Ef flinched as he felt a shudder on his left shoulder. Spontaneously grabbing a gun from his waist and pointing the barrel at it, Hamish seemed surprised to get a response he did not expect.
“Se-good morning, Capt” greet Hamish stammering. Slowly he moved away from the muzzle of Ef's weapon.
“Good morning,” reply Ef.
From behind Hamish, Lin and Maya also appear anxious about Ef's recent actions. He remembered his conversation with Lin last night.
“Sory, I often reflex if I just wake up.” Ef pulled his gun and slipped it back to his waist.
A torrent of orange light had begun to appear from the east, the sun had already begun to rise. Ef glanced at his watch, at seven in the morning.
Seven o'clock, but it's still like dawn. It is true that we are on the west side of Africa. Tropical and western regions. That means there are only 3 possibilities, Cameroon, Congo or Gabon.
“Lah, she's daydreaming instead.”
“I'm guessing our position. At seven in the morning but it was still dark. It indicates we are on the west coast.”
“Then can we get help after knowing our position.”
“Not yet, but this information will be very useful when we can communicate out later.”
“What is our activity today, capt?”
“We workout. But before that we better take a shower and breakfast first.”
The four of them headed for the hill behind the camp. Lin and Maya bathe first, Ef and Hamish guard from above.
After an hour, Maya and Lin standing by the riverbank were already fully dressed.
“You guys come down, we're done!” scream Maya.
“We stay waiting here,” Maya continues as Ef and Hamish descend.
“You want to peek at us shower huh?”
“Don't let me see you, Hamish. Your stomach is distended!”
Ef does not care about the little quarrel of Hamish and Maya, they are like cats and rats from the beginning. He undressed and prepared to throw himself into the river.
“Hey, what body is wood? Muscles all!” Ef turned around and turned towards the hysterical Maya, the girl's gaze as if to strip her of her. Lin was also paying attention, but his gaze was different, his eyes looked sad and pityed, in stark contrast to Maya's sparkling eyes. When Lin realized that Ef was also looking at him, he immediately turned his face away.
It was not until five minutes that Ef and Hamish had gone out of the river and put on their clothes again. They walked to camp. Hamish at the front, followed by Maya. Lin and Ef were behind.
“Does it all still hurt?” said Lin slowly.
“You mean?”
“Bekas. I see there are so many scars.”
“Oh that, no more pain now. All has healed, only the marks can not be lost.”
“You lead a hard life.” That was the last sentence Lin said, after which he was silent, even after they finished breakfast.
By the time it was nine, Ef had already finished putting up wooden milestones at some point with the distance he had set. Time for practice.
“Do you have any martial arts learning experience?” the question Ef was answered with the three members.
“Anybody ever used a weapon?” again they compactly replied with a skirt.
“Okay, we will learn the basic techniques of using weapons.” Ef gave each of his three members a pistol. Certainly in an empty condition.
“Ugh, heavy once!” lamented Maya.
“Will be heavier when loaded with ammunition. Now raise your gun, and point it forward. Navigate to that wooden milestone.”
Hamish can point his gun easily, Lin and Maya seem troubled. Their hands were shaking withstanding the weight at the end of their hands.
“This is called Visir, which is on the front.the rear viewfinder is called pejera. You should be able to see the front visor of the pejera gap and aim towards the target.” Ef pointed to the V-shaped iron at the top base of the gun and the small iron bulge at the end of the bistol. “If it's straight, press the tiger.”
Hamish can do it easily, even he repeated back and forth in various styles. Maya was able to do so after several experiments. Lin who still looked troubled.
“Begini.”
Ef stood behind Lin, clasped the gun in the girl's hand and pointed the weapon they were holding at the target. With a very close distance, it was certain that they could smell the scent of the person who was on the side.
“Good, can you repeat yourself?”
EF turned his head towards Lin, almost only their cheeks intersected. Being able to see clearly that Lin's face was flushed red, he answered Ef's question with a nod.
“Note, now lower your weapons. And repeat the movement earlier faster!”
An hour had passed, the three team members were already fluent in how to aim at the target. Time to get into the second material.
“According to you, with your current abilities. How do you make your shots hit the target? Hamish, what do you think?”
“I am aware of my ability, the best way is to shoot as many shots as possible. There will definitely be something to come out of so many experiments.”
“Maya?”
“I agree with Hamish.”
“Lin?”
Lin glanced towards Ef, when their gaze met he immediately turned his face and looked at the target.
“In my opinion, with our ammunition limited, I will train harder so that later my shots will not be in vain. One bullet for one enemy.”
The three team members then kept quiet, waiting for their teacher's response.
“Your answer was not to determine right and wrong. But I want to see each of your characters. Hamish and Maya are suitable for combatants, using assault rifles or SMGs. Lin would be more suited to a snub weapon. I'll train you to be a Sniper!”
“Now we are training with ammo!”
The sun has crossed the middle line, it's two o'clock in the afternoon. Eph finished their training and rested.
“Capt!” since this morning Hamish has always called Ef that name.
“Ya!”
“After lunch, you take a short nap. You look very tired.”
“Thank you, I accept your offer.”
After lunch, Ef leaned against the camp wall, and closed his eyes.
***
Lin was still sitting on the side of the wall next to Maya, they were watching Ef who was sleeping.
“She's your boyfriend?” ask Maya.
“Not, we just got to know also.”
“He's quite handsome, it seems he's also strong. Are you sure you don't like it?”
“I can't like men easily,” please Lin.
“You see, just sleeping he looks so charming. Very different from Hamish who distended.” Maya still looked at the sleeping man in front of them.
“If you like him, just approach him,”
“You sure you're not jealous?”
“No, why should I be jealous. He's not who I am.”
“But you guys seem very suitable. He also cares so much about you.”
“He did it all because of duty, you remember my story right. He hired my father to take care of me. No more.”
“You sure?”
This time Lin did not reply, he just looked towards his bodyguard who looked so tired. True Maya said, his face was quite handsome for people who worked as rude as him. A smile was drawn on Lin's lips.
“I see you. You smile to yourself while looking at him.”
Lin, who was caught by Maya, became misbehaved, again blushing her face.
