" Alright, guys we should be at the base in less than five minutes make sure you have all your belongings alright?"
We all nod at the driver, Dante which is what I believe Allister called him.
"When we get off this truck they are probably going to take you to be searched and quarantined, stay close to me and I will get you guys into a secluded area." Allister says
The car comes to a stop and we are immediately surrounded by soldiers and a man walks up to Dante's window.
"Wright! You made it back alive! Good to have you back my boy" he says while sticking his hand through the window and onto Dante's shoulder.
"Did you bring back my star boy?" He asks Dante enthusiastically
"Yes sir, he's in the back." The man looks through the window and into the back
"Sir," Allister says while saluting to the man
"What's with all this...cargo?" He says looking at us in what can be described as a mixture of disgust and unrest.
" Sir, we ran into a group of people fresh off a flight from Italy, There should be about 14 of them within all three cars." Allister says
"Alright bring them into general pop." The man said before walking to the back to open up the sideways opening half trunk
"Sir. With all due respect, I request that you bring them into the special holding area." He says looking the man in his eye
"Major you know we can't bring all 14 into a secluded area." He leans his body on the half door
"Sir we don't need all of them, just these four." Allister points back at us
"Alright major, but they will be your responsibility." He gives in and sighs
"Thank you sir" he says while getting out of the car.
"You four please exit the car and follow our major into the screening area." The man says before walking to the next car
"Alright guys come on out and be fast before the rest of the people see that you all are going to a different place," Allister says
He holds his hand out for me to help me out of the car.
when we are all out Allister walks back to Dante
"You know where we will be, catch up later?"He fists bumps Dante
"You know it man," Dante says before pulling off
We follow Allister behind the main building and into  a large gated clearing filled with 4 massive black tents and infront of those are 3 medium-sized white tents
We enter the first white tent and are greeted by an Indian woman with ginger hair in a white lab coat that looks no more than 5 years older than me.
" Hi, my name is Dr. Jenny if you could all take a seat at a medical bed and remove all items of your person except your shirt and pants that would be great." she quickly says
I take the first bed next to Emi and take off my large jacket.
I shiver as I have nothing but my cropped black t-shirt and joggers to keep me warm
"Okay if you could stand up and slowly spin around so I can take a look at you" Dr. Jenny say to me
I stand up and slowly spin around
"Ooh that is a nasty bruise you have there, I can wrap it up for you when we are done if you would like" Dr jenny offers
"No, I'm fine really-" I'm cut off by Allister
"She would love that Dr. Jenny." He says while leaning against the tent pole propped up behind me
"I said I was fine," I say to him as dr Jenny moves on to Emi
" yea I heard, but it's not the truth." he counters
"How do you know it's not the truth" I turn to him he pushes his body off the pole and slowly walks to me and slightly pushes on my side and I immediately wince and bend away from him.
"See, you're not fine." He says looking down at me
"That hurt." I glare at him
"I know that's why you should get it wrapped up before it gets worse." his eyes soften
"...fine, you win," I admit defeat and slump back on the bed
Soon enough Dr. Jenny finishes everyone's evaluation and comes back to me.
"If you all could wait outside while I wrap her up that would be great." Dr. Jenny says and Allister leads everyone but Emi to wait outside.
"can you lift your top up for me?" Dr. jenny asks
I comply lifting my shirt and showing off my sports bra.
Emi sits next to me offering comfort.
"How did you get this?" She asks
I don't want anyone to suspect me of getting bit...So I lie.
"I kind of tripped and fell when I was trying to get in the truck."
"I can see why you would, those trucks are huge" she states very plainly and pushes her orange hair away from her face
She opens up a jar and places a cream over my bruise before placing a large gauze over the area and wrapping it.
"There, all done." She says
"Thank you so much" I thank her.
I fix my top and put my jacket on before we exit the tent
We make our way back to Allister and the others.
"Are you okay?" He asks me for what seems like the thousandth time
He looks at the wrap that sticks out from under my top.
"I'm fine." I give him a small irritated small and he nods back at me
"Okay, guys! we will be keeping you in the second tent. The rules here are you can not leave this tent under any circumstances. Meals will be delivered 3 times a day if you're lucky. There should be a portable toilet and sink secluded in the back of the tent.
Under no circumstances do you leave the tent. If you need anything ask one of the guards in front of the tent. I'll be back to check in on you guys later tonight." He says before walking over to where I'm standing
He leans in and says to me
"If your side starts to hurt let me know and I'll find some painkillers for you."
"Got it." I roll my eyes at his father figure tone.
"I'm serious." He says staring deep into my eyes, unrelentingly
I glare back until I'm uncomfortable with the way he's staring into my soul.
"Ok alright, alright I will call you if it hurts." I raise my hands up in defense
