Denis stayed indoors at his uncle's homestead in the next few days and locked himself in the room to avoid Lieutenant Jack. He could vaguely hear him asking about him over and over every day. His rejection did not affect him in any way.
Denis became tired of staying indoors and came out finally.
Lieutenant Jack behaved like a kid who had seen his father after a long time.
He did not leave his side.
Silent was watching from the side and only shook his head and continued with his instructions to the men.
The homestead had been turned into a camp with lots of people and tools were around.
A tent was placed in the middle of the compound and used as a medical camp. Almost 20 people were being treated for their gunshot wounds and all the hitting they got from Omar's men.
He visited all the men in each bed and consoled them. All this time, Jack was not leaving him space. His men were laughing at his misfortunes.
