It was nighttime when the soldiers arrived in Bucharest . They found the capital defended by large concrete walls.
Sentinel: OPEN THE WALL GATES , THEY ARE SURVIVORS
Istrati: Well, that's a nice welcome, Dima, park the truck here , you are coming with us, EVERYONE , RALLY UP . There are 2 americans waiting for us at the airport . One called Baker and Hartsock. They will lead us into the states , there we will let the engineers do their job and we will be reassigned to further tasks. Understood ?
Everyone: Yes, sir
Kathleen (yawns) : Do we get to sleep now ?
Bogdan(holding cup of coffee): You maybe, I gotta have luck to do that.
Miller: So , how's the night shift ?
Istrati: The Young Corps members get to sleep tonight . Miller and Dima will come with me on meeting the Americans.
Bogdan: Thanks god.
Kathleen: What a bless.
Val: Well, I have to.
Alexei: But I'm not tired at all.
Bogdan: Me either , but I will be in the morning
A random man comes .
Stranger: Are you from the Order ?
Bogdan: Yes , from the Young Corps , why?
Stranger: Sgt. Istrati asked me to lead to the barracks. You are divided separately. He specified Alexei with Val and Bogdan with ... the strange thing that follows you.
Bogdan and Kathleen walked up to the barracks but they were surprised when they arrived.
Bogdan: There is only one bed for two persons.
They looked at each other .
Bogdan (barely holding it's body in the rifle) : I slept on the floor before , I can do it again, actually , you know what , I ain't sleeping tonight , I'll help my dad with the airport , or defend the engineers.
Kathleen: I don't mind sharing the bed.
Bogdan (a bit nervous) : Umm, what ?
Kathleen: You are not going anywhere, you fought enough today, you are sleeping with me if you have to.
Bogdan: Okay... but, I really need to help dad move the...
Kathleen: Hell no , your not. We are both tired , there is only one bed , we both stay there and that's it.
Bogdan: Fine, ok then, in fact I don't remember the last time I slept with someone.
The next morning
Hour 0700
Bogdan( yawns ): Damn, I slept good.
He realised Kathleen was hugging him while sleeping.
Bogdan: Ahhmmm... *whispers* I knew this is a bad idea .
Kathleen (sleep talking) : Mhm, yeah, I like him why not... that... nah
Bogdan(thinking): FUCK , what the hell is this, she's talking while sleeping, I used to that as well, DAMNIT, if I move , I will wake her up. If I pretend to sleep till she wakes up, I can get out of this easily. But I need to go to the bathroom.
Kathleen (slowly wakes up) : Morning!
Realises she was hugging Bogdan.
Kathleen (awkwardly retreats): I'm sorry , I'm really sorry.
Bogdan: No , no, it's ok, I understand ,you were tired , that much that you were sleet talking.
Kathleen ( hugging her tail scared): Really , what did I said ?
Bogdan( awkwardly replies) : Ummm , uh... you were ...uhh... swearing some... uhhh... MUTANTS, YEAH.
Kathleen (awkwardly replies): I'm so sorry you had to hear all that.
Bogdan: No, it's fine , I heard worse, let's uhh, not talk about this anymore, ok ?
Kathleen: Ok.
They were leaving the barracks.
Bogdan: Oh, I should have mentioned... last night... I never slept that good in my life
Kathleen: Actually ... the same...
They both looked at each other and said : "let's get the hell outta here".
