"Yeah, definitely." I smiled. After I got my bacon, I stood around and scanned the cafe. Pretty much all of the tables were empty so we could sit anywhere we liked. "How about we sit over there? Tables empty and it's closer to the door. That way if things get crazy this morning we can get out of here quick." I said as I picked a piece of bacon from my plate and took a bite. I couldn't believe something that simple as a piece of bacon could taste so good.

I nodded. "Sounds good to me." I said and followed her over. Once I'd taken a seat across from Daisy, I grinned down at my food excitedly before picking up my fork and digging in. I groaned with delight as my first mouthful disappeared quickly. "I can't decide if I want to savor my food or just eat it all quickly and then go get seconds."

I smiled. "Eat it all and go get seconds. If they're offerin', I'd take it." I said with a small laugh as I piled half of my eggs and bacon onto a piece of my toast. I folded it like a taco and took a big bite. "Mmmm. This is so good." I said between bites. "Just like home." I was barely done chewing everything before I took another bite. I hadn't realized how much I had missed a simple breakfast. It was almost as good as when I'd cook at home, if not better.

I laughed. "I guess I can only try." I said before loading another forkful into my mouth. No more than five minutes later, I had demolished my plate. Setting my fork down, I leant back in my chair and stretched as far as I could without hurting myself. "I might give it a few minutes before I head up for more. Don't wanna seem too desperate... even though I clearly am."

As Sam finished his plate, I was just starting to work on my second breakfast-toast-taco. "Geez, you really were hungry." I laughed before taking a bite of my food. "I think waiting a few minutes is a good idea, you hungry hippo." I laughed again. I glanced around the room, catching a few smiles on peoples faces as they neared the food line. Once they saw they bacon you could see a small smile grow to to the biggest grin you'd ever seen. It was nice to see people semi-happy again.

I laughed at the name she called me and sat forward, gesturing at her toast sandwich. "When did you decide you wanted to eat your eggs like a Mexican?" I asked, watching as a bit of the egg and bacon filling escaped out one end. "I can honestly say I've never seen bacon and eggs eaten that way."

"My sister showed me this when we were kids. So I tried it and I've been eating them this way ever since." I smirked and took another bite of my breakfast taco. Once I was finished chewing and swallowing it, I spoke again. "You should try it. It's really good... Amazing actually." I laughed. "You've seriously never seen anyone eat bacon and eggs this way?" I took the last bite of my food and pushed my plate away from me.

I shook my head. "Nope... it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen." I stated with a smile. Glancing around the room, I noticed the noise level had risen considerably since people had started filing in and spotted what was on offer for breakfast. "If only we had this treatment everyday, it would make everyone a lot happier." I said turning back to Daisy then paused as a thought popped into my head. "Maybe we should send the government some of your breakfast taco. Then they'd be forced to change their minds about us because we opened their eyes to a whole new exciting world."

I rose a brow and smirked. "Yeah, my breakfast taco is going to change their minds and the world." I said sarcastically. "Maybe this thing is gonna make me famous." I laughed and leaned an elbow on the table, resting my face in my hand. "That would be nice though... Getting this good treatment everyday. I'd never get tired of it, that's for sure." I shrugged. "Hey, maybe if we make it out of that big battle, we'll get sent home for doing good work and then we could eat all the breakfast taco's we wanted."

I chucked as I sat back in my chair. "Yeah, wouldn't that be a dream."
Now that my food had settled in my stomach, I was starting to think I didn't need a second helping of bacon and eggs, despite how much I wanted it.
"So... what are we supposed to be doing today?" I asked Daisy as I laid a hand on my stomach. I couldn't exactly be preparing for the front line, that would require training, and my body was not in shape for anything of the sort.

"Who knows." I shrugged. "They fed us good today. Hopefully this doesn't mean we're getting another surprise announcement." I looked around the room at all of the soldiers getting food, taking seats, talking. No sight of any generals though. "We might just be sitting ducks until it's time to go kick some ass. I sure hope we aren't. That'll just leave us anxious." I sighed. "You think we could find a way out of here?" I whispered, just low enough for Sam to hear.

