Chapter 2

The scenery around Charlotte's car gradually changed from story buildings and cars to abandoned buildings and havoc could be seen everywhere, the occasional sound of bullets accompanied the scenery making it look eerie even with Charlotte's composure she could not help but feel her hair stand on end. Parking her car near a wrecked mall she got out and warily scanned her surroundings with a hand gun in hand as she stalked towards the base with a bag on her back; yes that's right Charlotte had officially gotten to the war zone, she could hear the occasional terrifying wails from both sides behind her, her neck tingle with fair and she couldn't help but returning her decision but determination flashed across her eyes as she trudged onwards, she eventually reached the base and there she saw 2 soldiers patrolling in front of the gates so she kept her gun and tightened her hold on the bag sling on her back when she stepped into the zone perimeter the patrols turned to her instantly with caution on their face after all it was weird to see a woman in a place such as  this Charlotte expressionlessly brought out her army permit the patrols adressed it, nodded then handed it back to her before moving aside to give way for her when she stepped in, the smell of blood hit her in the face as she looked around all she saw was injured soldiers everywhere and clearly lacking equipments doctors in white ranch helter skelter as they treated the soldiers; she sighed helplessly and thought 'It seems like i still need to bring the second bag '
She walked towards the patrols and told them she would be back soon after she left the patrols whispered to each other
1st patrol: Do u think she's coming back?
2nd patrol: Very unlikely; didn't you see that she didn't leave her bag behind? Sometimes i detest people like her
1st patrol: Me too
Silence reigns between them before the first patrol spoke
1st patrol: Do u think we'll be able to return back to our wives embrace or lift our kids high above our shoulder?
Instantly the silence became heavier. It took a while before 2nd patrol answered
2nd patrol: Maybe, maybe not but I do know that I have no regrets because I'm doing this for the country I love
1st patrol: (Indignantly and sarcastically) But our beloved country is about to be destroyed by our very own people amazing right.
Instantly the mood darkened visibly and one could almost see a dog of displeasure surrounding them and if someone saw them  at this moment they'll probably get a fright as the 2 patrols looked liked corpses with their ashen and darkened face. That was when a handsome looking man supported a limping man on his shoulder and walked towards them the fog of displeasure surrounding them dispersed instantly as they looked at the man with awe and respect they straightened their backs and salute him while he returned it with an aloof nod before he paused his steps and asked '
"Was there any new recruit today?"
The 2 patrols pursed their lips as they thought back of  the woman immediately displeasure flashed in their eyes and they immediately shook their head, the handsome man nodded and was about to walk away when a cold voice filled with displeasure called behind him
" Is that so?"
He turned around instantly to see the scene before him it would be pretty funny if they were not in a war zone the 2 burly patrols stood there with their mouth ajar while in front of them stood a woman trying to balance two heavy bags on her dainty figure with a hand gun dangling by her waist while she stared at the 2 patrols with blatant displeasure on her face, the 2 patrols stood there awkwardly as if they had eaten a fly; the slap came to suddenly before anyone could react, the handsome couldn't bear it anymore and simply said with his face brimming with impatience
"You may come in and you two can wait here for your punishment"
Afterwards Charlotte walked past them immediately as she couldn't wait to start treating the people inside  but as she walked past the limping man he suddenly called out to her with a weak voice
"Doctor Charlotte"
he said with awe and respect before giving her a weak salute , she paused in her steps and briefly glanced at him
and returned the salute back to him Charlotte recognized him as one of the soldiers she had performed surgery on before as she walked into the base she quickly walked to one of the severely injured ones, he had a knife cut approximately 10 inches close to his heart, 3 bullets on his left leg, everyone had abandoned him because no one wanted to take the risk although he understood he still couldn't help but feel pained so when he saw the lady walking towards him and so  young at that he couldn't help but feel skeptical 
"Leave you are too young" he said hoarsely but the lad y in front of him didn't pay him any heed as she dropped her bags in front of him and opened one up and brought out a suitcase filled with the basic surgical equipment he frowned before continuing " Being arrogant won't get you anywhere  young lady"
The soldier Charlotte was treating was beginning to draw attention with his words but she didn't pay the cases of disdain any head as she took out her syringe of anaesthetic and was about to inject him, he snorted and every doctor around him instantly retreated while looking at Charlotte with gloating expression, the soldier Charlotte was about to treat suddenly erupted with a strong murderous intent but it was like punching a cotton because it had no effect whatsoever and now Charlotte was drowning in displeasure before she hit a point on his neck making him unconscious before she injected him with the syringe while everyone stared her with shock Charlotte completely immersed her self in treating the soldier as she removed the bullets that where dangerously close to his femur one by one everyone's heart tightened both fear and awe then as she slowly stitched the wound close to his heart they couldn't but be mesmerised by her technique some actually drew out a notebook as understanding and respect shone in their eyes and all these was done within 15minutes after treating the wound she called one of the nurses who still stood there in shock before standing up and moving on to another patient it was only then did  they notice the gun on her waist they trembled and ran back to work with fear deeply etched in their soul as they even thought
'Is this person human' some glanced at her with deep admiration especially the men after all who didn't like a beautiful and domineering woman?
And that Was how charlotte continued the rest of her day it was only after the moon rose that she decided to call it a day after all she had spent the whole afternoon treating 25 seriously injured patients but unknown to her 2 pairs of eyes were watching her silently in the dark
"So bro what do you think of her?" The limping young man from before asked
"Andrew what's that supposed to mean?"
"Aww come on Andrè, don't give me that its obvious that you think highly of her otherwise you wouldn't have come here"
"True but if she's only this interesting then she's really not worth my time"
Andrew decided to ignore that comment and said
"Oh look she's done"
Andrè looked over and saw that she was indeed done but where was she going with her gun so late and night wasn't she supposed to eat and rest? Or did she think she was indestructible?
Andrè frowned as he pondered
