Alex's P.O.V
"Fall in!"
It had been almost two weeks since Nate found out about my secret. Everything went back to normal after he got used to the idea of me being a part of the Magix.
Fayola still hadn't tried to contact me and I was still on edge from the attack. The last two weeks had been too quiet. But the fact that Fayola hadn't contacted me yet meant there was still someone watching the camp.
Today we were all getting new schedules for the new defence plan Nate had.
"Your assignments for today! Bunkers 1, 2, 4 and 5 on frontline duty for first shift and Bunkers 7, 8, 9, 12 on second shift. Bunkers 3, 6, 10 and 11 on forest patrol for first shift and Bunkers 13, 14, 15 and 16 for second shift.", Ben announces, as we all gathered that morning.
"This is going to be the system for some time and if it works we'll stick with it. If not, we'll change it. But I expect you all to give me a 110%. We can't be caught off guard again. Understood?", Nate says, his loud voice carrying clearly through the clearing.
"Yes General!", All of us echo.
"Good. Now Bunker 17 shall be divided among those already on shifts as you all know. And there will also be some individual assignments. Davidson and Miller will be handing out individuals assignments. And the Bunkers on the second shift go get some rest.", He says, his tone crisp and to the point.
"You're Dismissed!", Ben says after Nate is done.
I was about to head back to Bunker 17 when I hear my name being called out.
"Harlow!"
"Yes Colonel?", I respond seeing Ben call me.
"You're with me and Moore for the individual assignment. Go get him and meet me at the Jeep in 10.", He said nodding to me.
"Yes Colonel!", I say saluting, and going off to find George.
I check the Bunker and find him talking to Oliver and Jackson.
"Hey George! You're with me and Colonel for one of the individual assignments. We got to be ready in 10.", I say standing in the doorway.
"Nice! I've been waiting for an individual assignment with The Colonel!", He says smiling and moving to his bed to get his jacket.
"Why is that?", I ask moving to my own bed to get my jacket.
"I forget she's new sometimes.", Oliver says laughing.
"Why?", I ask confused.
"Well for starters you know how George loves tinkering with all his tools whenever he can?", Jackson asks.
"Yeah I have noticed the tinkering.", I say smiling at George whose cheeks were turning a tint of pink.
"Well Colonel Miller is known as the master tinkerer. His grandfather was the one that figured a way to get the walkie talkies working again.", George continues.
