End Of The Beginning

Chapter 16- Fix

The entire camp was somewhat silent. Most of the lights turned off as usual. Only a faint light everywhere.

" You still believe him ? " Sara asked Samuel

" No, not entirely. But what if it's true ? That means we are in danger. " Samuel replied

" I feel the same." Said Caitlin

" But don't let him know that we know that he is lying. If he does, then he may escape. " Said Sara

" I don't think he is lying. And he can't escape, his spaceship is damaged. It won't fly." Said Samuel

" What if it's another lie ? What if its what he wants us to believe ? " Sara asked

" I don't think so. I was there, I've seen the ship. It's really damaged. And if he wanted to escape, he should have done it already. " Samuel replied.

" So you want us to pretend to be stupid and believe every crap he says ? " Sara asked Samuel

" I'm afraid so." Said Samuel

" I understand your frustration, but we don't have a choice. Our life is in his hands now. You saw him, you saw him killing that thing. He did what we thought was impossible. Think about the camp. Think about each and every one in here. Think about Ray. We must do this. It's the only way. " Said Caitlin

Sara didn't say anything for a moment. She stood there and looked at the faces of the two " I understand. " She then left the room.

" Caitlin is looking for you. " a guy in a red shirt told Wayne

" She is in the room. " he pointed to a door.

" Ok " Wayne walked into that room

He entered the room, Caitlin and Samuel were already there. Few minutes later sara joined them

" So what's the plan, how can we escape from here ? " asked Caitlin

" Help me fix my ship. " Wayne replied

" You sure it's gonna work ? It seems pretty bad. " Samuel looked at Wayne

" Yeah, there are supplies on board for repairing the ship. " Wayne replied

" How long it will take ? " Asked Caitlin

" I don't know. With enough people , five or six days. " Wayne replied

" But what if we encounter more of those things ? " Asked Samuel

" No problem. I can handle a few at a time. I will also scout the area with drones. We can go in if they see any movement. The ship will keep you safe. " Wayne replied

" What is the number of people required to complete the work in five days ? " Asked Caitlin

" The more the merrier. " Said Wayne

" Alright. " said Caitlin

" It's getting late, we need rest. It's been a crazy day. " Said Samuel

" Yeah, you all need rest. We will sort everything tomorrow. " said Caitlin.

All of them went to sleep after leaving the room. Caitlin went to bed. " Good night " she said as she took the photo from her pocket and kissed it.
