Invasion of Leeds

[Wolfs Ghost]

I sat in the corner for what felt like days, though constantly checking the watch that I had slipped off of his arm and placed on my own only showed the hours ticking by slowly. I'm actually happy that I've trained myself to stay awake for hours on end... after all, staking out a place to steal from was practically an all day endeavor for a lone Buccaneer.

Granted... I did doze off.

Vision blurred, he was met with a dark ceiling upon slowly opening his eyes. Blinking a couple of times cleared the fog from his vision, though it did not rid the darkness that enveloped the room he found himself in.

His body ached as he slowly sat up, using his arms to prop himself up at an acute angle. The cool soot free air was a relief as he drew in shallow breaths - remembering what had happened in the encounter. It was only when he turned his head to look around the room did he see a woman curled up against a corner of the room.

The girl looked exhausted, judging by how she had apparently passed out waiting for him to wake. She had risked her own life to save his. A complete stranger.

Once again, he escaped death's grasp, that in-itself becoming more than a habit. He looked at her and didn't feel thankful at all, because of him, she was now likely to die, and he knew it. Gritting his teeth together, he mustered his strength and began to slide out of the bed.

Getting off the planet was still a priority, and his mind had refocused on his previous plan. If his ship was still intact, he would use that to get off of Leeds. Information about Joseph conducting and participating in planetary operations would be vital for the resistance, and the Armed Forces. Of course, relaying that information directly to the Admiralty would completely ruin his faked death.

No one to rely other than himself.

He gave one last look over at the sleeping girl and shook his head lightly as he stepped through the door, quietly and carefully closing it behind him. "It's better off for you if I'm not around. At least you won't be killed by my choices." He whispered as soon as the door was closed.
