Everyone was gathered around a truck . Near , there was a table with a map

Istrati: Look who decided to join us.

Bogdan: Cut it, what's the game plan ?

Istrati : You know it already , why do I need to tell to you again

Bogdan : Because I have a feeling something will happen.

In that second , a woman of the same age of Bogdan came to his back

Val: Morning , dummy

Bogdan: Val, what the hell , you scared me

Bogdan: Like hell, listen here , damnit I need a rifle and I need it NOW

Istrati: Oh, hehe, Bogdan , ummm, she is coming with us

Bogdan: WHAT , HELL NO SHE ISN'T !!!!

Val: Really , how do you know I won't?

Bogdan : Because...

Istrati: Bogdan give her your Beretta

Bogdan: WHAT, WHY?

Istrati: She learned from YOU how to shoot and she prove that she's good in combat , therefore she's with us

Bogdan: Take your goddamn weapon and leave

Alexei: Well this isn't looking good

Kathleen: Who is she ?

Bogdan: She's Valentina , an old friend and a pain in the ass most recently. Desperately wanted to learn fighting so she ain't become a culture keeper

Istrati: EVERYONE IN THE TRUCK ,NOW

Bogdan: YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME THE PLAN!

Istrati: WE GET TO THE LAST AIRPORT , WE MEET 2 AMERICANS , THEN WE LEAVE

Bogdan: THAT'S BETTER

Val: I need ammo for this thing

Bogdan: *sigh* Take this and cut it .

Kathleen: I don't even know what is happening anymore

Bogdan: We are going to Bucharest , we meet some guides , then we head to the America to solve the water filtration problem

Kathleen: When ?

Bogdan: From now in a few days , now hop in.

The truck left the base in a few seconds. After 2 hours , not far from Bucharest the truck stoped

Kathleen: We are here ?

Val: Heh, I like how nobody saw me in the vents when you were investigating her

Miller: You were there all the time?

Bogdan: Jesus Christ , you know what , let's just bail out

Istrati: PERSONAL WITH MUFFLER SILENCERS AND BAYONETS ENCOUNTER THE MUTANTS

Kathleen: What the hell is going on

Bogdan : We are going thru a section in between "The Wasteland" .

Kathleen: What is that supposed to be?

Bogdan: The nukes used during the war affected high areas of territory so badly that only radioactive dirt was left , the single creatures that don't seem to be affected by that are the simple mutants that are crowding this area . The sound of the truck is alerting them directly to us . So we need to push the truck and kill them with a silent approach.

Kathleen: Can I be of any help?

Bogdan: Of course ! Push the damn truck with your fluffy arms , kitty!

While Bogdan was shooting the mutants , Val was slaying them with the bayonet.

Istrati: ALRIGHT , WE ARE GOOD , EVERYONE IN!

Miller: Where is Val ?

She was overwhelmed by mutants .

Bogdan: HOLD ON , GODDAMNINT

Bogdan was charging thru the closest mutant to Val

Val: Your late to the tea party !

Bogdan: I thought I was late to your funeral.

They were both slaying mutants

Istrati: Truck's LEAVING !

Bogdan: Val, RUN

Val got in but Bogdan was still running.

Istrati: BOGDAN!

Bogdan : DAD!

Kathleen grabbed the side of the truck and leaned over .

Kathleen: GRAB MY HAND , NOW

Bogdan: *grabs hand*

Kathleen: * pulls him into truck*

Bogdan(irregular breathing): Damn , you have strength there , how did you got that strength , you don't look that strong at all

Kathleen: I've always been like this, what do you mean

Miller: Even I don't have that strength, and I won "the Muscle man's knife"

"Istrati will remember the help Kathleen gave to his son"
