I never minded it and we continued to eat. I can see Tatiana sneakily pocketing a few Pirozhkis in her pockets while still eating a whole one from her other hand.
“Hey, I can still cook more of those you know?” I reminded her.
“Oh, haha, this is for Rin. I’d like her to taste my favorite food.” she replied while smiling.
“I’m f.u.c.k.i.n.g stuffed~” Jared chimed to the side.
Suddenly, someone ripped a very loud fart and the smell is terrible.
“THE F.U.C.K~! Who did that?!” I said as I looked in the direction I heard it.
The two old dudes pointed at each other while Kaley immediately picked up the cake from the table and ran down.
“Ugh! It’s probably dad!” Kaley shouted.
“THE F.U.C.K?~ It’s Oscar!” Matthew shouted.
“THAT FART DIDN’T SOUND AMERICAN SO IT’S NOT ME~!” Oscar shouted as well.
“HAHAHAHA~!!!” Jared laughed hard and we all started to vacate the rooftop.
“No one’s gonna eat these so I’ll take them all~” Tatiana said while grabbing the Pirozhkis and the remaining bottle of Vodka.
“Sure take it! The people below are still eating so just come to my room when they’re ready for the meeting.” I said as we’re going through the stairs. The two old dudes never went down while Kaley and I went to our room.
Kaley placed the cake on the table near the TV and then she took another slice and ate it.
“You like what we cooked?” I asked.
“Yeah, I can’t believe it would be better if we cooked it ourselves.” she replied.
“Hah! It always is but we could make something even better if we put our time on it. We’re just in a rush to finish everything in a couple of hours. It still turned out okay though.” I replied.
I looked at our blades and decided to clean it because of the grime that is starting to acc.u.mulate. I took hers as well and she watched me do the same process I did before while she’s eating next to me. She started to ask a few questions and I answered them all.
I took the tanto as well to clean it since I still have more time and no one is calling us yet. After I’m done, the three blades are all shining brightly after I wiped the oil residue with a rice cloth. I cleaned the scabbards as well and I smiled looking at another job well done.
Kaley and I laid on the bed and we started to listen on the music from my phone until someone called us for the meeting.
“He’s here!”
“Thank the gods!”
“Sky~ Why did you leave us with Tatiana~”
“I think I bruised something from her training, my back hurts a bit.”
I was surprised when a few people started to hide in my back while Tatiana was scratching her head in confusion.
“What happened?” Kaley asked.
They then told the story that Tatiana came up the gym trying to practice what I showed her earlier and she’s slowly starting to get irritated when the middle slug would always pop off as soon as she started on sliding the three in one motion. When they started on training, Tatiana made everyone spar with her but instead of holding back, she went all out.
“She hits hard Sky~” Chris chimed from the side while rubbing his chin.
“I forgot that I pull my punches when I’m with them.” I thought to myself.
“Well that’s the case now. Sometimes Tatiana will be teaching you guys instead of me. Truth be told I’ve been holding back a bit and slowly increasing the load I’m giving you guys. The punches I’ve been throwing you before are held back and I’ve never started to increase the power I’ve been hitting you with just the speed. I can’t believe Tatiana went 100% at the first time she taught you guys.” I said.
“What?! You’re still holding back?!” some of them exclaimed.
“Yeah. If I didn’t, you’ll die.” I replied nonchalantly.
“Kaley! She’s been training you, right?” Russel asked.
“Hmm? Yeah.” she replied.
“Did she hold back with you?” he asked.
“I don’t know. Tatiana, did you?” Kaley asked Tatiana.
“Hmm? No. That’s why you improved the most out of everyone. The results are clearly showing, correct? Well, you’re a special case though, you learn really fast. I can hold back with some of the people in the future then if that’s what they want.” she said.
“Hmm, hold that thought. What I want you to do is pick a few people whom you think that could take it and start to give them the spartan training that you did. In the future, I’d like you to start on leading a few people on runs as well since I want someone who knows what she’s doing since you’ve been with us a couple times already and know the pattern. I know that you’re tasked to protect me but they also told you to obey my commands. I don’t need much protection if you’ve already witnessed it and I want to increase the group that goes to runs outside.” I said.
“I also want Oscar to lay off once in a while. Johnny has been keeping the order when the both of us go out but Oscar needs a break too.” I thought to myself.
We finally started our meetings and the new people I’m with introduced themselves to everyone officially.
“Who’s gonna start with the reports?” I asked.
“Kid. I brought out the pulse oximeters and handed them to the elderly today when you’re gone. Marisha there explained to everyone the importance of our safety here and the dangers from what happened earlier this day. All of them agreed to wear them and Carol and Shayne will start on checking on them starting now and the family they’re with is now also responsible for checking them while she’s not around. The elderly has also agreed to sleep in a separate room and the door they’re sleeping at was carved a square hole and a glass pane were placed on it so we could check them first before we enter just to be safe. The other news I’ve told you already earlier.” he said.
“That’s good. If anyone has any more concerns for our safety, just approach me or tell them in the meetings so we’ll have a discussion of it. That’s why we have meetings so we I could receive inputs from you guys that I might have missed. How about the 3rd road? What’s the situation there unc?” I said.
“The water from the creek is starting to flow now though there are still a few clumps of garbage that we need to get from the waters. I’ve dismantled most of the houses there from the people who squatted there but I’ve also dismantled a few that are already run down. Some of the windows of the wooden houses there are broken and when it rains, the water seeps to the walls and the wooden walls and floors are already rotten from the continuous damage. We’re mostly finished on the most of them since a lot of people helped earlier.” he said.
After Zeidrick said that, Anthony chimed, “Oh yeah, we’ve made a few of these earlier.”
They were a few ingots from the scrap yard near the basketball court where the barn was built.
“The XRF Analyzer is awesome and we tidied everything from there. All the scraps have already been melted and Zeidrick handed me the molds and I started on making those from the small bits. The big ones I’ve left alone just in case we might have use for them. I’m pretty much free on duties this point on, want me to do anything else?” he added.
“Hmm, I’d like you to make a huge gate for us that could replace the fence on my old house. But before you do that, check the integrity each gate for the houses that has people on it if they could still hold up. Reinforce the ones you think that needs it. You know where the materials are and I trust on what you’ll do.” I said.
We discussed a few more items and we ended the meeting.
Surprisingly, Rin, Olivia, Alex, Aubrey and Charlotte are now being personally trained now along with Kaley. The gym upstairs is much more lively now with the presence of new faces. I did my usual routine and I went inside my room after a shower since the ladies are still going at it.
“Now, let’s see what’s hidden here…” I thought to myself as I grabbed the PZP.
I checked it again and opened the game itself to see if there are any other hidden easter eggs I might’ve missed. I wrote on a piece of paper all of it and started on rearranging them first.
“S… E… N… D… I’m getting something here. N… U… D… nope. Better start over.” I set that paper aside after shaking my head.
“E… P… S… T… E…. I… N… D… I… D… N… woah, woah! Hold up! I might get in trouble for this. The f.u.c.k is the messages he’s leaving me?!” I thought to myself as I started over.
