Herbert knew it was just a short guiding how to use there equipment but it felt like hours for him and when it came to shooting he had the worst score out of the squad but Herbert thought that it wasn't that bad because he just wanted to translate for the "real" soldiers. The only thing that really interested him was the first aid course because he would rather save a life than to take one.
The score for shooting was as follows Marie with a score of 95 points followed by Karsten with 87 points, Hans with 51 points and at the end Bernd and Herbert with 10 points each
When all courses were done the sun was setting and the Karsten ordered everyone to jog for the time that he needed to talk with Allrich around the basic camp. Herbert who wasn't used to do sport in any kind instantly went out of breath but he tried it again and again for the whole time. At the end Karsten called Delta together and showed them the tent they would have for today.
When Herbert was close to falling into the bed Maria looked at him and then motioned with her head to go to the group which were sitting at the fire in the middle of the camp. Herbert knew that he promised her to be a part of the group and promises were holy to him for they were also called words of honer and there was nothing worse than someone without honor to him.
"Look who's there!" Bernd shouted when he saw Herbert and Maria walking towards them. "I thought you were going to the toilet but you brought someone with you." Hans hit him on the shoulder and whispered "Watch out what you say. Karsten told us that w e should integrate him some more into the group."
Karsten threw a pack of cigarettes to Herbert "Those are a bit softer than those we had with the Major." Bernd complained "Wait he gets cigarettes and I do not?" Karsten asked Herbert to take out five coin rolls out of the bag and to give everyone including himself one roll which Herbert did. "You can all use them tomorrow morning before we move out i would recommend that you all get two MRE's and an extra package of ammunition and here" Karsten gave Bernd one of his coins "Buy yourself a package"
Right after that the squad went a little silent and awkward because no one really knew each other. At least Herbert thought so but the group just enjoyed a bit of silence after an exhausting day. After five minutes or so Karsten said calm "Marie could you please follow me? I think we have to talk about something!" Marie followed him silent but with a smile up her face.
As soon as they were out of range of the group he asked nicely "What are you doing here?" "You mean like here at the moment, in this group or in this training at all?" She asked back. "No. Nana what are you doing in this operation and why the fuck are you here?" Karsten wasn't as calm as he was during the time before but he sounded angry. "Did it really took you that long for you to recognize me? That means my disguise is perfect." She exclaimed happy. "NO. Not at all. I just thought that you were smarter than to just walk into an dangerous operation like this." Now even his calm face showed his anger
"Who said that it was stupid? I have to do things like that so that I keep up with all the protocols and so on and here I have at least nice company and I just helped you with Herbert. Didn't I?" she said in an annoyed tone "If they Identify me and they look what I did during the time I was here they could assume that I only tried to get some information or that I try to improve my skills. What do you think they do when they identify both of us while we both take care of the seemingly weakest and in there eyes most useless person in the squad?" He tried to keep his voice low "They would look into there archive and find nothing. If they find nothing they would make something up because we are interested in him and he and his family would go to jail but just if they are lucky. So tell me why are you here?" He was really pissed
"Yeah maybe you are right I haven't thought about that. But see it from the bright site Herbert tries to be a squad member and it will be over in two days at evening" Marie was interrupted by Karsten "Why would they do that? The plan was that I would earn his trust and that the test would be interrupted at the fifth day. Why was that changed?" Karsten looked at Herbert how he tried to smoke his second cigarette but he didn't found a lighter even through he was sitting in front of a big fire which made Karsten smile "Who changed that?" He asked "That was the captain himself. As for the why that could or could not be because of me." a sad smile hushed over her face "Somehow some information were leaked and it could be that it was someone of my people. We have to speed the plan up a little." She said with a guilty voice like a kid that knew that it had done something wrong.
"Ah now I also understand why you are here in person. Don't worry that could have happened to everyone" Karsten stated. As answer she hugged him and she whispered "You are lucky that the bugs are not in our cloth." Karsten who didn't knew anything about hidden mic's was confused "What?" "The reason why we believe that information were leaked is that the whole event here is bugged and the governor is watching everything. Now kiss me just so the others do not suspect anything" she said smiling
