I had no time to think, I had to answer something, fast. "Suki. It was Suki."

I hoped to gain some time, at least, before they realize I was bullshiting. With luck, Suki would follow the lie and it would pass. The woman in hazmat suit then asked me details on how I managed that, on which I tried to be the more vague possible, and she took a blood sample.

After that, she made other tests before someone called her, and I was left with the two guards. When she came back, she was clearly under stress.

"We have to go. This is no longer secure. I'm sorry." She said, taking her equipment and leaving the room again.

"Sorry for what ?" I asked without answer.

Then, one of the guards put his hand to the side of his head, tilting it a little toward the hand.

"Are you... ? Please confirm..." He said. "Ok, copy."

He then pointed his submachine gun toward me and the other one panicked.

"What are you doing ?" He shouted.

"Orders."

Under the panic, I froze like a deer in headlights. I would have been dead if the second guard wasn't arguing the orders.

"Why the fuck would we need to shoot a civilian ?"

The first soldier lowered his gun, turning his head to his coworker. "What's not clear in, it's the orders ?"

I finally got back to my senses and looked around for something to get me out of the situation, and spotted an empty tray next to me. I took it and rushed to the door. When the guards realized what I was trying, they turned their gun to me and I threw the tray at them, giving me the second needed to open the door and leave.

The rest of the tent was in disarray, people in hazmat suit were running and taking everything they could with them. Being among them prevented the guards to shoot, but I needed to escape them, so I could help the others. But, as I was trying to escape them, I found myself in an empty room with them just behind me. And when I thought I was done for, the guard stopping at a few feet from me, someone came from behind and teared their suit with a knife, making them panic. Taking advantage of it, we both run away and ended up outside.

In the empty street, military trucks were driving away, and I saw Suki disappearing in one of the back alleys.

"We go home ?" Moe-Li asked.

"I guess, so." I told her.
