As happened before, after five minutes knocking at Herr Oberst Office
I walked of the Officers quarters, This time leaving no note or any other
way of tell him I was there....
Outside the Day light was starting to fade into a slight soft clarity announcing
that night was approaching fast, I looked over my wrist watch trying to calculate
the time I had left before night fall...
Entered the Barracks yard and looked at the infirmary , The thoughts of
Letum condition made me change course and go directly to see what was
really going with him, I could even take the chance of figuring out what
really attacked him and see if he had any marks that could help me
understand all this...
A strange warm flooded his veins and his entire body ...
Got inside the Infirmary and as usual everything was well placed as in a normal
military installation, at the entrance a couple of large chairs and a medicine stand
and the Docs desk... I passed do the Door step that leaded to the Infirmary beds
room and my eyes immediately saw UnderseaLcpl that was taking care of Letum
laid on the bed next to him...
... Got closer to the Bed and UnderseaLcpl, that looked at me arriving almost immediately.
- Hi Oberfeldwebel (Sargent Major) ...- I saluted without taking my eyes of Letum
sleeping body on the bed...
- JCwolf...- I looked at me.- what brings you here...-I said turning his attention on
Letum again.
- Just to know how he is going Sargent Major...I replied searching Letum's body for
clues...
- He is better now, Not out of the coma, I'm afraid , but much better than
yesterday..._-Said the Sargent major...
- What is that mark on his right arm Herr Oberfeldwebel ? I asked looking at a
mark that I was pretty sure looked a lot like a claw mark made by some
kind of predator...
- I am not sure of what it is, some kind of cutting knife weapon wound ..- he
replied...
- Well I hope he gets better, I have to go now Herr Oberfeldwebel !- I saluted
and walked through the infirmary door going into the Barracks....
I have no doubt about that wound, on Letum arm...
But then again I have a old wound just similar to that one ....On my right arm
A shivering cold freeze the blood on his veins....
