In my quest for food I stumbled on a Gu10 patrol. They were making camp in an old ruined apartment building on the second floor. I lay in wait and started to think about my chances. I knew they had food by how to get it without getting shot. I must have been waiting for hours when suddenly one of them rallied them up and ordered to various positions around the block.

Only the leader stayed in front of the building. The camp was deserted and it was a chance that I couldn’t miss. I noticed fire stairs from the other side of the building. That’s my way in. I slowly circulated around the building and started to climb the fire escape. When I got to the apartment I grabbed the gun that was standing on the table just in case. I picked up their spare clothes and boots and felt like finally I am ready for freeing my daughter. Few minutes passed and I found their rations. It was enough food for three days. As I was getting ready to leave I saw a shadow near the door.

I hid and waited to see who it is. I just hoped that it was my imagination and that it's not a Gu10 guard. Of course it was. He was nervous because he heard me and now he has come to investigate. I could feel the tension rising, because both of us were burning with fear and anticipation. It was me, a fire fighter, against a fully trained Gu10 guard. I thought I will die for sure.
