Second Try In The Forest Part 1

Lu Bu froze up as he thought of how George could do it, "Uhm, corporal, could this be your power?" He asked.

"No. I am not a hunter. I just have ways. Now, are you gonna test me or what?" George asked, seemingly angry and impatient.

"Yes, corporal." Lu Bu replied while nodding his head.

George quickly snatched the stone tablet and waited for ten seconds exactly before throwing it back to Lu Bu, "See? I am not a hunter." He said, sounding a little bit angry.

Lu Bu, seeing that George was getting angry at him, stepped towards the door before looking back at him again, "Can I test you manually?" He asked while looking slightly worried about the situation.

George then extended his arm, "Fine, do what you will."

Lu Bu nodded and walked closer to George, and as he touched his hands, he closed his eyes before sighing, "Sorry for wasting your time corporal." He uttered with a disappointed tone before turning to Major Ivan, "Major, I will excuse myself." He added before walking out of the room as fast as possible.

The Major then looked at George with a confused look on his face, "Corporal, do you have any grudge against him? Why were you so rude to him?"

Upon hearing what the Major said, George replied with a shush gesture before pointing at the door and then pointing at his ear.

The Major raised an eyebrow before looking at the door, and only then did he understand what George was trying to say. He then nodded, and George crept to the door, peeking out before closing it.

"No one's listening," George said, assuring that no one was outside.

"Yeah, I can see that. Now would you mind telling me what is going on?" Major Ivan said, seeming annoyed with George's weird behaviour.

"Sir, do you know how I got all this information? Even before you, even before that UN bastard!" George said while sweat started drenching his clothing.

"I was gonna ask you that, Corporal. And you better answer that, or else you are looking for trouble, son." The Major replied.

"It's my power. I am a hunter! But I did something to block them from detecting it. I get certain important information. And if you would just listen, both of us will live." George lied about half of what he just said except the last sentence, but it was just enough to make the whole thing look true.

The Major stared at George with sharp eyes, "Corporal, do you know, withholding pieces of information like this is a violation of the UN and Internation Hunter Administration policy?" He asked.

"Sir... With all due respect, the only policy I follow is the USA's policy." George replied while gulping, fearful that the major would inform the higher-ups.

But instead, the Major smiled and patted his shoulders, "You're goddamn right, unlike some braindead senators and politicians." He said before walking out of the room, "We'll talk further in my car, who knows, maybe this place is bugged?" He added.

As they entered the truck, the Major started the engine and drove them out of the hospital, "Okay corporal, I'm listening... What do you want to tell me?" The Major asked.

"We have to arm ourselves, sir." George said while pointing at the back of the truck, "I know you keep a lot of weapons and pieces of equipment at the back. We are going to use them all." He added.

Major Ivan stopped the car before looking at George, "What the hell are you trying to tell me, corporal?" He asked.

"Sir! Lu Bu, he is gonna send a team of 9 elite men to kill us. And they will be following us, we were gonna go through a field in Florida, and they will kill us there." George said, hoping that the Major would believe what he said.

"Yeah... we were gonna go through Florida... I know what to do, Corporal. But while I drive, you pack the weapons and arm yourself." The Major said this as he changed his driving direction.

"You trust me?" George asked as he couldn't believe that the Major believed him.

"Corporal, I have met a lot of men in my life. I know when they are lying or not, I was bred for this." While concentrating on the road, the Major said.

George smiled and nodded before arming himself.

As he sat back in front, he realized that the Major had just driven out of the state of Florida to Georgia, "Sir, if I may ask, where are we going?" He asked.

"Chattahoochee National Forest, Corporal. That should give me an edge in fighting against nine men, considering if you are good enough." While looking at George, the Major said.

"Sir, I have no experience fighting in the forest," George said while sweating in fear.

"Yeah, I know. Don't worry, I'll train you, step by step. Just follow my orders and we will be fine." Major Ivan Sharp said.

"Thank you, sir. I never had to experience this. We were only made to fight against monsters, seldom against humans. I never thought I will have to fight against a fellow human being, never thought I had to kill one." George explained.

"I thought those years were over too... But from what you just said, it seems that we are being betrayed by the UN. I knew they were sly bastards, but I didn't know they were traitors to humanity." Major Ivan Sharp said while looking extremely dissatisfied while tightening his grip on the steering wheel.

"I see the cars that are following us. 3 of them. You won't be able to see them, they are well hidden. But from now on, you will have to. Try finding them while only using your side of the side view mirror." The Major added.

George nodded while looking at the side view mirror, and he could only catch a glimpse of the three cars. "I see them. Although, I only see the top of the cars, one Rolls-Royce, two military trucks." He said.

"Good job. Now take over. I will arm myself now." While George took over driving the truck, the Major went to the back and began putting on his vest and storing his weapons.
