with a determined look, fixing my grip on my weapon. He rubbed his head and nodded
"Alright, I'll say this one more time. We have at least four miles left before we reach the border of the city. Then we'll camp for the night and leave to catch our ride to the base tomorrow morning" He said looking around warily
"The Flare's know our scent now so we need to run silently. And quickly, you all know the deal for when you get caught." He said his eyes hardening at the mention of it. They all nodded while I raised an eyebrow
"What do you do when you get caught?" I asked chills running up my spine at the memory of minutes before. Jake looked at me and his eyes softened, almost as if he was pitying me. He bit the inside of his lip and sighed "The rule is, fight. Fight until your last breath. Bring all the attention to yourself and make sure your comrades have time to escape, even if..." He paused looking away before finishing his sentence
"Even if you don't survive"
I took in a sharp breath and gripped my weapon at his look, he'd probably seen so many of his allies and friends die due to that code...
After a few agonizing minutes of silence I nodded " Got it. We should be moving" I said changing the subject as he snapped awake. He cleared his throat and looked at the others with a determined glare
"Alright let's move"

Toodles my loves!
