Colonel replied furiously..

"He is the best soldier we have got."

"Oh yeah what's his id."

"Sleeping shadow."

Hearing that name that officer had nothing to complain about. Colonel Mark loved Justin as his own son so seeing him in that bad shape made him emotional.

After sometime Jeshia woke up from her slumber. At the moment she woke up she begin freaking out, without telling anyone she went out of her cabin. She started searching for Justin. Seeing her a nurse said...

"Mam please return to you cabin, it's not safe for you to be walking with those injuries."

She ran, she finally found colonel Mark. She said..

"Sir where's my brother, he is alive isn't he?!. Tell me I don't know what to do please just let me see him."

Hearing her colonel mark watny said..

"Jeshia just calm down, he is alive. He is in the surgery room. You are injured too so you must calm down."

"How can I relax when he is in that shape just for me."

"He risked his life for you so you must remain healthy or his efforts would be in vain."

Hearing that Jeshia relaxed. Both of them sat down in the waiting area. Suddenly many soldiers entered the facility and came near colonel...

"Sir, you've requested for an emergency guarding squad.?"

"Yes major."

"Sir reporting for duty."

"Your number on objective is securing this facility. Specially this cabin, I want this man to be guarded until he had made his recovery. He is very valuable so he must survive this."

The surgery was successful. The doctors retuned him to his cabin. Colonel went near the doctors to hear about his condition.

The doctors were among the higher-ups because when they heard about Justin's condition the normal doctors were replaced at the last moment by them. 5 Doctors attended the surgery.

Colonel came. Seeing him one of them replied..

"He is now stable, though he is a little low on blood I think he would hopefully recover very soon."

Jeshia asked if she could go to see him.

Colonel replied...

"I don't think it's a good idea to see him right now. He is sleeping after sometimes visitors would be allowed."

"I have no idea what to do now. I can't call my mother or father because they don't know about this profession of Justin's."

"Don't warry I am here, I'll make sure he makes a healthy recovery."

They waited for sometime. The nurse retuned and said...

"Sir, I need her to return to the cabin she is very sick."

"Jeshia, she isn't wrong you know."

"I don't wanna return, I want to be by my big brothers side."

"Ok then I'll change your cabin. How about the cabin next to Justin's cabin."

"Yeah, that would do it!."

After the procedures Jeshia retuned to the cabin and the nurse went inside to do some required check-ups.

2 day had passed colonel didn't return to his house. He was on duty he was doing his job as a colonel and also checking on Justin frequently. Even if the highest ranking officers were guarding Justin mark could not be at ease.
