(Apologies for google translation)
"It's true..."
"I knew those Germans will attack..."
Andrea told Alex about what she heard. Alex looked at her with a concerned face.
"Don't worry, my warrior. The allies will do something about it." Alex tried to calm her.
Andrea looked at back at Alex. "No." That's all she said.
She walked away from the office and slam the door. Tears begin to row down her eyes as she realised that there's nothing she can do.
"Sergeant, are you alright?" A young soldier came to Andrea to comfort her.
"Sì, I'm alright. Thank you for asking, Junior." Andrea said as her frown turned to a sad smile.
She saw the soldier and thought:" why do the young fight for the elder's point of argument."
She decided that she will do something unthinkable. To be deserted.
She packed her bag to protect herself. And wrote a note for Alex.
She slowly wrote:
_________________________________________
Dear Alex,
I have seen too many things. I need a time off. Don't bother finding me. I've decided to do something that brings shame to my family. Don't tell my parents, this note is just for you.
And you only.
Sincerely,
Andrea Serraino

She folded and left the note on Alex's office table.
She will regret this decision later on, but now she made up her mind.
She ran to the east, thinking its a place to help refugees and be a better person there.
"If I can't do it here, I'll do it somewhere else." She thought to herself.
(Before midnight)
She manage to make her way through the security. "So laxed." She thought to herself with a smirk.
The same thing happened until she reach the polish-Ukrainian borders.
"Stoppen Sie genau dort, Ma'am." Someone yelled.
Andrea turned around to confront the soldier. She hoped that he will have a little empathy.
The soldier with brown hair and olive brown skin, his right cheek is covered by a big scar.
"Wozu bist du hier?" He asked.
Andrea was confused. She never spoke any foreign languages, except Italian and English.
She just looked at him confused.
The soldier and Andrea stared at each other for a short time, but felt like forever.
The soldier turns around and walked away. Andrea thought he was going to call the backup, but he didn't.
She just continues on her wandering journey.
(Midnight)
Andrea is starving. She only packed a few food for this unexpected trip.
She set a trap with a thin wire and rocks to catch a incoming animal.
She hid in the bushed for cover and waited for her supper.
Not long, she dozed off. But was awaken by a sound of footsteps. She immediately jumped to the next bush beside her. Andrea looked at who or what was that making the noises.
She decided to tackle it as soon as it was distracted.
As soon as the creature turned away from her, she pounces from behind and pin the thing to the ground.
"Gotcha, its time for you to be supper!"
"Attends, eat me?! I'm human!" The person spoke with a heavy French accent.
Andrea looked down to see a brown hair man that almost looked the same as the soldier earlier.
"Who are you? Why do you have a gun? Who send you? Was it the German? Can't be, you sound French." Andrea kept asking.
"Can you let me go first?" The man exclaimed.
Andrea stood up but still pinning the man to the ground. "SPEAK!" She yelled.
"Mon name is Danner."
"Well, Danny. What do you have a gun?"
Andrea questioned Danner.
"I'm using it to protect myself. You expect me to go out without weaponry at this kind of time?" Danner replied.
Andrea admits defeat and let Danner go.
Danner stood up and immediately asked:" Look, I know we just met. But I need your help!"
Andrea looked at him, shocked but not surprised by the sudden request for help, :" Go on..."
"There is a camp that I'm in that need help with necessities. I feel bad about drawing their supplies, so I'm proving to them that I can provide. You don't mind helping?" Danner asked.
"How do I know if you not tricking me, testa bruna?" Andrea said as she adds a little insult.
"Crois-moi! I know what I'm doing. Why do I need an orange head like you for?" Konrad replied.
Andrea was pissed by the insult he added, but she decided to join him cause she is very hungry.
"OK, I guess." Andrea replied.
Danner lead Andrea to the camp.