"I dunno, it'd be extremely risky. If we found out more about this base and got to know the in's and out's of all the procedures, I'm sure we could figure out something." I murmured to her as I glanced around the room once more, now wondering if that was what everyone was talking about. Across the room, I spotted Penelope chatting excitedly with Luke who was nodding as he stuffed his mouth full of egg, Christy sitting between the two of them looking bored stiff. Even if we did find a way out, could we leave everyone else behind?

"Forget I said anything about it. You're right, it's extremely risky and I wouldn't want anything to happen to us." I said quietly. "We do need a plan though. I'm not going into this thing completely unprepared. I ain't goin' out like that." I shook my head. I looked up at Sam then around the room again. I could see Christy stuck between a conversation with Luke and Penelope a few tables away.

"They're lying!" Someone screamed as they crashed through the doors of the Food Hall. It was a boy. Brown skin, short hair, and he looked as strong as an Ox. "It's all a lie, they're not even-" He was cut off as three very large Sergeants tackled him to the ground. "They're lying!" The boy continued to shout and fight back as the Sergeants tussled on the ground with him. "We're being sent out tomo-" One of them punch him in the face, knocking him out. At first, the entire Food Hall was dead silent. Everyone stood around with their mouths to the ground. Some people still had their utensils hoovering in front of their mouths. Then all at once it seemed as if what just happened clicked. Every person in the room was enraged and I knew all hell was about to break lose.

I froze in my seat as the guards hauled the guy off of the ground and dragged him out of the room. Sitting up, I turned to Daisy and stared at her. "Tomorrow?" I mouthed throughout all of the angry shouting in the room. We weren't going to last two seconds out there, Daisy and I weren't ready, I could hardly run let alone fight. "They can't be serious." I muttered, more to myself than anything, I wasn't expecting to be heard over the noise.

I stood up, angry and ready to punch the next person that walked passed me. "You've gotta be kidding me!" I yelled. "You can't send us out there like this! This is murder" I shouted. Someone else in the crowd agreed with me, throwing a plate across the room. I looked at Sam, with hot tears forming in my eyes. "They can't send us out there. They can't."

I gingerly pushed myself up from the table and grabbed Daisy by the arm. "Come on let's get out of here, we don't want to be in the middle of another riot." I told her, trying to keep calm as I guided her out of the room. "We'll go to the General, see if it's true and if it is we can try and change his mind."

I nodded, letting him guide us out of the food hall before it got too rowdy. I could hear people yelling and throwing things as we left. Once we were outside, I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "They can't do this to us." I said said calmly, my eyes to the ground. "They can't just-- just kill us." I wiped my eyes clear of any tears before they could stroll down my face.

Letting my hand drop from her arm, I surveyed the area around us. It was quiet, all we could hear was the sounds of anger from behind us. "I guess they can." Maybe they were sending us out for that purpose exactly. We were taking up space after all. After our first base had been attacked and we'd intruded into this camp, what I thought was generosity had apparently been a burden. None of us had trained in weeks, they had to know that we weren't ready to fight. We needed time and they weren't going to give it.

"But- What about--" I sighed. "You can't go out there like this. You're still all banged up and stuff." I paused. "What are you gonna do? None of us are prepared for this." I looked up at Sam then out in front of us and the dry, cold base grounds. "I'm gettin' outta here." I mumbled. "They ain't gonna kill me. Not without a fight."

"How? How are you getting out of here?" I asked suddenly frustrated. "We don't know anything about this place, you can't just up and leave, they'll kill you. How do you expect to last out there? We don't know where the nearest town is, we don't know the terrain, we could be a hundred miles from anything and you want to leave. Just walk out of here like there's nothing stopping you. Well I can't. I can't leave, I won't last out there any more than I'd last on the front line."
