Re: Command
"Thank you, sweet Mary, for getting some humanity into our group", Don whispers silently as Gallin arrives to help with the Pole.
"Really not very talkative, this lad. But we'd rather take him with us, otherwise he'll talk to anyone he meets about what we are up to, and what equipment we are having, along with what we look like"
Don gets onto his knees, with a smile. Speaking in English, with a Scottish accent he stretches his right hand towards Gallin.
"Cináed. Cináed Donnachaidh. A pleasure to meet you. Everyone here calls me Don, so I guess you can too. Even if the other's actually hasn't asked."
Don gets on his feet, leaving the Pole in the care of Gallin for a while.
"What are the other lads in your group like? The men around here are rather tight-up, military types. Except for Tanya over there, she is rather nice, and with a nice body as well..."
"I guess we should load all the gear in the car. We have a bunch of horses, a couple of hundred meters away from here, but I don't think we have anything to pack the things in though. On the other hand, with some rope I guess we could get a horse to carry most of it. I hate horses myself, so I would prefer going in the car. I can even drive, if need be. Even though I have mostly travelled in the back of limos the last couple of years, hehe."
Don walks over to the collected things, and exchanges his AK-74 for a smaller gun and some ammo.
" 'ey, Mr Nelson. Shouldn't we get moving? If there is anyone that has heard this, or if one of the lads that left into the wheat returns to their base, I guess we will have a lot of Poles coming up on us. The faster we move out, the better. Soon we should get us all some decent food. There is a lot of food in the equipment here!"
After a quick stroll around the UAZ, Don sees the two wounded men in the car. Probably this will make it rather hard to load everything onto the car.
" 'ey, Tanya-baby. Should you get over and get the horses, or do you need some help by a man without his tartan-kilt?"
Don puts on his biggest smile.
