" Hey Delilah, wait up!" Anna exclaimed as Delilah began to run towards their ward the moment they stepped out of Harrison's ward.
When she got into the room, she saw her lying on her stomach, her face buried in the pillow with her hair scattered over it.
Anna giggled," That went well" she 'sighed' as she sat on her bed.
" That's easy for you to say" she heard the girl yell, her voice muffled in the pillow.
Anna burst into a round of laughter.
… Earlier, In The Empty Cabin …
A knock from the door.
One of the soldiers went to open the door, and their school principal, Mr. Du Lang, a short robust man with a round face, chubby cheeks, little slitted eyes and upturned lips, he is also known as Mr. Buddha.
" Major Zhang Han" Mr. Du Lang greeted respectfully with a deep bow.
" Hm" Zhang Han responded with a nod, his eyes stared vacantly at the girls, who suddenly looked like they'd just received a glimmer of hope upon seeing their school principal.
Mr. Du Lang was given a seat, and he sat humbly, he adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat," Major Zhang" he began, but Zhang Han interjected,
" I wonder what suggestions Principal Du Lang came up with. You wouldn't mind sharing them, would you?" he went straight to the point, his sharp gaze landing on the Buddha lookalike man.
Mr. Du Lang chuckled, his voice laced with anxiousness," I… I don't think it's safe speaking before the children, Major Zhang" he replied softly.
Zhang Han thought for a while and nodded in agreement, the two men rose from their seats.
" Get them something to eat" was the cold order Zhang Han gave before he left.
… Outside the cabin…
Mr. Du Lang and Zhang Han stood beneath a tree, the gentle breeze sweeping Zhang Han's hair, deep green tank top and camouflage cargo pants softly.
" Major Zhang," Principal Du Lang adjusted his glasses, seems like a habit," I have no idea these girls could be capable of committing such monstrous offence" he said.
Zhang Han's gaze remained on the soldiers training from afar as he listened to the man beside him speak.
The principal continued," According to their atrocity, I came up with the suggestion of granting them a six-week suspension from school activities, and within those six weeks, they shall observe community service"
Zhang Han chuckled darkly," Principal Du, I could have lost two lives and my job thanks to these girls, and that's all you can say?" he asked ironically, sarcasm and disdain dripping from his voice.
Mr. Du Lang rubbed his chubby hands, a sudden chill descended, and it was freezing him to the bone.
" Principal Du, your suggestions are not according to their atrocities, for these girls are charged with; assault, causing serious bodily harm, according to Article 234 of the Chinese Criminal Law."
" Abandoning and neglecting comrades in distress, according to Article 44 of the Chinese Military Criminal Law. Obstruction of justice and providing false statements, according to Article 306 of the Chinese Criminal Law." He explained, grimly, like he was reciting a mantra.
