Abyss Of Silent Heroes 74 George's 26Th Birthday!

" Its his birthday today. Its good we found some canned goods, oil, flour and so much to mention. Huh! but where are we going to cook all of these?" Albrecht's distressing question.

"Albrecht, we found the house mentioned in Sr. Sibal's journal. Its up there, inside the serene granite mountain, though the house was almost complete with embellishments but it has no furnace and its a closed-type house. But I wonder it stored pot and pan. And Albrecht, you'll love the granite bowls and plates." She smiled whilst focusing the flashlight on her face.

" Mag, are you not kidding? How can this place have another house? You're not used to funny things so stop kidding at me, anyway, I'm serious, its George birthday." He pulled back the sack on his back full of food.

" Haha! no, I'm serious. Come!" She pulled his hand and they both ran going up while George was worried to Magee's wound ad yhey both followed with Baldur.

" Wow! amazing! Beautiful! I can't believe on what I see." Albrecht was in a flabbergast mode and touched all the granite surfaces he just have seen in his entire life.

" See, I wasn't kidding." She smiled.

" But its impossible that it has no furnace. The charcoal below is the proof. The furnace here might be a double purpose. Wait!" Albrecht touched all the walls near the kitchen and at last!

" Here! haha!" then he pushed the granite wall sideward and they both found a semi cave-like furnace with a stove.

" Wow! amazing!" Magee was stunned and right away told him to go back and pull a sack of charcoal. Then he quickly returned underneath. On his way he met George and Baldur carrying some sacks going up.

" Ow! why are you going back?" Baldur asked.

" I'll get a sack of charcoal."

" But we don't have any furnace nor stove in the house."

" We just found one." Albrecht laughed.

" Really? well that's good news!" Then George immediately went up with Baldur.

When they were already upstairs George opened the granite door and Baldur smiled.

"This is great! what a work of art! so elegant and refined, wow! then Baldur hurriedly ran to pick a bottle of wine but George signaled him not to touch any from the bottles."

" Why?" Baldur asked.

" Magee doesn't like me to drink. I wasn't under parole. She told me I could drink only after the war." He whispered to him.

" What?" Baldur almost yelled with a gaping mouth.

" Haha! Yes. I mustn't be hard-headed, you know. Its a sporting chance rather than be kicked out pointlessly." He smiled.

" So this is abuse of power, brother." Baldur criticized.

But when George shared to him about Magee's sentiments during Guida and Edmund's wedding - Baldur only sighed.

" Huh! its reasonably sound and wise. Sometimes women are good thinkers when it comes to tobacco and liquor, haha. You know my wife, she's also doing this to me. Accordingly, she prevented people to see me sleeping anywhere, spit or vomit and turns me out like a dumb, though real men like us only expresses our manhood through drinking but we always drink too much, haha." Baldur laughed.

"That's why...hmm...Let's help Albrecht, he's almost at the door now." George said.

Albrecht carried two sacks of charcoal so George took the other one and forwarded it to the kitchen He found Magee's preparing on the table with pasta and some cream, sauce pouches and canned milk beside her.

"Whoah? What are these food for, wow! where have you two found all of these? you even have garlic, onions and tomato sauce in pouches. Pork, beef all's in can. Hmm...all the Presidents around the globe would summon you both from having all of these. It should be "a fair share for all of us," remember that tagline in world war II rationing. But speaking of the furnace, hah! I'm speechless. Commendable." He smiled.

" But I found a letter beside the stove. It made me smile but true." Magee extended the paper to George while Albrecht read it too.

" No cooking at daytime when in the absence of fogs to preserve the secrecy of our chimney pots covered with granite above. There's no restriction after the war. Time of cooking schedule must fall within 1700-1800 hrs down to 0600 hrs.

" So we can't cook now. Its prohibited, huh. Mag, how is it? Albrecht looked at her.

" Its okay. Let's just prepare everything here and start it at 4 o'clock.

George moved closer to Magee and handed to her some biscuits and chocolates.

" Mag, eat these for breakfast and reserve some for lunch."

Magee smiled to George and received all that he has given.

"Where's for us George? where?" Albrecht stamped his feet on the floor and funnily doing tantrum.

Magee and George then laughed to Albrecht's expression then they all enjoyed a sack of biscuits that George gave them.

" Tonight, I'll gonna cook the best food for all of us. For now, let's just pick crunchy biscuits and sticky chocolates." Albrecht smiled.

" ...and hope we can taste a little wine too." Baldur suggested.

Magee was just silent.

"So, what made you two came up going to the cave. Did the traitors obviously reveal themselves these days?" George asked.

"Gador and Elias may have a grandeur plan. So its safe to hide Magee in this place. Baldur mumbled.

" We have to avoid their angst and have focus on the real enemies. The initial plan is to go South as gateway for the attack. But minutes before departure, I'll declare that we'll head west (former station two) with you as my team. Though, we will be heading station, east.

" Okay sure, that's a good point. That's good for ghosts who have ghost enemies, Albrechtlaughed.
