Chapter 9
We had to walk in a stealthy manner. It was a 10 kilometer walk from the EVAC CAMP to the orphanage, on any normal day that would take two to three hours by foot. But this is not a normal day. It's hell. We needed to avoid the main roads to get there. We had to walk alleyways and jump from one fence to another. It was a good thing that all of the civilians were already evacuated. We'd look like fools barging from one house after another.
"How many kilometers more?" Noelle asked, looking from her shoulder to me. She then looked at her watch, "the last plane is about to leave in thirty minutes."
Queencie was behind me looking at her tablet. "We'll be there in an hour if you stop whining, Princess." She muttered under her breath.
I heard Noelle making a huffing sound, "Whatever you midget." she muttered enough for everyone to hear. These two had been bickering since we started walking, so, I gave up mothering them. I just let them do their thing.
