Forty three

“The group is approaching.” Stanley whispers to Curtis who was sent to accompany him since he was the best choice as the man had gotten on both Rima and Penn nerves already. “Send the signal.” 

Curtis looked at the flare in his hand and then looked back at Stanley and the look at the group of soldiers who were coming. “Is there no other way than to kill them all?” Curtis asked instead as Stanley's head whipped around from watching the people to staring wide mouthed at Curtis for his words. 

“Honestly? You really want to have this discussion here when it has already been finalized and we are supposed to start doing what we are told? What is wrong with you?” Stanley questions. 

“Better late than never right?” Curtis laughed humorlessly, he looked at Stanley’s face who was glaring at him with a dark intent on his face, Curtis flinched back at the look.
