When Rayne was finally left alone with Julian, she looked at him.
"Are you sure about this?"
Julian smiled. "Yes. I estimate that most of Damien's n at the base are small fries. It shouldn't be hard to take them all out."
His words eased Rayne's nerves. "Maybe we can save a few innocent people in the process. Let know how many copies of ammo and weapons you need. I'll get them for you right away."
Julian leaned over and hugged her. "Thank you, babe. We only stand a chance because of you."
If it weren't for her ability to multiply items, they wouldn't have enough guns and ammo for five people, let alone the entire Alpha Team (~30 people).
Rayne smiled and leaned against his shoulder. She felt that she was only doing her part in helping to fight back against these unruly people.
Over ti, she realized more and more that if Damien's group was allowed to grow, there would be little hope for the innocent people who were just trying to survive.
It was evident that human lives didn't matter to them if they could simply use hundreds of people as guinea pigs in their sick experints.
"Are you sure you want to co?" Julian asked. He would much rather she stay safe here but would respect her wishes.
"Of course! We could use all the help we can get. Plus, I want to see what's happening there with my own eyes," she said resolutely.
The following day, Rayne spent the entire day organizing and planning the upcoming mission with Julian.
Including her and Julian, there would be twenty-two people coming along.
"You said only three sniper rifles?" Rayne asked Julian.
"Yes. Most of us will be infiltrating the base, while our three snipers will be sitting along the periter, taking Damien's n out from a distance," Julian explained.
He had just finished discussing formations and groupings with Ian, placing people in certain areas based on their strengths.
"Deondre will lead the sniper team, while Ian will lead the majority of the forces inside. You and I will infiltrate from a distance, taking people out without being seen," he added.
The floor of their spare bedroom was filled with various guns, knives, and ammo. Rayne had spent the last few hours organizing the supplies in the room, filling small packs with ergency dical supplies and painkillers.
As she finished sorting through everything, Julian invited Ian over to begin distributing the weapons and supply packs to each mber of the team who would be going tomorrow.
Ian couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the room filled with high-tech guns from REN Corporation.
"Wow, Boss, you really are sothing. Here I thought we only managed to make one copy of each weapon before the world flipped upside down," Ian said, marveling at the sight.
Julian smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "What's important is that we have the supplies. The silent shots will make everything go smoother. We will have the elent of surprise on our side."
After getting everything sorted out, Rayne decided to spend the rest of the day with Ella.
Since moving to the new base, she and Ella would only really see each other in the early mornings or evenings for a walk.
Recently, Ella had beco very interested in gardening, so Rayne went over to bring her a few different gardening books.
"Oh wow! Thank you, Rayne!" Ella said, looking at the small stack of books on the counter.
Rayne smiled. "I'm just ready to eat so fresh vegetables! I'm counting on you, okay?" she teased.
She was happy that her friend had found a hobby she could work on.
"Sooooo... how are things with Noah?" Rayne asked in a quiet voice.

Ella's face turned red. "Good! But I'm still too scared to tell my parents." They had t up a few tis in the surrounding forest under the guise of a "walk."
Rayne giggled at Ella's red face. "Well, hopefully, your father opens up to him soon. They've been working together a lot, right?"
"Yes. Dad helps Noah with base managent now, so they often spend ti with each other. Honestly, I'm kind of jealous," Ella admitted.
"But let tell you what, Rayne. This whole keeping our relationship hidden… is… kinda hot. Like, it turns on," she added, looking at Rayne with flushed cheeks.
"Well damn, girl, look at you!" Rayne laughed. She was happy for Ella and happy that they could talk about this stuff.
Romance was still relatively new for both of them, so being able to discuss details and experiences bonded them even more.
Rayne also told Ella a little bit about the mission she was going on tomorrow, explaining how the governnt base had been taken over by bad guys.
"Please be careful! I promise if sothing happens to you, I'm going to find you myself!" Ella declared, hugging Rayne tightly.
"Don't worry, I'll be okay," Rayne assured her, hugging her back.
They both curled up on Ella's couch, reading the books that Rayne had brought over while watching a recording of a reality TV show on her laptop.
When Reginald finally got ho, it was already evening. He saw his daughter and Rayne in the living room, laughing while watching a show.
The sight made him smile, happy to see their carefree attitudes as they lounged around.
If this were before the disasters, he would have scolded Ella, telling her to stop wasting her ti on aningless things. But now, it brought him a sense of joy and comfort.
"Hey, Dad, welco ho!" Ella shouted from the living room.
"Hello. Ignore , I'm going to find your mother… Don't bother us," he said, turning to find his adorable wife.
Ella rolled her eyes. "We might need to move to your place. My parents are still in their honeymoon phase."
Rayne giggled. "Okay, let's head over to mine. I think Noah is visiting Julian now anyway."
Ella's eyes lit up as she shot up from the ground. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"
