The Civilian: Resurgence
Chapter 13

After such a long interrogation, Ando did not manage to extract any information from the commander of the forces he was captive to. It seemed like the commander indeed had to force Ando with violence. Moreover, they did not want to talk at all, other than screaming in pain due to the torture that Ando gave.

Ando tortured him with an electric shock device attached to his wound, so that the person felt tremendous pain. But it seemed like that person really wanted to keep his mouth shut, and did not want to say a word.

"That's it. We'll just let him. You rest. Let him be my business later. We have to call the Wikar commander if he still doesn't want to talk" one of the Wikar troopers told Ando.

"alright. Don't let him take off his handcuffs" Ando said.

"Just calm. Once he moves, I'll push the button" the young man said, showing the shock button.

Ando then left the room. He headed to the bathhouse, to clean himself up. Then continue to eat and lie down for a while.

Ando is still thinking about how his two friends, Ryan and Tony, are doing. For days they were unconscious. They are still in the healing process. Ando was not allowed to accompany them, as the doctors were concerned that the healing process would be slow.

In the nursing room,**Tony** the weakly lying down tried to lift his body back up. But he has failed many times. His body is very weak. He could do nothing but lie down in this place. He looks around. It turns out that he's not the only one getting treatment. But**Ryan** and the team**Wikar**the others are also in this room.

**Tony** saw both of his hands that looked thinner. I don't know how long he's been in this place. He also did not know whether it was night, day, or morning. Can't see outwards.

"*It seems like this room is indeed very protected*" said*Tony** in his heart.

He also noticed the nurses who were still busy taking care of the other troops. **Tony** saw one of the young people smiling at him. It was like he recognized the boy.

Yep...

He was a teenager who was interrogated by**And**to battered. But the teenager looked fine. It's just that there's a little wound on his neck.

"*You've improved*?" ask the teenager.

"*Entahlah. I feel thinner*." replied*Tony**.

**Tony** kept looking at the wound on the teenager's neck, he remembered that there had been a small bomb attached to his neck. Looks like the bomb got off.

"*Take it easy. I have no grudge against you at all. The bomb's been successfully removed. Oh yes, your friend has joined the Wikar commander. So do I. Your friend always sees you from the outside of the glass, he really wants to see you. But unfortunately it can't be*" said the teenager.

"*Why*?" ask *Tony** to him.

"*Wikar Command wants everyone in this room to be more focused on their recovery. So he doesn't want anyone to come in, except the doctors and nurses*."

**tony** feels a little relieved, because you heard that your best friend is doing well. He was eager to meet his best friend. Perhaps, the pain can feel milder if **And** is next to it. Because they were always together.

"*I asked one of the doctors about your situation, he said that you'd be out of this room soon. You can meet your best friend again*."

"*Then what about you*?" enquire *Tony**.

"*I still have to go through therapy, because my thumb is broken*" said the teenager, showing her right hand.

"*So you're trying to protect me*?" ask *Tony** to him.

**Tony** feel sorry for the teenager. Because by losing his thumb in the right hand, he will be difficult to do any work. Especially when he's holding a spoon. The spoon will definitely fall, because his thumb has disappeared.

"*You don't have to worry. The doctors have made me a fake finger. That's why, I'm staying here, until I can really use my artificial thumb properly*" said the teenager.

"*good. I'll see you when I get out of here. I'll ask the Wikar commander for permission. If necessary, I will train you to use the artificial thumb*" said*Tony.

"*Instantly*?"

"*You*!"

The teenager looked so happy. For him, he not only got a new friend, but also a father figure in his life. Likewise with **Tony**, he felt very happy because the teenager looked happy.

"*Now go back to your bed. I'll check on your best friend this*." said one of the nurses on the teenager.

"*good. Get well Tony*."

"*Thank you*." Answer*Tony**.

"*He keeps asking about your situation. All this time he had no fixed family*" the nurse said on*Tony**.

"*You mean*?" ask *Tony** to him.

The nurse told **Tony**, that the teenager had been a vagrant. He likes to help civilians eat everyday. Many people consider him a child. And he was taken care of by everyone in this place. If there is a house or building that needs to be repaired, then the teenager must be called first.

The teenager was once the son of a rich man, but his biological parents died from being killed by soldiers. His parents were considered traitors by the government, as his father and mother secretly helped the Wikar group, sending weapons and ammunition.

Then the boy was saved by **Wikar*, and deliberately placed in the neighborhood of civilians, so that he was not found by the soldiers. If he becomes part of the official Wikar team, his identity will be revealed. And he'll be a fine meal for soldiers. Considering he was nineteen. He has not been able to fight well. After all, the boy would rather make peace than have to kill.

"*What's his name*?" ask *Tony** to the nurse.

"*His real name is Rusley. But he uses a pseudonym. Just call him Lee*." replied the nurse.

**Tony** is feeling more sorry for the child. He must live in fear. And become a manhunt for the army. Children his age, should still learn and gather with his friends. But right now, he should put his safety first, rather than an education.

Wikar sees photos of his childhood together with his parents. She wants her parents to be there and be her inspiration. But the world is different. Wikar was forced to separate from his parents, who are currently in hiding. Because if the soldiers knew where his parents were, they could be used as a tool to threaten Wikar and his army.

He had already anticipated all the things that would happen in the future. For the old man, he was forced to hide them in the basement, which was somewhere out of nowhere. So that the soldiers can't find them.
