15 Operation Hog Nose part 2
"Are we near..."
"What the f- "
"Move!"
Several guns discharge into the tree line as large insects break from the tree line and head straight for the snake. Straight toward Sia and the other people.
Sia chokes on her scream and runs straight for the tents. The injured woman is trying to break free of Vanessa's arms and run herself. Vanessa understands how futile that will be and yanks her off the ground. She heads for the truck while ignoring the frantic woman's wriggling and the screams blaring into her ears. The men have already pulled out their weapons. The ones with guns shoot at the insects and the ones with melee weapons get into position to beat anything that comes within their reach.
BELOSTOMATIDS SERVE AS A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION
Sia runs into the side of a tent and falls over.
"What?!" She yells while scrambling to get back up and looking to see if any insects are following her.
BELOSTOMATIDS, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE GIANT WATER BUGS
THIS DISTRACTION COULD GAIN SUBJECT 001 SUBSTANTIAL TIME TO ESCAPE
Sia pauses in her aimless running to look around at everyone else.
Turner and Vanessa are shooting at beetles. Raymond is helping several other men beat at the legs and head of one insect, and everyone else seems to be doing the same; or hiding. Sia tenses up.
'This is my chance!' She grabs her backpack straps and starts running toward an unguarded side of the camp toward the trees.
The land dips down and she runs faster while going downhill. She looks down at her feet and puts an arm out to keep herself steady.
WARNING: CORRECT GAZE
WARNING: CORRECT GAZE
'Why warn me if you can do it yourself?' Sia thinks before slowly looking up.
She looks up and stops short before pitching forward into a latrine.
"Ah!"
Her short scream is stopped by the splash of fecal matter into her face. She purses her lips and closes her eyes before anything major can make it into her orifices. She jumps up and slips out of the latrine. It's wide and not very deeply dug. Sia gags and holds her hands up away from her body. She opens her eyes and takes a few steps away from the hole.
INSUFFICIENT WARNING TIME
WARNING PROMPT TIME ADJUSTED
Sia groans and wipes her hands off on the grass.
"No time. No time." She grumbles to herself before fleeing once again.
The gunshots are starting to diminish gradually and stop.
"Sia?!"
Sia plows through the high grass. She huffs as she rushes forward through bushes and low hanging branches. She still hears voices calling out her name. As she breaks through some more trees she stops and looks at the flat plains ahead of her and the water to her right. There is nowhere to run. She can't wet the things within her backpack, and she isn't confident the grass would hide her at all.
"Sia?!"
As she is debating on where to storm, she hears the calls getting closer. She veers to her left and gets behind the thickest tree she can find. Barreling into her hiding spot, she sits still for a few moments.
She hears heavy footsteps break through the trees and someone loudly gasping for air. Sia slows her breathing and swallows thickly. The sound makes her close her eyes. It seems so loud within her own head. The person trails along the tree line towards her then runs out into the field to the highest point.
Sia can see it is Vanessa. She eases herself to the side little by little to be better hidden by the tree and away from Vanessa's perspective. Vanessa is turning in a circle when another person runs through the trees to join her. Sia looks away and pushes herself further behind the tree.
"Sia!!!!" Vanessa hollers.
"Stop! It might attract something here. We've drawn enough attention to us. She's probably circled back to the truck by now," Raymond speaks softly at the exasperated woman.
"That damn idiot. She should have hidden under the truck like I've told her before."
"Come on."
They retreat into the trees and double back to the camp.
Thick brown and green leaves are littering the ground around her. Sia waits for their footsteps to become completely inaudible. After a few moments, she reaches for the leaves. Collecting a few green leaves gives her a pile of "tissues" to wipe her face.
She is spitting and wiping fecal gunk off her neck when she sees Ika's sneakers.
