Calypso made her way with caution into the building, looking out for possible people working for the government or anyone else who against the rebels herself. She was currently out looking for supplies, and she kept her senses sharp, holding a knife in one hand, a torch in the other, and multiple other knives hidden among her clothes. She carefully made her way around, looking for supplies, and people as well.

Jeremy who saw Calypso entered alone in the abandoned building deciding to follow her.

Calypso kept on creeping through the building, but also realised that someone was following her. She crept around a little more, finding a room, still realising that the stranger was following her. When she entered the room, she grabbed her knife, and held him down, holding the knife to this throat. "Who are you, and where are you from?" She asked, holding him down by his shoulders on the ground.

He was pinned onto the ground and was chocking. " wow. Fast move ". He said. Smiling.

Calypso held the knife a little deeper into his neck, but not enough to penetrate it. "I'll say it again. Who are you, and where are you from?" She repeated, showing a scowl on her face. "And don't doubt that I won't do it" She added, gripping the knife, seeing his light mood.

" Wow, this girl have a deep gut in her " He thought to himself. He tackled her and he was on top of her. " The name, Jeremy " He said, smirking.

Calypso struggled underneath his grasp, but eventually gave up, letting out a long breath, and looking up at him. "Calypso" She said, not even bothering to smile. "Names Calypso" She looked up into his eyes, and felt the urge to smile, but didn't. He didn't look like one of them, so she stopped worrying.

" Nice name. " He chuckle. He get up from calypso and lend a hand to help her to get up.

Calypso rejected the hand coldly, getting up by herself, and reaching for her knife, retuning it to its pocket on its side. "Alright" She said, brushing herself off. "You've told me your name, now, who do you work with?" She questioned him, ready for her knife. "Government? DGM? Tribe? Catcher?"

He watched as his helping being rejected. " Okay " He awkwardly said and shove his hand onto his short black pants. " I'm a rebel " he said. Looking at her.

Calypso's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?" She said, removing her hand from her knife, a small smile creeping on her face. "Well in that case, sorry for the introduction" She extended her hand. "Im Calypso, Leader of the Rebels themselves" She looked at him. "Sorry about trying to kill you; we rebels need to be careful, you know what I mean?"

He gladly take her hand and shake it. " Jeremy turner, at your service ". Then they started to walk. " well, you almost got me killed there " running his hand through his hair.

Calypso walked alongside him, holding a knife for self defence. "Yeah well, being a rebel and all, you need to be careful. One person from the government can bring down the organisation, and for that to happen, would be absolute hell" She said, giving him a glance. "Speaking of which, what exactly are you doing out in the open? Only specified rebels are allowed out of the camp"

" Oh " he started.

[Flashback]
Jeremy was instructed to get firewood for the camp but instead of finding it, he wandered off. He was curious of the island and thinking that a little adventure would'nt hurt at all. Then as he was walking, he saw a girl pretty much older than him was fully packed with weapon decided to follow her.

[Flashback end]

" I was ..wandering around, thats all " He avoid Calypso eyes and look elsewhere.

Calypso shrugged. "In a way, even though safety is everything, I dont blame you" She said, picking up a bag of supplies, and searching it. "I mean, camp is good and all, but everyone lingers for a bit of adventure every once in a while" She said, continuing to walk. "As long as you're safe, thats all"

He helps calypso with the supplies and shrugged. " Well, i could'nt call it linger. Its adventure! " He exclaim. " It was boring in camp and all we have to do is finding a way to escape the island, and defeat the government and what comes after that? We all live happily ever after? " they were walking while gather the used supply and put it in the bag.

"Its not as simple as that" Calypso murmured, knowing that it will be hard. "Trust me, I've experienced the power and force of the government itself, its not as easy as you think" She sighed, and continued walking with him. "We are trying your best, but I dont think there will ever be a 'happily ever after'" she said, sighing.

" Well, i don't believe in happily ever after. It will always going to be people who will eventually destroy the ever after and we have to repeat the cycle of making the happily ever after alive again. " he said. Taking a blanket that was neatly stacked on the top of the cupboard. He jump and slid his hand to get it. " hey, this blanket can be distributed to everyone in the camp, you think it would be enough?" He said.

The corner of Calypso's mouth raised a little, but that was about it. "Yeah, I understand what you're saying." She said, with a shrug. "But its not just like how all the books have it. No, this is strangely different. I don't think there will ever be a happy ever after" She said looking down. She looked up at him grabbing the blankets. "Great idea, and that seems like a reasonable amount" She said, helping him by holding some of the load.

" Wanna head out to camp now? "he said, " Or you want to go for an adventure again? "

Calypso looked at him, thinking. "Its up to you, really" She said, walking while holding her stash of supplies and blankets. "I mean, its really whatever you want. Feeling hungry for adventure? Or would you rather relax in the comfort of camp?" She asked him playfully.

" Well, i'm going to head out to camp " . He looked at her and smile. He slang the supplies bag on his right and went down the cliff hill and about to reach camp in 5 minutes.. He once again ask if she needed help to go down the cliff hill without getting injured. He lend a hand to her. " Take it or leave it. " He asked, playfully while smirking at her.

Calypso followed him to camp, making her way down the hill. When he offered his hand, Calypso rolled her eyes, seeing the charm he was trying to show off, but she couldn't resist, and took the hand gratefully, making her way down the hill, and to the camp.

((Thread switch?))

((Yup. Go to camp))

((Sure! What about Calypsos private room?))

((okay i'll be there))

Upon reaching the building Eric waited for Christian in his car

" So, where this christian guy." said Lara, her eyes wildly searching for him.

Seems like he's not coming besides I lied I just wanted you to come and have a little fun said Eric with a dangerous glint in his eyes

" Oh. " She said, not sure what to say. Eric's eyes are now looking at her which makes him more attractive than before.

So you still up for it said Eric the excitement making him talk quicker

" Up for what?. " Said Lara, confusely.

Blowing up the building said Eric

" Well yeah!. Thats why we are here for?. " She wink at him and open the car door. She step outside the car and looked at the abandoned building.

Eric smiled and got out of the car then opened the trunk and took out c-4 and have some to Lara then said we are only blowing a part of the building

" Really? Why half of the building?." She said, taking the c-4 from eric's hand.

It's fun seeing the other part of the building fall said Eric

" Okay, Mr fun-seeing-the-other-part-of-the-building-fall. I leave this job to you. " She take out her gadget from her pocket. She flip the gadget and it transform into a transparent tablet.

No you have to lay the c-4 to have the full experience said Eric

" Yes, i'm experience the fun here. Because i'll be recording your marks on blowing a building." Said Lara, taking the tablet pen and starting to write something on the tablet.

Wait how did this become a lesson said Eric

Lara smirk and put her hand on her hip the other holding the tablet. " Since now. "

Fine but if I get a lower score it's because you cheated said Eric then he ran into the building and started placing c-4

Lara chuckle. " Cheating is my game. Wanna bet?. "Smirking.

I'm good said Eric

Then Eric went in and placed the c-4 but it took a little longer then asked how did I do

" Keep going. " Lara said. Still recording his speed.

Eric sighed then kept going finally finished he then can back to the car panting

Lara catches a few glances of eric's effortness and continue recording.
