Here's a preview of the 5th chapter that I may release today. C:

Some minutes passed by, soldiers were either sitting in the tank’s tracks or simply looking at the horizon, waiting for the signal.

A fellow soldier then approached James, with a sore look on his eyes and trying to keep his composure after being sleepless for two days straight.

“Sir, permission to drink your water?”

“Well, don’t your teammates have them?”

“They ran out after sharing it with the others…”

“Well, ask others.”

“Not a single drop in theirs as well.”

“I can buy you one then.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“If we occupy this city I can give it based on your lucky number. Do you have any?

It was enough to make him drop the gun while shaking out his own hands, which then he looks at them and starts counting.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Private?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Just give me a straight answer! It’s just that simple, OK?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Well…it’s it’s…twe-twe…”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Twenty?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“No…no…nonono!”

This makes him drop one of his bags and looks for something in it, while James continuously tries to guess the number, while the private was close in sweating a lot.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Twelve! Everybody’s lucky number for the continent!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Fortunately, his shouting was cut short when something was shown in front of his face, something no soldier would expect in a battlefield. It was a 9 DP Glessgon Whiskey bottle. This makes the soldier immediately hatch it away, and stares at it profoundly, like a newfound love in his life.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Just this then…it was twenty one anyways.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">James was in disbelief in what was his bodyguard carrying, who then looks at him with a glance of pure of disbelief and shock.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:20.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Century",serif;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Couldn’t help, what else needs to matter to drink in times like this you know?”
