I lean in the room, the Commander covers the stress on his face. I walk in and he composes himself, "Who are you, Kraut?" I sneer, "Markus." "What's the problem now?" I knock on my heart, "I've got a solution." "For what?" I smirk, "Separate families and they will reveal themselves." "Not happening." I shake my head, "I know it's hard, but you have no choice." He pulls his gun on me, "Wrong! I am your superior!" "The only way to keep order is understand your enemy. We must rush before they can kill the civilians."

He puts his gun down, "Get out of my sight!" I nod and wait outside the tent, he rubs his forehead and picks up the mic, "Tell them to separate families-" I hope I did the right thing.

Sunny and Nell sit and talk with the survivors and soldiers march in. They grab people and try to drag them out gates. Sunny marches towards them and I pull her back by her shirt, "It's a trap." About half of the people charge at the soldiers and they shoot at the slightest movement.

A soldier marches up and grabs her. It IS a trap, right? They drag her and put her in a line with the others. *We're gonna kill them. I'm sorry.* They all drag them out and the gates start closing. I tense up, but nothing happens. They're gonna kill her! C'mon! Work damn it! The gates shut and gunshots go off.

I yell and charge at the thick gate. The bullets fly into me and I punch forward. Metal bits tear off and the gates fly open. The soldiers drag the people behind another gate. Sunny reaches out to me and soldiers block my way. Fuck! Now I've done it!
