Everything is decorated nicely and everyone is celebrating: ''Congratulation, Ace!'', everyone cheers loudly.

Ace is confused: ''Congratulation? For what?''. Myra taps on his shoulder and says with a big smile on her face: ''For becoming our new member! From this day on you are a member of Camp-19!'' Ace is so overwhelmed that he doesn't know what to say. He just smiles. It was a long time ago since he felt this feeling of being home. Ray and Leila from the clothes maker group and craftsman group are yelling: ''Ace! Come have a drink with us! We have to celebrate!'' Tobi says: ''Why does he get special treatment? I want a drink too!''. Ace laughs and says: ''Hurry! If you don't come then I will drink everything on my own. ''Tobi and Ace run to Ray and Leila and everyone gathers around Ace to celebrate.

Minutes later Myra also joins: ''And? Did you guess what was written in the letter, you idiot?'' Ace laughs: ''Yeah, I guess so. I am very grateful.'' Myra replies: ''You should be. If Tobi didn't insist to let you stay here longer then I would have already kicked your a*s out of this camp.'' Ace isn't surprised. That's just how she is. A strong and strict leader but also kind. Myra asks him: ''You know I always wondered what happened to Leon. Since he was your leader, do you have any information?'' Ace seems confused: ''I don't understand. What do you mean what happened to him?'' Myra looks at the sky and says: ''He wasn't always that cold-hearted. When I met him he was the opposite. So I wonder what changed him so much.'' Ace replies: ''Oh you mean this. Well, a year ago his little sister got killed by some members from another camp. I think that's when he changed.'' She seems sad: ''She died? What a shame. She was such a good child. Thank you for telling me. So! Enough with this sentimental bullsh*t. Let's drink!'' But Ace is worried and his thoughts seem to be somewhere else: ''Myra? Can I tell you something in private where we don't get disturbed?'' Myra is confused: ''What now? Can't it wait?'' Ace says in a serious voice: ''It is very important. Please.'' She is annoyed but she wants to hear what he has to say.

20 Minutes later Myra and Ace are back and Tobi who is drunk mumbles: ''Heeyyy, we wanted to drink together! Where have you been?'' Ace helps Tobi to not fall and says: ''Sorry, another time.''

3 weeks later Leon the leader from Camp-8 and some of his members visit Camp-19 unannounced. Myra says: ''Leon? What are you doing here?'' Leon answers: ''Can't I visit my friends?'' She replies: ''Sure, of course. I am just a little bit surprised.'' He says: ''We just wanted to visit Camp-15 for some plans we have to discuss and your camp is close to them, so I thought why not visit an old friend?'' Myra smiles: ''Oh, that's nice of you. You all must be exhausted. What about some food?'' Leon smiles back: ''Thank you.''

After everyone ate and drank it was already night and everyone went to sleep. Hours later Myra smells something that smells like smoke. She wakes up and sees fire. Her camp was on fire and the flames are about to spread everywhere. Myra screams: ''Everyone wake up! There is fire! Group 3 takes care of the children and older people! Group 2 bring as much water as you can! And the others help where they can! Now move your a*ses!''

30 minutes later the fire is extinguished. Myra and the others are exhausted but when Myra was about to check on Camp-8 she feels a dull object on her back. She turns around and sees Leon who is holding a gun at her back. He smirks and says: ''Please hand your weapons over that you have on you.'' Myra answers: ''You really are the definition of a dumbass. Do you really think you can betray me without any consequences? You damn traitor!'' Leon laughs: '' Yeah? Well, we will see. Now hand your weapons over.'' Myra gives him the gun and the knives she has on her and he leads her to the other members of her camp who are tied up. The other members of Camp-8 have attacked them from the back and are now are controlling Camp-19. Leon also ties Myra up and goes to Ace who is surprisingly not tied up. Leon smiles at him and says: ''Good job! It was a good idea to sent you to them!'' Myra says in a confused voice: ''What is happening? What do you mean?'' Leon laughs evilly: ''You should see your face! Ace tell her! Tell her about the plan!'' Ace says with an emotionless expression on his face: ''I am a spy. I was sent here to give Leon informations about the camp. That's why I am here.'' Myra is shocked and got quickly angry: ''You basta*d! After everything we did for you? This is your way to say thank you? I see. I was right all along and should have kicked you out of the camp.'' Leon smirks: ''Yeah, you should have. Too bad it's too late.'' Myra asks: ''But why? Why betray us Leon? We are allied. How do you profit out of this?'' Leon answers: ''I am now allied with Camp-10. That's why.'' Myra is confused: ''With Taylor? I would have never thought that you would be the type to want to work under someone else. If you are allied with him then you know that he wants to have every camp under his control. Means also you.'' Leon smirks again and goes closer to Myra and whispers in her ear: ''I know that. That's why I am going to kill him. But of course, after all the work is done. Poor little Myra. I can't imagine how you feel right now. I almost feel sorry for you.'' Myra has enough and gives him a head bump. He fells and is angry now: ''You little...!'' When he was about to hit Myra he felt something sharp in his back. It was Ace who stabbed him with a knife.

Myra whistles a signal and immediately the camp is surrounded by members of Camp-5. They are the reinforcement and attacks the members of Camp-8. Myra laughs loudly: ''See! I told you you will regret it you dumba*s! You should see your face! I almost feel sorry for you!'' Leon is confused: ''But why Ace?'' Ace answers: ''I changed my mind. That's why. I already did 3 weeks ago and told Myra about your plan. She is a better leader then you can ever be.'' Leon falls to the ground and says with his last remaining strength: ''I see. I just wanted to create a better camp. One where no one has to die. Like my little sister did. But I guess this was just a dream. Well, in the end I can see her now again.'' While saying his last words, a teardrop flows his face down. Ace just looks at him and says nothing.

Ace unties the others. Myra stands up and says: ''Good job. I know it wasn't easy for you.'' Before he could respond to her, he hears a not familiar female voice: ''Myra! Long time no see!'' It was the leader of Camp-5, Lucy. Myra is happy to see her: ''Lucy! Thank you for your help.'' Lucy response: ''I have to thank you! I never liked him and was happy when you sent me the letter, that he will betray you and that you need reinforcements.'' Myra laughs: ''You haven't changed at all!'' But her mood quickly changes and she asks in a murderous voice: ''And what should we do with the other members of Camp-8? Should we kill them?'' Lucy smiles and says: ''Let's see...''
